New Year

On New Years Day we lit a Ceremonial Fire in the middle of the Central Batey to make invocations with the Misterios for positive energies for the New Year.  The heat and brightness of the fire was in sharp contrast to the muted colors of winter, and the fire burned with quickness, eagerly lighting immediately.  The Four Mounds of the Central Batey all had fruits and roots that had been with the Misterios of the Munanso for over 3 weeks.  

We made invocations, burned sage, tobacco, sweetgrass, meditated, and watched the many Misterios who showed up in the Sacred Fire. It was a simple Ceremonial Moment and we chose to keep it simple due to the complex energies that we face everyday in the world.  We also kept it simple because of the magnitude of energies that were released during the recent Full Moon/ Solstice/ Full Lunar Eclipse.
