What goes through your mind when you see a deer grazing near the side of a road? For many there is a sense of awe, a sense of feeling blessed to have the privilege of being close to a wild animal. For many this vision of harmony with the natural world brings a sense of comfort, but others may think Read the full article…

Awesome and enchanting – but fearsome and unpredictable – the Jaguar is not to be trifled with! The same can be said about this Jaguar-oriented Ix trecena, with its emphasis often on significant transformation from one state of being to another. This is a period during which people are often “called to battle” to deal with things of an earthly Read the full article…

Here we are back at the beginning of a brand new 260-day Tzolk’in cycle, after making our way through one of the most surreal 260-day periods in recent memory. Click here for the Podcast to accompany this trecena. Remember how it was 260 days ago – when we were “feeling good” after those rays of light broke through the clouds Read the full article…

Here we go with the last trecena (13 day period) of the current 260 day cycle – a cycle that began with the week “when America turned the page” (as journalist Don Lemon put it), and ends with Dussehra, the final day of a popular Hindu festival that celebrates the triumph of good over evil. Let’s look at how this Read the full article…

It happened in early August of 1521, when a ruthless mercenary and hundreds of his allies savagely beat a once-powerful empire into submission and took over control. But wait – was that 500 years ago or was that last Jan. 6th?  While it Read the full article…

Indeed that WAS a time of “testing”, as noted in the last blog with regard to the K’an trecena that we have just gone through. During the past 13 days many things that had previously been “unseen” or long hidden were suddenly exposed, jolting people into new realizations, in many different areas, particularly with regard to the atrocities that have Read the full article…

What a difference one 260-day Tzolk’in cycle can make! One cycle ago (last October) the White House looked like a “haunted house”, with entire suites of offices vacant, with an infected fake president inside, “a victim of his own negligence” (as journalist Don Lemon put it). The “super- spreader-in-chief” was either denying that there was a problem, or making extremely Read the full article…

The timing was exquisite – timing fit for a King, or a Queen, or a Pharaoh, as fate and circumstance would have it. Just as this trecena was starting to come in late last night (April 3rd) Egypt staged a spectacular royal “Golden Parade” as the mummies of 18 kings and four queens – Egypt’s royal ancestors – were transported Read the full article…

“I’m on a mission” – that seems to be what Mother Nature is saying right now, as crocuses and fresh green shoots push through the earth, buds pop out on trees, and birds start returning to northern climes. The annual herring spawn in the ocean off eastern Vancouver Island is attracting hundreds of seals and sea lions, and tens of Read the full article…
