Reading

Peeling our skin off takes us down to the bare bones; once we get there, it doesn’t hurt anymore—it brings us peace. You should feel the change from the past thirteen days: expectations were high, demand was at its maximum, and we were left burnt out. This burnout took our skin off. With it went […]

Humans are profoundly social beings. We were not evolved to live in isolation, stalking the forest alone like the tiger; to be forcibly severed from the collective is our greatest torture. Yet, as the great wheels of time spin, we find ourselves in a volatile era of transition. Our society has been hijacked by the […]

I have always wanted—perhaps not only me—to compile a reference log of what each one of the combinations of the nawals means. In a way, this workshop, daily reading, and trecena reading exercise has been that: a way to write down observations of how the energy manifests and to find patterns that can be tied […]

As the trecena of the Jaguar comes to an end, we are watching what was hidden and occulted rise into plain sight. What thrives in shadow weakens in exposure. Magic loses its grip when it is dragged out of the cave and forced into the open field. Illusion depends on obscurity; once illuminated, it must […]

Half and half: one side can be determined and read; the other is open to be made from the first half. A sign and a trecena set half the setting for the time being; the other half is what you make of it. It’s never good to go around half-complete, so we are going to […]

A day like today is infested with intentions, things to do and requests to meet. The energy is there to fullfill them all and much in the same tune, readings for a day and a combination like today are as abundant as there are little fish and critters in a lake. We are at the […]

The inexorable mutability of time and life compels us toward an unending pursuit for stillness, a desire to pause reality and take a still of it so that we can actually appreciate it. No wonder we have been caught by photography, cameras and the inexplicable and relentless desire to capture and store everything we experience […]

We live in a time governed by the fear of what will happen—yet what we fear is already happening. An induced dissociation leads astray even the most cunning minds. We are blinded by what is obvious, unable to make sense of our actions because they all lead down the same path: more of the same. […]

Sound is a physical phenomena that we don’t know as such. Like it, many other things we perceive only within ourselves. We are told everything is an hallucination happening, we don’t experience the sensations, only what our sensing organs tell us we are sensing. We don’t experience the world, only through the filters of our […]

Two forces clash, that of time, lessening the entropy and dictating order, and that of energy and the soul, what is alive, life, that wishes to express and expand. You can’t quit, you can’t die, you must make your intentions come into life, with the time you are given, with time against you. You are […]
