Se ha impuesto una visión mecanicista del mundo que no ve a ningún dios, pero que adora al dinero como si lo fuera. Al hacerlo, ha creado la peor clase de dios posible: uno real, uno que está muerto, inanimado, y que crece a medida que la vida se convierte en muerte. Lucra con el […]

A mechanistic worldview that sees no god, yet worships money as one, has taken over. In doing so, it has created the worst kind of god possible: a real one, one that is dead, non-living, and that grows from aliveness being turned into death. It profits from killing. It is so big and so powerful […]

Economy is everything, in the sense that our whole lives as individuals are shaped around our economic possibilities. It is a structural environment in which we have a certain freedom to move around, to climb higher or lower; there are niches that can be filled and there is fortune—luck—that can be found. But those are […]

The title for Newton’s “laws” of physics begins with the word Philosophy, showing that what we think is a solid unbreakable law, is simply an observation of something we can only describe and wonder about. Much in the same way are the nawals here described and observed in this exercise of daily short readings and […]

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 […]
