Beautiful!

In a journey many years ago, I was taken to what I call True Earth. I saw billions of souls who were filled with excitement and passion to be born here. There was such anticipation, such joy about coming to this planet. Earth holds beauty and living intelligence that calls to the soul.

Traditional shamanic cultures understood this. Ceremonies were performed not only for people, but for the land itself so that the relationship between humans, nature, and spirit would remain in balance. Spend time on the land, listen to the wind, watch the movement of water, and feel the sun warming your body. The presence of the Earth is always here, holding us. When we honor the Earth, we begin to remember why our souls were so passionate to be born here in the first place.

🐝 Bumblebees don’t want to sting you.
Most of the time, these fuzzy pollinators are simply busy doing their job—collecting nectar and helping flowers grow. If a bumblebee feels threatened, it will often raise one of its legs as a gentle warning before ever thinking about stinging.
They’re known as the gentle giants of the garden, playing a huge role in pollinating plants and supporting the health of ecosystems. When we give them space, they quietly continue their important work.
✨ A calm bee is a busy bee.
🌼 Without bees, many flowers and foods would disappear.
🌍 Protecting pollinators helps protect our planet.
So if a bumblebee lands nearby, stay calm and let it be—it’s not interested in you, only in the flowers. 🐝💛

"Tiwa, the language I learned at Picuris Pueblo when I was a child, isn't a "word language," it is a sound language. It is an example of the language of the land. It came not from the people's desire to communicate, but from their desire to stay as close as possible to Creator's gift of manifestation-life. To stay as close as possible to that life in this realm was to sound whatever happened to exist at the moment. If you were standing, for instance, and you could get in touch with how standing sounds, then you couldn't possibly stay too far from wisdom: physical wisdom, or intellectual wisdom, or emotional wisdom, or spiritual wisdom.

Instilled in the ancient metaphoric language of the tiwa are many answers. I have been studying the Picuris Tiwa for over fifty years, using art to discover revelation and reading the Tiwa texts. Spirituality is packed inside the Tiwa language of the land. The power of Spirit is in the sounds."

" I pray to the birds. I pray to the birds because I believe they will carry the messages of my heart upward. I pray to them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day—the invocations and benedictions of Earth. I pray to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear. And at the end of my prayers, they teach me how to listen.” ― Terry Tempest Williams “When Women Were Birds” • 2015

“Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that a spring was breaking
out in my heart.
I said: Along which secret aqueduct,
Oh, water, are you coming to me,
water of a new life
that I have never drunk?

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that a fiery sun was giving
light inside my heart.
It was fiery because I felt
warmth as from a hearth,
and sun because it gave light
and brought tears to my eyes.

Last night as I slept,
I dreamt—marvelous error!—
that it was God [Creator/Goddess]
I had here inside my heart. ”
― Antonio Machado (Spain)

We all carry the sacred within our hearts. It is time to allow the sacred to flow out to the seven directions and help heal the world. We are all related.

Did you know that Friday the 13th was not always considered unlucky?

In fact, in older spiritual traditions it was believed to be a powerful and sacred alignment.

Friday has long been associated with goddesses connected to love, magic, and feminine power. In Norse tradition the day is linked to Freyja, one of the most powerful practitioners of seiðr magic. The name “Friday” itself comes from the Old English Frīgedæg, meaning “day of Frigg,” another powerful Norse goddess.

The number 13 also carries deep mystical symbolism.

A lunar year contains roughly thirteen full moons, and many ancient cultures honored this number as a reflection of natural cycles, fertility, and divine feminine rhythm. Long before it was labeled unlucky, thirteen represented completion, transformation, and cosmic timing.

It was only later, through shifting cultural and religious beliefs, that both the number thirteen and Friday began to gather darker superstition around them.

But within witchcraft and many pagan paths, Friday the 13th can still be seen as something entirely different.

A moment where lunar cycles, feminine energy, and ancient symbolism quietly intersect.

Rather than a day of misfortune, it can be viewed as a day of intuition, reflection, and subtle magic a reminder that what the world fears often carries forgotten wisdom.

Because sometimes superstition is simply the shadow left behind when an old sacred meaning has been forgotten.

And Friday the 13th still carries echoes of that ancient power for those who remember how to listen.

Curanderismo practitioners are more than just healers; they are nurturers of balance and inner and outer harmony. Each practitioner has their own unique calling, journey, and customs.
