This morning at dawn in the glorious Chol'Qij Mayan Calendar we start a new trecena / 13 day cycle guided by the nahual 1 Tijax.

Wednesday 20th of May

Tijax is the nahual of obsidian. The stone venerated by our Mexican & Maya ancestors for healing.

This power crystal has the ability to heal & cut, both in the physical but especially in the energetic realms.

The obsidian blade or Tecpatl has been used for pyhsic surgery and opening the dimensions into the energetic realms.

Here is where we can cut thru the mysterious viels of all creation to pull out invisible illnesses and call the spirits in for doctoring and healing.

Tijax is a nahual of healers, doctors, or even cueanderx.

It's the energy and ability to heal, those with this nahual have power in their hands.

Yet it holds the duality of both healing, but also suffering.

This time we must watch our words and be careful with what we speak, as our tongues can too be made of Tecpatl and cut sharply or heal like flowers.

If you have obsidian lying around it's time to pull it out and pray with it.

Wake it up during this trecena by smudging it con humo de coapali or singing to it.

Use your obsidiana for healing any invisible energies that are lingering in your cuerpitos.

Cut away the problemas all around you by looking within the obsidian mirror and seeing you must start with you.

It's time to stop blaming others and look deep within and see all life holds teachings & we must remember to sit in reflection.

With the start of a new trecena, use this day's energy for cutting away heavy energy or thoughts, and call in strength, fortitude, & healing.

Take time at your altars to pray for healing of self, but also light velaciones for it can be a powerful time for collective healing, especially as we walk towards this powerful luna llena.

In collective prayer we ask for humanity to find healing, to look deep within the obsidian mirror and find peace within.

This is a time to call forth a stop to all suffering and look within for healing.

Matiox chawe nahual Tijax por este trecena sagrada.

Today at dawn in the glorious Chol'Qij Mayan Calendar we have started a new trecena 13 day cycle guided by the nahual 1 kan

1 Kan - Thursday 7th of May

Kan is known as Quetzalcoatl, Gucumatz, or Kluklukan and is the serpent of transformation. 🐍

Kan is the serpent, teaching us we have the ability to shed our old skin, healing any sickness.

We are meant to transform and let go of old versions of ourself, not stay the same vibration throughout life.

The serpent teaches us this ability to grow new skin.

Whatever you have been holding onto, this is a time to find that final movement and let it go.

Shake it out of your body 🌬️

Burn the old stories in the fire 🔥

Wash it away in the river 💦

Give it back to the earth 🌍

Use ritual this trecena, incorporating the elements to give that final release.

This time begins a new trecena, thus will guide the following 13 day cycle as a time of renewal and letting go of old energies.

Use this as a time of healing and transform.

La medicina ancestral nos sana, limpia, y cura. Pero la llave es la fe y tu relación con el creador, con la medicina, con tu mismo....

Every practitioner will offer different modalities, knowledge, or tips on how they've healed or from what they've learned, pero they are just an instrument for creator to channel the healing thru them.

We each have aceso to la medicina. Many of our ancestors may have died protecting it, pero ya estamos en un tiempo of coming back to honor its power.

But we have to believe and as well acknowledge we may different methods at times. Honoring all los caminos that lead to healing.

Curanderismo is holistic medicine, where one acknowledges healing must occur in all 3 plans; the physical, spiritual, & emotional.

We look to the root of illness using indigenous teachings, medicine tools, plants, and wisdom.

The foundation of Curanderismo is to not to just treat an illness, but also to look at how and from where it manifested in the emotional body.

For all illnesses, problems, disease, conditions form physically in the body from a directly related illness in the soul.

If need of a limpia, I have openings this month of May at Xochikalli Healing Center / The House of Flowers in Eureka CA 📍

Ayer en the glorious CholQ'ij Mayan Calendar we honored el día 8 Kawok

Friday 1st of Mayo

Peaking in fullness around 10:23 am Pacific time

8 Kawok - Full Moon :

Kawoq represents community & family.

It reminds us of the balance between all life; the plants, animals, & humanity and the sun, moon, stars, and cosmos.

It's the constant energetic exchange between all life. Acknowledging we 2leggeds are equal to a blade of grass.

Kawok is the balance between all existence and reminds us of the reference we should ideally remember to walk in, cada pasito es sagrado.

Kawok guides us on May’s 1st full moon and thus it's a potent time to work within your community and better the future for the good of all our people & relations.

May everyone have enjoyed la luna llena 🌝

Moose 🫎 Moccasin Workshop

Saturday, May 2, 2026

From 11:00 AM  5:00 PM

At Xochikalli Healing Center / The House of Flowers in Eureka CA 📍

Class is a $145 exchange with all tools provided.

3-6 people
........,..........................................................

Join me in my yurt studio to make your own soft sole leather moccasins by hand.

This is a medium level class, as it's a lot of meticulous, lengthy work with leather.

Especially as the hide I have available this year is extra thick! So strong hands needed.

The yurt will hold up to 7 people at the table + lots of outdoor space or relax in the tipi as you lace up your moccs.

The class may be cancelled if under 3 people register.

Make any size moccasin .

I've got patterns in most full sizes. If your a half size, we will probably measure down.

Adult Sizes range from 6 women &up to 13 men.

About the hide :

This is a very thick moose hide I bought in Alaska nearly 10 years ago.

Been holding on to it for some special moccasins... Yet the special occasion in now & are your moccasins .

I'm estimating the hide is nearly 10 ounces , that's a thick hide .

We will be making soft sole moccasins that are perfect for outdoor use in nature or ceremony.

They are not great for street use or cement as this wears out a soft sole over time.

Yet again this is the thickest skin I've ever worked with, thus can last many many moons if treated well.

Feliz luna nueva ✨ 🌑 ✨ Ayer / yesterday on April 17th at 4:51am la luna went into full darkness.

In the glorious CholQ'ij Mayan Calendar we had the day
7 Kan or 7 Coatl in the Tonalpohualli (according to the Alfonso Caso correlation).

Friday 17th - New Moon : 

Kan represents gucumatz o kluklukan, el serpiente 🐍

In these traditions the serpent represents healing, and transformation.

Kan is our inner fire & energy of our blood + our DNA.

As the serpent it teaches us we have the ability to shed our old skin and change at any time.

We are not meant to stay the same vibration throughout life, pero constantly cambiar nuestre piel.

Transformation is no easy feat.

This movimiento of change isn't comfortable.

Pero it brings with it infinite growth and renewal

Kan is also a nahual if sanación and un día to pray to heal any sickness.

Coatl es un día that speaks to the vibration and movement of absorbing while also letting go.

It teaches us intelligence and how we must be willing to change, transform, and grow if we wish to progress as a human race.

With the darkness of the new moon, plant seeds for healing & calling the end to any suffering.
