This full Moon which we call La Luna del Ceti because of the tiny fish that usher in the dry season for our Caribbean Islands and sets in motion the harvest of the yuka and other beautiful things is an important time for ceremony as we also celebrate the change of season.
As such the ceremonies our ancestors taught us that help mark the revolution and tilt of our Atabey
and
the environmental
changes that come with her are also enhanced by the beauty and force of Ata Karaya.
Now in our traditions the
Solstices open the door of
the male ( Fire ) energy as the
Equinoxes and the full Moons are the doors of the female ( Water ) energy.
So it is this winter solstice /dry season for us means the fire of change and the life in the flow of water Two powerful forces of creation itself will once again dance in harmony as the beauty and force of creation at its best . In their dance they continue to ignite our spirits with the sparks of light from past wisdoms learned from the flame within our souls and warm the waters of new wisdoms to come for future life.
This is also an excellent time via the fires of our ceremonies
and our traditions that teach us that connection to our ancestors
are very important and we can surrender our hearts to the spiritual knowledge we receive through
them and from their direct revelations . So it is that during these special moments we must dance with them in ceremony.
This is and was the way of our Aracoeles our Nargutis and for others as well as this is the OLDEST spiritual tradition on the planet .
These ancient ways show us we can effect our lives by not only connecting to our ancestors but , by moving energy with our minds in ceremony and prayers and feeling the earth as a living being.
Thus the winter solstice embraced by the fire that gives lite to Ata Karaya is a time for joint ceremony for male and female together as families and whole yukayekes :)
A Beautiful time for balance to reign in the skies above us ,with us and in us.
It is a time to celebrate the Yuka ,the Sacred Tobacco ,sweetgrass and other medicines and a time to spiritually connect to this magnificent universe
Keep to mind nearly every tradition has some way of doing this and ours has been here since time immemorial.
This period of total balance is a good moment to reawaken the ancestral memory written in your DNA ,especially now for we are living in a time of stress and disharmony caused by those who would use their fire to destroy life rather than lite the way to a better tomorrow.
As such we will need strength of spirit for we will soon again enter into a period of time where Ata Karaya will help her sister Bibi Itibakahubaba manifest herself as Apito,Mamona,Guamazoa in the greatest of her roles as Atabeira.
Rivers will rise oceans will move with the power of Atabey ,mountains will shake and mankind will be forced to respect her power and her magnificence or become extinct .
This release of her power will begin when Ata karaya dances with the Iguanas in the next full Moon as the forces of creation realign their energies . In the celestial dance during this winter solstice the forces of life prepare themselves and so should we.
So it is daughters of Atabey that you must use your collective and individual power of thought that men will respect life and learn they can not destroy it. Mankind must stop the abuse of mother earth.
Mankind must extinguish the fires of hate and greed or drown in the seas of self destruction.
Let the minds of the leaders of the world be open to understanding ,compassion ,respect and love for the forces of life.
To all the Indigenous daughters of Bibi Atabey and our relatives I say We must prepare our people by helping them be strong of spirit for only strong spirits can ensure the future for our present and yet to be born generations.
Keep to mind the power of collective thoughts that can generate both positive and negative energy :) So fill your hearts and your minds with thoughts that will bring about good. When we all do this the power of your female and male charge will help not just you but others as it dances in the constant force of creation to maintain the harmony of balance in our magnificent universe and all life on our beautiful Mother Earth.
With Love this is my Full Moon message for all of you on this
Bemagutihibenali Karaya Ceti 2018
Stay strong stay connected love and respect each other .
Abrazos Ata Bibi Inaru.
