This year we have been tuning in more and more to the Mayan people ... first they came to our retreat in Mexico and then they channelled more insights in our German Retreat re our preparation for our part in the Galactic civilizations - will post this channeling online soon but today received this from Aluna Joy ... very timely ... She writes ... The Maya Goddess Guadalupe is the power of the Great Mother Earth, the Goddess of Sustenance, an Honored Grandmother, and Bringer of Maize (abundance). Other indigenous names she are know as was Tonantzin (Mother Earth), Chicomexochitl (Seven Flowers) and Chalchiuhcihuatl (Woman of Precious Stone). Some claim that upon appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe in the hill of Tepeyac where Tonatzins temple had been burnt by the Spanish priests, the natives accepted Our Lady of Guadalupe as Tonatzin. Tonantzin means “Our Sacred Mother” in the Nahuatl language and she continues to be connected symbolically to fertility (abundance) and the earth. It is not known precisely how Tonantzin became connected to the Virgin of Guadalupe, yet many people of the time believed that her appearance represented a return of the Aztec mother deity. There are many myths surrounding the Virgin of Guadalupe but she has been recognized by the church as a manifestation of the Virgin Mary. The Virgin of Guadalupe has become a national symbol of the Mexican nation and she is viewed by many to be a special protector of Native American peoples. Thanks Aluna!
