Equinox greetings beloved community,
In the northern hemisphere, March is associated with ‘spring cleaning’. This month we offer you a potent ritual entitled
Transforming Human Impediments located in the
Ritual Arts section of our website. This ritual is carefully designed to elicit healing transformation and visionary self-empowerment for yourself and loved ones by using photographs, writings, drawings, etc., that have been worked on your PMT altar ground. In the words of don Oscar Miro-Quesada, “It is a noble honor to master the art of the ritual transformation of seemingly autonomous obstacles in service to others. This is a true re-Membering of your destined role as luminous strands within the great web of life. You may rest assured that your prayers and good medicine shall always accompany you and those you serve on this sacred Earth walk.”
As we approach the equinox, take a moment to find a ceremony in
your region and make an effort to participate even if it means driving and/or staying overnight with a community member. If you intend to creatively honor the balance of the sun and the moon in your own PMT-related ceremony and would like to add it to the THOTH community calendar, email
Michele@heartofthehealer.org. PLEASE REACH OUT. The solstice and equinox are the most important days of the year for ceremony dedicated to Pachamama.
