Peruvian Shamanism in Colo. - Personal & Planetary Healing

Enter your personal portal into a soul-infused, Earth-honoring tradition.
Typically, I host Sunday evenings with a Celtic focus, and Friday nights with a Peruvian or general shamanic focus. But this month, Friday will have a Celtic theme, because I won't be available on Sunday. But we can still do a journey or meditation on the equinox and finding balance in this season.

This Friday, we will explore traditions of Brigid, the Goddess, Saint, and midwife of Spring, and her counterpart ... the Calliach, ancient energy of Winter, bringer of storms, builder of mountains, and protector of wild animals.

Brigid is a goddess and saint beloved by both pagans and Christians in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the US and around the world. She is also known as a triple goddess of healing, of fire & the forge, and of poetry & inspiration. There are groups of "flamekeepers of Brigid" who take turns lighting a candle for Brigid in their homes on a cycle of 20 days.

The Calliach, on the other hand, is not much beloved by anyone. But she is a power of nature which we need to respect. Without her cold breath, we will be facing more heat, more drought, more windswept fires.
In Scotland, she created the mountains, including the Paps of Jura. And in Ireland, she dropped the stones that were shaped by the ancient pre-Celtic peoples into cairns that served both to honor the dead and to mark the cycles of the sun's rebirth every year. We will discover and journey into one of these cairns at Loughcrew, Ireland, which has marked the Equinox sunrise for over 5000 years. It is one of the Hollow Hills, filled with Earth Light, twice a year.

The Equinox this year is Friday, March 20. It is a time for finding balance in our lives. A few days later, March 25, is the ancient holiday known as Lady's Day in Celtic and British lands. In ancient times, pre-Roman, pre-Greek, it was the beginning of the New Year. Oddly, Lady's Day is sacred to both St. Mary and the Calliach.

Peru does have an amazing marker of the equinoxes, however: At the top of Machu Picchu in Peru, a giant stone marks the seasons with shadows. Usually, the stone casts a shadow throughout the day, as any other structure would. However, at exactly noon on the spring or fall equinox date, the Sun’s shadow disappears! Therefore, the stone is a precise indicator of the date of the two equinoxes. (reference from The Old Farmers Almanac). March 20 is the autumn Equinox in Peru.
