No matter how hard we try

[Guest guest]

Very interesting posting about Eke's work of art. Ancient Nahoas (old mexicans

including aztecs, mayas and hundreds of other tribes) were great artists and

made beautiful pottery. Does not matter how new or old their pottery was, they

used to destroy them once every 52 years in a ceremony called The Fire Making

Ceremony. The ceremony coincided when the 7 sisters (Krittika) used to pass

above the Mexico City meridian. They used to fast for 5 days and they used to

destroy all pottery and extinguish all fires. Then, once their priests used to

observe that the 7 sisters had crossed the local meridian, their priests used to

make a new fire on the Hill of The Star. The new fire used to be passed with

torches all over Mexico, to houses, temples and streets. In that way with the

new fire they used to make new style of pottery and start a new cycle of 52

years.

 

<<He recently sculpted a large coffee mug

type of piece, with a lizard wrapped around the mug.>>

 

Lizards were sacred to the shamans because they are connected to fire. Lizards

give secrets to the shamans just like the European shamans used cats to get

secrets.

 

<<It would have been fine there until we found it after the nightime visit

of the thief, but they obviously couldn't know that our cat walks along

that ledge often, and likes to rub itself against any object along that

walkway, and so, rubbed the cup right off the 4 foot high ledge, and

kaboom, crash went the fragile piece of china like pottery on the ground

outside in the middle of the night, before we could even receive the

thief's gift back into our lives>>

 

There we are, the cat and the lizard giving an especial omen. I have the

feeling that the omen is very positive and soon Eke is going to find some

important knowledge. It could have been better have counted the number of

pieces from the broken pot cos that gives more clues to the mystery.

 

lots of love
