For the Eclipse I made an Ayni Despacho - a prayer bundle, to honor the Earth and all her children. Each ingredient has its own symbolism and intention. Sugar to make the prayers sweet, underneath a bed of heart shaped leaves that connect with the four directions. Salt to honor the tears of our ancestors, nuts to nourish the spirits in the afterlife, and seeds for our new becoming. I put in bee pollen to honor the insects who make all life possible, and figs and berries in gratitude for the abundance of the season. A seashell to honor the sacred feminine and two fish to honor the yin and yang forces. cocoa powder, lavender and rosemary for protection and healing. And lots of flowers to honor Pachamama and to receive the prayers and blessings from the many who sent me messages. Small ceremonies can create profound shifts, especially when done with love and intention.
