Maya Takvimine göre 13 günlük Kamış dönemi, hasadı, yeniden doğumu bunun için bırakacaklarımızı, toprağa akacakları, bizi göğe bağlayacakları getiriyor peşi sıra.
It is the “Cane”, the corn stalk that the heroic twins sew as a symbol of what they have accomplished and failed while embarking on their underground journey. This cornstalk is planted in Grandma’s hearth and carries a message of victory whether the corn grows and defeat if it dries.
Just like the fire in our ancestral hearth that catches fire or extinguishes.
And indeed, after the underground journey in which the heroes returned victoriously, Cane begins to represent the “resurrection”.
This period comes with our awareness of our hearth, what is cooking in your herth, how is the blessing of your herth, how is the flow from the ancestors, where I have risen again even though I have bent over backwards, what does the power of resurrection give me?
Of course, while the Cane represents the flow in the unity of up and down, it also tells us to hold on, just let it pass through it, just take it and let it breathe and let go, don’t hold on to anything, don’t hold anything, don’t add anything on top of it…
In Western Astrology, this whole transition coincides with the Virgo influence. This adjoining fills my heart. On August 1, we celebrated the harvest, celebrating on behalf of what Mother Nature has offered us. The harvest was when we reaped what we sowed, and now Virgo comes with the service and discipline it presents us. It holds its scales in one hand, weighs the balance of what we sow and reap, and offers their blessing with the corn cob in the other. Your land now reminds us of how you can honor it. The earth, our home, our earthen body, just as the cane points to our hearth, our home, it questions; and it questions our care for our soil, our body and our home for what we will plant in Virgo.
The more masculine the Cane is, Virgo is that more feminine. However, we can see the union of the two in ancient texts, especially in the Alchemy texts, we know that the Mercury Snake is sometimes called “Virgo”. In myths, it is none other than Melusina herself, who lives in feminine waters, and mercury is none other than Mercurius. One takes on the representation of feminine wisdom while the other wears the archetype of the Wise Old Man. Just like the Cane and Virgo unit. Jung explained this formation as follows: “They can be the cause of storms, they can change their shapes, they can cure diseases that cannot be cured, and they know the future.“
(Works 13:218)
I know that Mayan lovers will find many traces of the Cane in this interpretation of Jung. For this reason, the Straw period brings these effects behind it.
Let there be a period when our furnace fire is always lit.
