Happy New year!

In the Catholic Church and for the Tzutzeil Maya, Christmas is not finished. Both cultures began Christmas around the dates of December 23 - 25 and will celebrate the new wisdom through January 6th. In the Catholic Church, this is the date of Epiphany...the arrival of the wise men who followed the light of the star, and the celebration of the light moving out into the world. For the T'zuheil Maya, this is the release of the light of wisdom into the world fully. The Jewish people have celebrated Hanakkuk, the feast of light. And there are many, many more cultures which have similar celebrations

For me the universal nature of archetypes are amazing, and they speak truth. We are now moving through the time when wisdom gathers and grows and then is sent out throughout Mother Earth. We are in the time of the return of light.

Wisdom is a powerful force that asks the individual to look at habits and old patterns, and ask if they are still appropriate for this new time. Even in secular society we have a collective consciousness of making "New Years Resolutions". However, it is also recognized in secular society that most new year's resolutions do not last. We need the support and awareness of the voice of Wisdom in order for change to really happen in our lives....no matter the outer pathway.

For myself, this force of wisdom around me means that I will be looking at these old habits and old patterns, just like everyone else. It means that reactivity is only the indication that something is ready to change. How exciting is this! The support is there for me and everyone else to get larger and live in this new light with happiness and joy, gentleness and kindness.

Happy New year to all!
