Today has been a very peaceful, very intentional, and very aligned day. I spent the early afternoon in a silent, peaceful state collecting and preparing wood for my fire ceremony this evening, then I had a beautiful shamanic healing session with Julie, the owner of the cabin. I performed a decoupling and an illumination on her, both of which went very well. After that was complete, I created another Ayni Despacho for tonight's ceremony.
This time, I flowed with it and slowed way down. I was more intentional with my prayers and the offerings in building the Despacho. The sun bathed the Despacho in light and love, and this time, it just felt right. I built my fire, and called in the four directions, Pachamama, Father Sky, and the archetypes. I tended it gently, and played my drum until it became friendly, at which point I fed it with olive oil. I placed the entire despacho into the fire. The entire time it burned, I played my drum and chanted- Nitchi Ti Ti, N U Ai, Ora Nika, Ora Nika, Hey hey, Hey hey, O U Ai. I chanted and played and chanted and played until I was almost in a trance. I lost time completely, and yet, I was so aware of everything. Once the fire was done with the despacho, I made offerings of my spirit water into the fire from all four directions, and released the four directions, archetypes, lineage, and guides. I tended the fire until there was only hot embers left. It was a beautiful day, beautiful ceremony, and I am ready for the new moon tomorrow!
