What is your spirit animal?

Since we just celebrated Halloween, All Saints Day and All Souls Day, it seems like a good time to talk about Maya “way” or Mexican Nauals. These are spirit animals that dance in the underworld. The Maya believed their King had an animal essence that would roam the earth while he slept.

Dance until Dawn

Cheryl is a ballroom dancer who has taken many lessons in the past, and in Entering the West  she returns to the studio.

Dance is also very important to the Indigenous people of the Americas, past and present, from the prairie nations and their secret societies to the Maya whose Kings danced at ceremonies of accession and religious meaning.

The  Mexican site Palenque has many stucco figures adorning its temples; including this one of the King Pakal dancing which you can find on the Palace.
