Winter solstice this weekend was a beautiful community day. Many vendors and collaborators sharing joy and togetherness. There was food to break fasts together, local grown, family style . Well share highlights on cuisine this week going into next quarter moon- dishes will be highlighted, aromas shared, flavours ranging. We saw many community collaborators there, highlights and praising credit. There was a strong sense of people gracefully finding and appreciating one another.

The significance of this day
Day Atl (Water, known as Muluc in Maya) is governed by Xiuhtecuhtli, God of Fire, as its provider of tonalli (Shadow Soul) life energy. Atl is a day for purification by subjecting oneself to the ordeal of conflict. It is a good day for battle, a bad day for rest. Water brings out the scorpion, who must sting its enemies or else sting itself. Atl is the day of the holy war, which is always a battle with one’s own enemies within.
The thirteen day period (trecena) that starts with day 1-Ehecatl (Wind) is ruled by Chantico. The 13 days of this trecena are governed by the elemental intent of the divine Whirlwind: to create chaos out of order. Order and reason outlive their purpose and must be replaced by the potential for new, unexpected, unpredictable, change. It is precisely in the heart of order that the lightningbolt strikes. These are 13 days of instability and insecurity. The warrior prefers to have no relationships if the only alternative is to have bad relationships: thievery abounds and no treasure of the heart is safe. These are good days to be in the vanguard; bad days to be encamped behind the front.
