 Espejo de la Tierra                   Earth Mirror 

The day will come
when
the shards of rubble,
will be swept away;
the remains
of loved ones will be carefully laid to rest in places
at that moment where
worlds that were
will also be
no more, and
new world’s
Discovery brought us all a shudder of horror
to have lost they who through knowing them,
being
with them and of them,
made us
human.

The day that comes,
comes for us all.
The coldest winds before that dawn,
the shards of humans being inhuman
to each other and themselves, look for the broken places in our
mind
and heart,
look to wounds searching for caves of fear, far beyond the chasing
conscience of the One:

At that moment shall appear,
When the ground is finally clear,
A shining dust
A mirror of earth, and she will speak again.
“What have you done to my children?”
And foundations of Heaven’s Earth, respond -
In justice of war gods unbound.

CHACANA: Tenamaztle of the Cosmos

La Chacana

Chakana Cross

TENAMAZTLE OF THE COSMOS

Three Steps

Emergence – Presence - Return

The three steps represent levels of attainment of consciousness in the three 'worlds' or tiers:

 * Hanan Pacha: the upper world of the stars, celestial beings and gods (also represented by the condor)

 * Kay Pacha: the middle world of Mother Earth and human life (also represented by the puma)

* Uqhu Pacha: the lower world of the underworld and death (also represented by the snake)

Central hole

The central hole represents the Incan capital of Cusco, the portal from one tier to the next, and the Eye of God.

Twelve points

The entire symbol additionally represents the cyclical year, with each of the twelve corners corresponding to a month.

Four arms

The four 'cross' arms represent:

    * the four directions of the compass,

    * the four 'classical elements' of earth, air, water and fire,

    * the four main stars of the Southern Cross, an important constellation for the Inca, who believed that was the centre of the Universe.
