The celebration:
This mother's day I celebrate
my web of creation.
Woman, Mother,
Weaver of energy
World of love.
I am spinning,
awe, tiredness, wonder, shock.
Instinct, mind,
body and awareness
Maia is the new,
all life is nourished
most of all my own...
The Mythology
Ixchel was worshipped by the Maya of the Yucatan peninsula on Cozumel, her sacred island. The Moon/ Snake Goddess, she helps fertility by holding her sacred womb jar upside down so that the waters of creation can be ever flowing. Ixchel also presides over weaving, magic, health, and healing, sexuality, water, and childbirth. The dragonfly is her special animal. When she was almost killed by her grandfather for becoming the Sun's lover, the dragonfly sang over her until she was well.
Ixchel has woven herself into my life and is the ultimate expression of my creativity: my beautiful daughter. I am forever grateful for this. For creativity, for nurturing, for joy, for vitality, for healing.
I never knew it... but children are our birthright and our life blood;
They make us healthy, happy and whole.
This mother's day I celebrate giving birth and becoming a true mamacita!
Happy mother's day to all!
