The Mexican Saga: a poetic journey through the 20-count

The Mexican Saga: a poetic journey through the 20-count

On December 21st 2012, the Mayan 'Long Count' calendar cycle will come to an end. A new cycle of time will replace what has gone before.

To some, this means doomsday; to others a new beginning.

To the Nagual, the Toltec energy masters who exist in deep time, the great cycles of time are the very warp and weft of their existence.

Read this poetic narrative and feel the experiential, non-narcotic rush of a four-year-old initiate who grows to become a full-fledged Nagual. In length and heft, The Mexican Saga is written in verse, but reads like a short story, filled with wit, humor, and a sense of the wonder of beings that perceive realms of existence only dimly visible to us.

Prepare for December 21st 2012

The Mexican Saga

1. The Meeting

Draw closer, child, I shall not harm you.

Your mother, I see, wears her back

To you and your worlds.

All well, let her paw through the serapes,

Haggle with old Jesús, whose pots

In his prime were glazed with jaguar piss;

Today, he slaps his clay for the oil-sucking

Gringos, and it hurts like ground glass

When he pisses. Aah—

Pardon me, I speak crudely.

What can you expect from an old indio?

Yet I see behind your fear a shy grin.

You followed Miguel to the jacaranda

To learn you cannot do what
