Learn about your healing traditions

It's been a wonderful three days of learning about my Mexican roots and traditions from pre conquest Mexico. We've been studying the Codex Laud, one of multiple manuscripts that have the history of the indigenous people in Mexico in the central Mexican Valley and south to Oaxaca where I am currently.

We've been studying the Day signs and the 260 day sacred calendar. It's been a beautiful immersion.

We got to be creative and use the same type of paper from a tree called amate that the indigenous people used and this paper is still in production today. We drew our day sign which is the day of your birth. My day sign is 6 Wind. The process is done in steps so there's the pencil drawing the first outline and then you go in order of colors starting with red then the greens and the yellows my particular sign didn't have any blue so red green yellow and black
