Ceremony of 8,000 Sacred Drums
March 17, 2008
This week the Ceremony of 8,000 Sacred Drums happens in Mexico and around the world.
The Otomi people, who are descendants of the Mayan, Olmec and Toltecs of Mexico, have prophesized the healing of Mother Earth will begin when 8,000 sacred drums are played together. This inscription was found in a cave within an Otomi sacred ceremonial site. In 2004 The first modern ceremony was held in 2004 and the prophecy of healing began, and will continue every Spring Solstice until 2012.
According to a Prophecy revealed by the Otomi Elder Sages to the Indigenous Peoples and all Humankind from a Vision of our VenerableAncestors, the day when the Sounds of Eight Thousand Sacred Drums join together will be the beginning of the true Healing of Mother Earth, of All the Species and of the Human Family – which is now in total disequilibrium – in order to be able to live together on the road to Sacred Peace, in harmonious union with the Universe, Mother Nature, the Community, the Family and our own Hearts. It is time to re-unify ourselves and rediscover for ourselves all the Seeds of the Four Directions in order to reactivate cosmic energy, heal historical wounds and heal our Mother Earth by respecting life and the liberty and dignity of our Peoples.
