« The pyramid of Tula is the center of order and stability. Those figures are its four corners; they are the four winds, the four directions. They are the foundation, the basis of the pyramid. »

« The female warriors are called the four directions, the four cor­ners of a square, the four moods, the four winds, the four different female personalities that exist in the human race.
The first is the east. She is called order. She is optimistic, light-hearted, smooth, persistent like a steady breeze.
The second is the north. She is called strength. She is resourceful, blunt, direct, tenacious like a hard wind.
The third is the west. She is called feeling. She is introspective, remorseful, cunning, sly, like a cold gust of wind.
The fourth is the south. She is called growth, She is nurturing, loud, shy, warm, like a hot wind. »

Carlos Castaneda – The Eagle’s Gift

The four winds will be blowing this November at Cayla. They will open the doors of perception so that we can look at the accomplishments of our energy body.

In the ordinary world success is measured by the money on our bank account or our social status. In the sorcerer’s world success is measured by the storms we ridded and what we have learned from our journey.

As Carlos Castaneda wrote in the Wheel of Time : « Shamanism is a journey of return. A warrior returns victorious to the spirit, having descended into hell. And from hell he brings trophies. Understanding is one of his trophies. »

During the time of the Day of the Dead, and with the help of the 4 winds, we will look back at our life experiences, we will look at all the storms we went thru in the 4 directions of our lives.

On the East stands the rising sun and our relationship to the masculine energy.
On the West stands the setting sun and our relationship to the feminine energy.
On the South stands the highest sun and our spiritual will
On the North is the darkness and the long line of our ancestors, all the people and stories that came before us.

We will share our stories with each others and celebrate life, community and Spirit around the fire.

We will also have the possibility to attend a sweat lodge in order to prepare for the inner process of recapitulation.

We will make music in order to celebrate and feel the pulse and the support of the Earth.

We will share food, fire and a hike into the beautiful landscapes of the Herault mountains.

So that we can leave this celebration holding our true successes in our hearts, in a clearer, more conscious way, and so that they can pave the way for more of them to come and make our lives stronger and closer to who we really are, to our essence and to Spirit.
