The Turtle in Mayan Mythology

At the end of my talk The Yucatan Connection to Atlantis and Lemuria Using Cayce Clues and Mythology on Wednesday at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. for the Edgar Cayce Forum, a man came up to me and asked me the significance of the turtle in Mayan Mythology.

I knew the turtle had to be significant to the Maya in some way since I remembered seeing a large turtle made of earth and carved stone in one of the Mayan ruins I visited.

Well, it turns out that when the Maya looked at the constellation of stars we presently call Orion, the Hunter, they saw instead a turtle. It represented the original domestic oven.

Lovely Turn Out at the Edgar Cayce Forum

I feel so happy that so many people came to hear my talk The Yucatan Connection to Atlantis and Lemuria Using Cayce Clues and Mythology at the Edgar Cayce Forum last night. It meant a lot to me that people came out even though it was a wild and stormy night. My feet got soaked walking into Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. because of the rivulets of rainwater! I also felt so happy to see some friends who came to support me. Plus, I feel grateful for the help I received from the A.R.E.’s audio-visual person, Kevin, for his help in setting up my Powerpoint presentation.

The Myth of the Sorcerer Dwarf

I’m excited about speaking at the Edgar Cayce Forum tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E in Virginia Beach, Virginia. My topic is: The Yucatan Connection to Atlantis and Lemuria Using Cayce Clues and Mythology.

The talk tonight will include the description of mythological stories of the ancient Maya that illustrate influences from Atlantis and Lemuria.

Of course, there are many myths associated with the Maya. However, my favorite has to do with this magnificent structure, The Pyramid of the Sorcerer in Uxmal, Yucatan.

This magnificent photograph was taken by my husband, John Chapman. The late afternoon light shows the unusual contours of this pyramid.

I look forward to meeting you tonight. Come to the Edgar Cayce Forum and discover the myths of the ancient Maya and their connection with the Edgar Cayce readings.

The Story of the Maya Sorcerer at the Edgar Cayce Forum Tomorrow

My talk at the Edgar Cayce Forum tomorrow, Wednesday, September 29th, 7:30 p.m., at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia, will also include a snippet of a videotaped interview with a Maya man describing the story told to him by his mother, told to her by her father, about the Sorcerer who built the Pyramid of the Sorcerer in Uxmal, Yucatan, Mexico..

Come to the Edgar Cayce Forum tomorrow night for the The Yucatan Connection to Atlantis and Lemuria Using Cayce Clues and Mythology and hear Santiago Dominguez recount the story of his ancestors.

A Maya Myth Carved into a Mayan Ruin

This east-facing wall on one of the four buildings surrounding the “Nunnery Quadrangle” – it was given this name because Spanish explorers thought the rows of small chambers looked like a nunnery – has a bas relief carving with a character from a Maya myth. The Nunnery Quadrangle is part of the extensive Mayan ruins at Uxmal, Yucatan.

The Yucatan Maya and the Rabbit in the Moon

As I said in my September 15 post, the Maya, when they look at the full moon, do not see a “Man in the Moon” but a “Rabbit in the Moon.”

In the nature photograph of yesterday’s full moon, I’ve taken the liberty to draw the outline of the rabbit to illustrate how it could be that the Maya see a Rabbit in the Moon.

When the Maya, whose ancestors built Chichen Itza and made the 2012 predictions, look at the moon, they see a rabbit.

On Wednesday, September 29th, 2010 at 7:30 p.m. (next week) I will be discussing the ancient Maya mythology of the moon goddess and her companion, the rabbit, at the Edgar Cayce Forum at Edgar Cayce’s A.R.E. in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

My talk is called, The Yucatan Connection to Atlantis and Lemuria Using Cayce Clues and Mythology. Attend the Edgar Cayce Forum on September 29th and see how the myth of the Moon Goddess and the Rabbit illustrate the connection between Yucatan and Lemuria.

Another Full Moon Photo

This digital photograph was taken shortly after the moon rose above the horizon. Although I tried hand-holding the camera, it was obvious that at such a long exposure, I’d need a tripod. But, because the moon and earth are moving, not too long an exposure, which meant that the well-focused image was underexposed and needed some “massaging” in PhotoShop.

It is amazing that the moon is really not that light. Of course, compared to the darkness all around the full moon, it looks very bright. But, it is not compared to daylight.

I love the yellow color of this nature photograph which resulted from the moon being close to the horizon. The color is not altered.

I also love the very distinct images of the moon features which seem to be green. Maybe that’s where they got that saying, “the moon is made of green cheese.” So, maybe it is!

Gorgeous Full Moon Photo

Yesterday I took a fantastic photo of the full moon just in case it was clouded over today. Well, today’s full moon is even better.

Here’s yesterday’s photo. It was the equinox!

Almost Full Moon Sep 21, 2010

OK, I admit, I couldn’t help but put the extra artwork on it. That is the MAN IN THE MOON! Isn’t that the way you see it too?
