Dear Friends,

I promised to share some stories about my recent journey to Mexico. It’s taken me a little while, but here it is at last!

This trip was my second one to the Yucatan Peninsula, the home of the Mayan people. It was in the Yucatan in December 2006, that I met my first crystal skull – a meeting that you could say, changed my life. (2006 story)

In March-April this year, following a two-day Crystal Skull conference in Merida, our group of thirty travelled through some of the most important Mayan Temple sites, led by Mayan expert, shaman and spiritual guide, Miguel Angel Vergara and Mayan teacher Erik Solis. Myself and two other very experienced skull caretakers – Star Johnsen Moser and ShavatY - carried our skulls with us, as did of many of the participants who are also skull caretakers. Our intention for this journey was to help to reactivate the Crystal Skull consciousness in the Mayan temples and within ourselves, through sacred ceremony.

I felt very confident that on this particular trip, we were going to be in very good hands. Both Miguel Angel and tour organizer Trudy Woodcock had been an integral part of the 2006 tour I’d been part of, so there was every reason to expect a very special experience. We were not disappointed!

The chosen group of presenters was a global mix as were the participants. Michel Angel and Eric Solis from Mexico, Star Johnsen from the US, ShavatY from Europe, Richard Jelusich from Canada and myself from Australia, formed the masthead of an International group that included people from the US, Canada, Holland, the UK, Brazil, Trinidad and Australia. And I think it’s safe to say that what took place during both the conference and the two-week Journey of Hope, enriched the lives of every single one of those participants, in a most profound way. This large international group bonded so powerfully, that plans are already underway to reunite in the Yucatan next year, to continue the important work begun on this trip.

I arrived in Merida with a sense of great excitement and anticipation, laced with a flutter of nervousness! I do not consider myself an expert on the Crystal Skulls, so to be invited to present at this conference felt like quite a responsibility. I’ve been powerfully and intuitively led into a journey with the Crystal Skulls - a journey that seems to be accelerating by the day. I’ve come to believe that these Crystal Beings are a vitally important part of the shift that humanity is currently undergoing. The more I allow myself to trust, and follow my intuition, the more the Skulls seem to lead me to places, people and experiences I could not possibly have imagined, four years ago.

The conference in Merida was a wonderful way to start our journey. It was a time for us to get to know each other; to meet fellow skull caretakers and their skulls; to exchange information and open up to the energies of the land of the Maya, which has been linked to the skulls for thousands of years.

It’s amazing how quickly like-minded people can become ‘family’! After just two days, it was sad to part from those who were unable to join us on the ‘Journey of Hope’. Goodbyes we reluctantly made, amidst promises to connect again sometime soon.

Our first temple ceremony took place at Ake. Although it was March 21st - the day of the Solstice - it had been decided that Ake, rather than the more obvious Chichen Itza, would be a much better place for our first Temple ceremony. Being Easter weekend as well as the Solstice, Chichen Itza would be crammed with hundreds of people and be log-jammed with tour buses.

What a wonderful decision….Ake is not a major tourist venue so we had the place almost entirely to ourselves. This is a simple site when compared with many of the elaborate pyramid structures of other Mayan temple sites. Simple but very powerful - the energies in Ake have a purity of essence that was reflected in my own personal and quite dramatic experience of the place.

We set up our skull altar directly in front of the main temple with it’s beautiful towering, symmetrical columns.

As we stood in a circle around the skulls, each person was cleansed with fragrant copal incense as Michel Angel called on the Guardians of the Temple and the Four Directions, for permission and blessings for the group.

The purpose of our first temple activation ceremony was to awaken the sacred knowledge and send out a vibration of love and wisdom around the world – a message of Love, Hope, and Peace for the healing of our planet and humankind.

Our ceremony complete, each of us was given corn and seeds so that we could make personal offerings, wherever we saw fit. I felt a strong pull toward the long path that lead directly from the main temple, to a large ‘Stela’ standing in the distance in front of another pyramid. Initially, I thought that I was heading toward the pyramid but as I walked, singing (channeling) to the land as I moved, the large skull headed crystal wand in my hand, directed me specifically off the pathway.

As ‘my work’ progressed, I found myself moving backwards toward the pathway again. Then suddenly, I came crashing to the ground – corn, seeds and wand flying out of my hands! When the initial shock and pain subsided and I began to pick myself up, I realized my fall had been caused by a very large circular stone, situated about midway between the main temple and the Stela. There, lying beside it, was my beautiful wand, shattered into four pieces. Although relatively new to me, this skull wand had become a very personal and precious ceremonial tool. I’d acquired it at the World Mysteries Conference in Arizona last year, directly from its carver, world-renowned skull carver Leandro De Souza.

I found myself repeatedly saying to myself, ‘Why has this happened, why has this happened?” as somehow, I felt that this was no ‘accident’. I picked up the four pieces and was led to do ceremony firstly on the rock I’d fallen over – I felt its connection to a very powerful energy below it, deep down in the earth - and then at the Stela beyond. This Stela had what looked like ‘blow holes’ in one side. As I left it, after singing into these holes, I was moved to place a piece of my broken wand inside one of them, as a gift.

Unbeknownst to me, another member of the group had been a witness to my personal ceremony at the Stela. As I finished she said ‘Lia, have a look at the Stela again….it’s not just a Stela…” I turned to look at it with a gasp of realization – on one side this Stela was quite definitely the shape of a skull! Not only that, it was almost identical to the shape of the skull head on my broken wand which interestingly, had broken off - decapitated - to form a perfect ‘new’ skull.

For me, this event on the first day of our tour indicated the significance of the journey we were embarking upon. Read Lia's full Mexico adventure here.....

Shift of the Ages



The Shift of the Ages film shares the Mayan Cosmo-Vision and Prophecy through the wisdom and teachings of Grandfather Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, also known as Wandering Wolf, Grand Elder of the living Maya.

The National Mayan Council of Indigenous Elders in Guatemala has an important message for the world. Their leader, Grandfather Cirilo, the protagonist of the Shift of the Ages film, discloses previously unavailable visions, concepts and ancient prophecies. Many people know that a grand cycle of the famous Mayan Long Count Calendar ends in the 2011-2012 time frame, but they may be misinformed about its meaning. The Shift of the Ages film offers a unique transformative experience through Mayan wisdom at a time that this ominous and auspicious “shift” has many people reeling under the load of enormous, unprecedented change.

I hope this finds you all well and happy! And I hope that you have enjoyed reading about my Mayan travels. Perhaps some of you will decide to be part of the Journey of Hope in March 2011 – check the Calendar page of my website for more details coming soon.

Love and Blessings,
Lia
