WORLD OF WISDOM & SPIRITUAL ADVENTURE - DEC 2017
A. SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN!
Christmas is coming, it is around the corner and we have been in this period of celebration many times already in our lives! There is a global tradition of decorating the Christmas Tree, hanging socks for Santa to put our presents in and the whole atmosphere of happiness and joy connected also with the birth of Christ! What do all these things have to do with reality?
Here I will explain to you another point of viewing these traditions, which we celebrate each year but in reality don't really know where they come from.
So, according to the ancient shamanic culture of Siberia, The Christmas Tree is the Cosmic Tree that unites the 3 Worlds of Dreams: The underworld, the middle world and the upper world.
Through these worlds, the soul of a human being travels in the different levels of its existence and receives life lessons and experiences!
The period of the end of December was very significant for the ancient people, because it signals the beginning of the rising of the Sun's energy, which in its turn marks the prolongation of the day leading to life-affirmative potential for all!
On the December 21st winter solstice, the sun reaches its furthest southern point, bringing the northern hemisphere its longest night. For 3 days the sun appears not to be moving. On the morning of the 25th, the sun begins its northern ascent once again and it is the moment when the Sun's energy, which gives life to all beings, as well as the energy which manifests our wishes start growing! This is the moment when, since the ancient times, people have celebrated the beginning of the new life, the new year and all the new possibilities in their lives! In shamanic cultures, they would perform rituals around the cosmic Tree or else called the Tree of Life, the same Tree that we use in our modern times during Christmas. They would put in the roots of the trees old things that were broken and not useful anymore, symbolizing the world that is finishing, where all the old and "dead" things go, i.e. the underworld.
In the middle of the tree they would hung ribbons and other objects, like presents for people, which symbolized their presence in the moment of now in a specific place and also their wish to create better relationships with the others around them,which is the meaning of giving presents).
Last, they would decorate the branches of the trees with different creative objects and beautiful decorations that symbolized their wishes for the new period, the new year! As the Sun's energy rose they would ask from their God of the Upper world - God Ulgen in the Siberian Tradition - to grant their wishes at that moment. And that was the right moment for them, because they knew that wishes would be granted when the Sun's energy would be high!
At the top of the Tree they would put the star! Simply because there is a fourth world, the world of the Absolute, symbolized by the stars in the night sky, which are the eyes of God Tengri, the God of Eternity and ruler of all the worlds in the Siberian tradition. The Highest point in the Tree represents the one and only thing in life which is eternal and never changing, the one thing which is beyond the world of dreams and the world of form - The TRUTH!
And then the shaman would perform a ritual to travel to the different worlds and especially communicate with God Tengri and God Ulgen bringing back to the people the messages of the Gods: The Gifts!
The shaman would beat his drum and "ride" his drum' s spirit, which was most of the time the Northern Deer that live in Siberia and are used by the locals in the North as a traditional means of transportation! For the shaman, the drum was the vehicle for his shamanic journey, which he usually experienced as a ride in a carriage moved by the Deer!
Then the shaman saw the God of the upper world as a kind old man with a white beard!
This is the ancient tradition that holds the secrets of celebrating this time of the year and asking Santa Claus to bring us our presents!
We can make such a conscious ritual for ourselves and teach our children how to really celebrate the beautiful days when we reconnect with the "upper world" of our life and soul, where we dream for the new life and the new year and we prepare to become happy again!
The spirit of Christmas is the energy of the upper shamanic world, the world of creativity and enthusiasm from where everything new appears and manifests in our lives but always connected with the eternal star on the top - the spirit of the truth!
In our center we have such ceremonies every year and we welcome you to participate in one of our New Year rituals in different places and cities!
And don't worry if you don't live very close to us! Write us an email and we will help you to create your own ceremony for your family or your friends according to the shamanic ways!
We wish you a great, happy period of regeneration and betterment in all areas of your life!
With Kind Regards!
