A-Y-A-M or Ay-Am or "I AM", this deck is the story of the
Journey of our human soul through spirit and matter. it is
not a tradition tarot in the sense of following the
bombardment of tradition one would expect in the rider-Waite
decks. instead it's more earth centered, or celestially
connected to the earth changes occurring during this end or
beginning of the 26,000 year (25,920 for academics) of the
precession of the equinox.
The 22 Arcana are painted from
the artist Peter Balin, he was born at the foot of a
sacred mountain in New Zealand called Mt. Taranaki where
the Maori natives received prophetic instructions
from a being called Ratana. The Maori have since become
of the most influential native peoples with the most
rights and respect within the Commonwealth as they have
exercised their sovereignty and maintained cultural
practices perhaps better than the natives in North America.
The elders of many native groups including the Maoris
have shared the hidden teachings of the dream of the
planet called the twisted hair elders teachings and this
includes the energy fields of both the planet and the human
energy fields and how to heal using energy work and work
with nature to establish harmony for both the earth and
the person. The HIFT is happening now, the shift in
consciousness about the universe and beings and vast expanses of
extraterrestrial brothers and sisters and start nation people's are
all working in harmony to create the dream for the
planet which will manifest in lightening fast
changes.
Back to the deck. It's not for the unprepared, and yet
it's calling on your psyche to dive deep into who you
are and why you are here, once you open the deck or
book of life, you cannot go back to who you were as it
is a cosmic tool that tunes you into higher
consciousness and will not relent until you look at your
self in the mirror and crack the mirror so you can see
through to what is on the other side, a whole new you,
with new possibilities never imagined before now.
The
bus to Mexico in 1972 from Los Angeles to Mexico was
occupied by Peter Balin a young 20 something who sat next
to an 80 year old researcher of Mayan temples called
Frank Waters who wrote Mexico Mystique this deck was
brought into existence by divine providence when the two
sat next to each other and the young man
was
influenced by the knowledge of maya history of the man
sitting next to him on the three hour trip.
Once in Mexico ,
Guatemala, Belize, the young Peter Balin had a game plan of
what are the most important temple images as he
ventures out to start sketching them.
There is not enough
time to describe the wisdom in the 22 arcana but
Michael Owen has captured the deep work that these cards
tell us in readings and the layouts are a reflection of
our deepest dreams and fears and we can tap the
subscripts anytime for the hidden memories and wisdom to move
through our journey with grace and confidence.
This deck
isn't for everyone, if you are called to it, it will be
a companion for life, like a cat that wanders into
your home and befriends you like a long lost soul mate
and never leaves your side as long as you nourish it
when it asks for some love or kibbles.
we are the ones we have been waiting for - maya saying.
