The 13 Grandmothers ~ Or Moons....
Each of the Grandmother Moon's
....has wisdom to share. Their teachings are not only about the sacred
feminine, for men too can learn from their light. Each Moon asks you to
consider mentally reviewing the ‘then and
now’ in your life as you assess things with each new Moon cycle. By seeing
where you’ve been in the past and what’s changed as a result of walking
consciously with the Grandmothers you’ll see the value in their lessons. The
focus each Moon... should be on taking the negatives and transmuting things
positively, getting a feel for the truths you’re recognizing and understanding
how to apply them in your daily life.
*February ushers in "Wisdom Keeper" who is the Teacher that brings forth lessons about Honoring the Truth. She teaches us the Arts of Self-development and Expansion. Through her we learn how to access Mother Earth’s Memory, enhance our personal recall, tapping into ancient wisdom and knowledge. In this way we come to understand the wisdom that every life form holds as well as their missions. We learn how to be a friend and to restore friendship by honoring the viewpoints of all life forms through honoring the truth. Wisdom Keeper reminds us that all history is kept in the libraries of the Stone People and that to access that history, we must learn to hear their voices for they record the Remembering for the Earth Mother.
She helps us see that to honor the truth of all that has been, we must tap more than human awareness, cultural traditions or stories. The history of all that has happened on our planet is forged in stone so it’s in the body of the Earth Mother we are presented with tangible records. She also shows us how to honor the truth as it is seen from each person's Sacred Point of View because all individuals experience life's events in a different manner. Here, by honoring our own truths we honor our own sense of self-development and learn to allow others to do the same. Every new understanding of the truths that others carry adds to our personal knowledge base, and our experiences bring us wisdom. This further creates the development of a right relationship to All Our Relations within ourselves.
Look for the book "The 13 Original Clan Mothers" by Jamie Sams... it is a very good read!!! Or... scroll though our "Two Moons Talking" show archives.

By Zak HansenLas Cruces Bulletin
Some people know what they want to be from a very young age.
Others never seem to find their place in the world, waiting and wandering their whole lives, while still others find a calling only after years of searching.
For Yolanda Martinez, drummaker and musician, it struck like a bolt out of the blue.
“The gift of the drum came in 1987. It was a calling I simply could not ignore,” she said.
To hear Martinez – who sings, chants, plays a variety of instruments, makes drums and even paints – describe her beginnings as a drummaker, what’s clear is that she is driven by a passion that many only hope to find in their lifetimes.
Martinez, who is one of three artists to be honored during February’s For the Love of Art Month show at the Las Cruces Convention Center Friday and Saturday, Feb. 15-16, will be giving two performances that weekend, at 4 p.m. Feb. 15, and 3:45 p.m. Feb. 16.
Martinez was born in Carlsbad and traveled all over the world before coming to Las Cruces in 1999. She has spent her life following her callings, whatever they present themselves to be.
In 1986, though, after several years in the title and escrow business, Martinez said she received a message from Spirit to make drums, and, the following year, she made her first.
“I didn’t realize the drum was going to be such a huge part of my journey and a huge part of what I was to become,” she said.
Martinez’s journey has taken her not only all over the country, but also all over the world, holding drummaking workshops across Europe, including an upcoming jaunt to Norway and Ireland, among other places.
While drumming is Martinez’s calling, her music is just as important – and well received.
“The drum came first,” she said, “and that’s what led me to take music seriously.”
In 1993, Martinez made her first recording, “ResoundingSpirituality,” and has since released 13 albums of her own music and chanting, including three albums in 2012 alone, “Awakening,” “Amazing Grace/Sublime Grazia” and “Songs of Joy,” a collection of Christmas-themed tracks.
Martinez is also the recipient of four nominations and three NAMMY awards, the prize given to winners in the Native American music category at the Grammy Awards.
She took home top honors in 2004, receiving the award for Best Female Artist for her album “Native Heartbeat,” and shared honors with other Native American musicians in two separate wins for collective works.
This journey is extremely important to Martinez, and through life experiences is where she finds her inspiration.
“We have to live, to experience, to find our niche,” she said. “We have to look for it, work for it, ask for it and then it will come.
“It’s all I’ve ever asked for since I was a child, and you have to work for it to prove to Spirit you really want it, that you’re willing to do what it takes to pursue.”
Martinez speaks a lot about Spirit and how important it’s been to her life journey. Another word you’ll hear her say often is “passion,” and that’s one thing she has in no short supply.
“When we follow our passion,” she said, “our creativity keeps flowing because we’re following and doing what we love. Following my passion is what keeps me going … and going and going.
“But these batteries are still going strong,” she said with a laugh, conjuring visions of a certain drumming rabbit that never seems to tire of his performance – not an ill-fitting image at all.
Las Cruces artisan Yolanda Martinez plays a homemade drum at her home in the foothills of the Organ Mountains that she said she loves so much.
