Meztli Kualo- Cosmic Change & the Lunar Eclipse on the Pisces-Virgo Axis
Welcome to the third episode of the Offerings of Copal podcast. In this episode, we explore the recent lunar eclipse from both Western astrological and Anahuak ancestral perspectives. Our journey begins with the Maya and their recordings of eclipses in the Dresden Codex, viewing these events as sacred moments of transformation.

These beings are connected to significant life changes and feminine spirits, bringing much-needed transformations.
