Overview of Offering / Toj: water, blood, sacrifice, atonement, payment
Maya belief is that we are innately indebted to three things: Mother Earth, our teachers and our ancestors. This day is intended for making offerings in payment of our debts to them for the wisdom they give us. It is a powerful day for fire ceremonies and asking for protection. Offering people often feel overly responsible for karma that is not theirs and lead a challenging life, but Offering people have an opportunity to deeply understand the true nature of the great cycle and the purpose of life itself. To feel supported and aligned, Offering people need to be near water and in ceremony.
