The Sacred Four Corners
Establishing sacred space by honoring the four directions.
Every ceremony begins by establishing sacred space through acknowledging the four directions, each with its color, deity, and quality. The center, the fifth direction, is where the ritual participant stands, at the meeting point of all cosmic forces.
Call to East, West, North, South, and the Center where you stand - complete the world.
Directional honoring shows how Mayan ritual creates a microcosm of cosmic order.
