So, today we would like to share with you a small overview of our cosmovision, our view of the world that underlies our culture and our weaving.
“We are part of the earth, there is only one unity. That makes us be, live, share, communicate, and commune with her, as living beings, creators, and re-creators of life.”
“In Maya thinking, water, the sun, the earth, fire, air, and all the elements of nature are diverse manifestations that are the daily confirmation that the cosmos is a living and sacred being.”
“We believe that no species is superior to another. We are complementary elements, although different from each other; we are all linked in a network, like a spider’s web interwoven with relationships and interactions that are interdependent and complementary.”
“I am you and you are me.”
The photo below is a painting by Ely Lopez, a Maya spiritual guide who is a member of Grupo Cajola and who works with us from time to time to understand the meanings behind some of our symbols. We weave the symbols but sadly, don’t always remember what they mean.
