1 Kawoq – The First Raindrops

Today, 1 Kawoq invites us to witness the storm brewing and starting, allow the rain to cleanse us, and cultivate patience and harmony. We are beginning a new 13-day trecena of birth, rebirth, and the fierce feminine energy that brings new life into being.


The Kawoq Trecena

The Kawoq trecena is a 13-day journey through rainstorms, birth, and the divine feminine. Kawoq represents the birthing process and midwives. It brings a compassionate, loving, wise, and fierce energy that cares about family and community. Like Grandmother Turtle, Kawoq teaches us to develop the patience and grace essential for moving through turbulent times in our lives.

The coming two weeks may bring a sense of inner turbulence that can feel like a tornado moving through your life, but eventually, the storm brings healing and soothes the soul. Kawoq is connected with the ancient wisdom of the divine feminine. These 13 days call upon us to connect with our own feminine energy as well as the force of nature that supports new life and new ideas to be birthed.

What new project, creation, or initiative is asking to be born through you? What is the storm ready to wash away so that something new can emerge?


Guided Meditation for 1 Kawoq

Close your eyes and feel the first drops of rain beginning to fall. You sense the coming storm in the air. The electricity, tension, and promise of release. Feel the rain begin to wash over you. Feel what’s ready to be cleansed, let go, and carried away by the water. Something new is being born. Breathe into your belly. Feel the seed of new life waiting there. The rain will nourish it. The storm will clear space for it. The cleansing has begun.


First Drops

Plop
Fat raindrops
plopping
on the lake
surface

Today holds the potential of the rain
the verdant green that will burst forth
the yellow and orange flowers
But it’s only just beginning
slowly, patiently

Today holds the seed wisdom of
Grandmother Turtle
No rush, no hurry
Walk with mindful steps
Walk with peace and patience
