The Wisdom of Death: The Kame Trecena
Death is the transformation of energy. The physical body dies and decomposes, but consciousness goes on in some way, shape, or form. As such, death shouldn’t be viewed as scary, sad or abnormal. Although it is natural and perhaps even beautiful, modern society largely sweeps death under the rug and develops phobias around it.
Kame represents death, rebirth and transformation and it’s connection to the ancestors. It is considered an auspicious and positive energy. The energy of Kame encourages us to hold our loved ones on the other side of the veil in our hearts and memories and to let go of our grief.
Its animal totem is the owl, its color is white and its direction is north, according to the Kiche Maya of the Guatemala highlands.
The Kame trecena calls upon us to face our fears with intention. The 13-day trecena of Kame begins on Thursday, February 8. Here are the energies of each day for the next two weeks:
