This was followed immediately by the water purification ceremony.
Despues de la ceremonia de purificacion a oraciones el tabaco fue fumado de forma ceremonial.
After the purification of prayers the tobacco was ceremonially smoked.
Los cantos sagrados del Circulo Caney sonaron en la noche y despues una de las mujeres del grupo sirvio de representante de la madre cosmica, AtaBey, en la ceremonia de la doble luz de la luna llena, recitando la oracion de las palabras sagradas.
The sacred chants of the Caney Circle rang out in the night and later one of the women of the group served to represent the cosmic mother, AtaBey, in the full moon double light ceremony, reciting the prayer of the sacred words.
Esta fue una muy grata experiencia para mi, el poder compartir rituales ancestrales con mis queridos parientes tainos de Lancaster. Seneko Kakona a todos ellos.
It was for me a blessing to be able to share ancestral ritual with my dear Taino relatives of Lancaster. Seneko Kakona.

Behike Toa Kao...You took a well-deserved break....You are one of the most active members of our Caney Circle behike corps...you have no need to ask for forgiveness. That is why I felt that you were ready to receive your behike necklace... the people admire your dedication and hard work. I admire it also and I see in you a wonderful example of what a behike ought to be. I will look forward to more of your posts here in this network as you evolve in your mission as holy woman and I see wonderful things for us in yourregion because of what you and your people are doing. SENEKO KAKONA!
