The protector of day Xochitl (Flower) and the provider of the Shadow Soul or Tonalli is Xochiquetzal. Xochitl is a day for creating beauty and truth, especially that which speaks to the heart who knows it will one day cease to beat. Xochitl reminds us that life, like the flower, is beautiful but quickly fades. It is a good day for reflection, companionship and poignancy; it is a bad day for repressing deep-seated wishes, desires and passions.

In Youngstown you are not far from us at all. I hope that you can make it to our Equinox ceremony.
here are some directions that may be of help:

I also want to ask you to let others in the Youngstown area know that we exist here in Pittsburgh which is so near to you. We want to extend the hand of friendship to all our hermanos y hermanas in Ohio. If you can tell me of a Latino community center or Boricua store where we can ask permission to post announcements of our Taino events here in Pittsburgh I would really appreciate it.
We will also be happy to travel to Youngstown and hold Taino cremony there if you can suggest a place where these can be held.

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for volunteering to perform the role of our sacred mother Ata bey at our Equinox Ceremony this past Sunday. You trully honored us and brought a fresh new energy to our circle that we really needed.
Please contact David and express to him my sincerest gratitude for his participation and the participation of the others who were present. May Yaya bless you all.

I am inspired and humbled by your words. It is my sincere hope that I may communicate further with Dave as well as you, and that my family can continue to interact with yours so that we may continue to build this Taino community here in this corner of the world.
The e-mail address that I used to communicate with Dave did not work. I must have copied it incorrectly. Please send me the correct e-mail for him.

Welcome, I lived in Youngstown in the 70s. Many of ex-husband's family are still there and they are from the Caguas/Aguas Buenas region as well. My father's family is from Comerio/Aguas Buenas (last names Arriaga, Diaz, Gomez and Robles) The world is quite small!
Thanks for the tip on getting through to Dave.
It's such a coincidence that you participate in prison mnistry because Susan Ferraro, the blond woman that joined us at the ceremony this past Sunday also serves Native American inmates in the state correctional system here in Pennsylvania. She is actively co-ordinating an effort to get me permission to also go into the system so that I can minister to our Taino brothers in the prisons. You and her would have found something in common. I believe that she is a member of this network. Maybe you can drop her a line.

Thank you for the invite. Of course I am not worthy :) I like this site. Blessings to all for the upcomming ceremonies in Mill Creek Park, Youngstown, Ohio June 20th. Sorry that I will not be there.
I was born in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. We moved to the states when I was three years old. I now live in Florida and I am an artist working on a series of oil and acrylic paintings of the Taino people spiritual bond with nature. One of the paintings is a 30x40 gallery canvas. I am creating Mother Earth and many other believes of the Taino stories. I have read many articles and I am passionate to proceed with this series. My love for the Arts started in Bronx, New york in my early elementary years. The Cultural trips the public school system provided many, many, many years ago gave me the opportunity to see the arts and make it now my only passion. I made several trips to the Metropolitan Museum of Art where I realized at that early age I wanted to be an artist. I just started to put my early work on the internet because my family and friends have asked me to display them. As soon as I have my Taino series finished I will dedicate a website to it. I also hope to visit New York again and show my work in the Bronx where it all started. Tell me a little about who you are and what is your passion in life?
I am so glad you made a connection with Guaraguao Windsong. She is very interested in our ceremonies in ohio and has shown a lot of interest in the beike aspect of our tradition. We may have a beike in Wisconsin in the future. I have invited Mukaro to the Solstice and have offered to pay his way here and his stay. I hope he accepts.
Well sister as you probably figured out I confused Guaragua windsong with Bajacu Brito. Its bajacu who lives in Wisconsin and had demonstrated considerable interest in the ohio solstice ceremony. Guaraguao Windsong lives in New Mexico
Takaji my sisters. I would like to share some thoughts that might make our new members more enthusiastic about participating here. Although I know that you ladies regularly receive notifications of requests from prospective members who would like to join, you know that I usually take care of reviewing these requests and accepting the legitimate ones. However I think that it would be a wonderful treat for these new members to receive a welcome message from all of you in the COUNCIL OF WOMEN, which is the official spiritual administration of this network. Please keep track of the new members of the Indigenous Caribbean Network and approach them with a nice note so that they feel that they truly belong here. You can start with this Jamaican lady JoAnne Richard from Jamaica..... http://indigenouscaribbean.ning.com/profile/JoAnnRichards?xg_source... .....Thank you.
