In ancient Mesoamerica (particularly in Maya and Classic Veracruz cultures), an hacha (Spanish for "axe") was a critical piece of ceremonial gear associated with the Mesoamerican ballgame. While lightweight wooden versions were likely worn on the players' heavy belts during active matches, these highly detailed stone replicas were carved for ritual displays, architectural integration, or dedication ceremonies.

The Genelle experience shook me.
I’m still a little shocked. I feel a tremendous connection to this woman.

We will repeat the revelations,
because Genelle has the potential to lead many many people back to God.

The Yup’ik people (plural Yupiit) are a group of Indigenous peoples native to western, southwestern, and south-central Alaska, as well as parts of the Russian Far East. Derived from the words yuk ("person") and pik ("real"), the name translates to the "real people". They form the largest single Alaska Native group.
A traditional Yup'ik carved wooden dance or shaman's mask from Southwestern Alaska, featuring characteristic attached limb-like appendages and dual-pigment coloring.
Often incorporates symbolic appendages (such as arms, legs, or feathers) representing spirits (Yua) or transformation narratives in ceremonial dances.
Traditionally carved from local woods like spruce or cottonwood and finished with natural pigments.

Your beliefs are the main source of suffering. #spirituality #awakening #freedom #belief #trust

Regain your freedom by realizing you are the ultimate authority in your life. Whatever you believe based on someone else’s authority is a blind spot for you. You decide what’s true for you, don’t give that responsibility away #spirituality #awakening #freedom #free #belief
