In days of yore sacrifice was a common artifice employed by man to appeal to the various gods to insure the continued benefits they might bestow. For instance, in Aztec mythology, Cinteotl, the maize god, symbolizing continued fertility and a bountiful harvest,required corn sacrifices.
This God came to me in a dream last night and said,
"There has not been enough sacrifice of the corn, thus, the crops will not bear a rich harvest.Your people must get back to the corn rituals."
I intuitively understood this to mean that we are being warned to get back in tune with the planet, and perhaps the 'old fertily Gods' at a deeper level, to insure a continued rich harvest for the coming years ahead.
Perhaps, this is the God's messages warning us that sacrifice is necessary if we are to survive as a people, and this means that we must do without some niceties of civilization if we are going to continue to be beneficiaries of the rewards they will bestow upon us.
This is not an easy lesson for humans, since we have gotten into the belief that we can now call the tune of the world. The old gods frowned on arrogance and the fall of The Tower of Babel was a good example.
This dream suggests that we must learn to give backto the planet if we are to receive. The real secret implicit in this omen is that to achieve success as a collective species we must organically recycle torestore the balance between humanity and the planet.
Gaia has been good to us, and now we must in turn, be good to her.
This is the message of the Corn God.
Many blessings!Nahu Lanham
