Ollin - Movement

Ollin with the guardian essence Xolotl, God of lightning, sunset, and the twins. Moon phase ~ Waning Gibbous, Receive. 
Ollin refers to four central ideas; What is near, what is closed,  direction, & dual essence. It is the open hearted movement and in the native tradition of the medicine wheel it refers to movement of the circle. We "receive" this moon phase along this cycle during these times of our lives. It motivates. We keep moving.
Xolotl the god of lightning, and the sun protector during the night. These essences have dark and light connotations ever reminding us to bow to both dark and light in reverence. 
The power today is the beloved Huexolotl, Turkey or "ugly monster bird." The essence is stoic, proud and cautious. Those who learn to fly survive. 
The lord of the night, Tlazoteotl - the goddess of filth or the dirt eater. She is the essence of recovery and guide to soul salvation. She partners with those whom have long perilous missions and family contracts that are most difficult. The mother of curandera.
