The Toltecs
What made it possible for the Toltecs to achieve their unparalleled greatness? A figure exists who, since he is inextricably linked with Toltec life, may give us a clue. This is Quetzalc atl. His historical reality seems to be established without doubt, since his qualities as leader are many times mentioned. Toltec Wisdom
Quetzalc atl may be viewed as a metaphysical concept and spiritual icon as the feathered serpent symbolizing the union of opposites, the core of Toltec spirituality. Toltec spirituality and wisdom was anchored in shamanism. It was based on shamanic experiences. The Toltecs developed an enhanced state of awareness of this world and the Otherworld. They knew that sacred experiences did not occur in a building but out under the sky firmly rooted on the earth. Nature was their teacher and guide. Nature is animated, inspired, and charged with sacred energy.
Quetzalc atl - The Returning Hero
The returning hero was known as Quetzalc atl- the Morning Star, the Feathered Serpent. This imagery and knowledge reveal the blending or merging of spirit (feathers) and matter (serpent). Furthermore, there is vibrational magic within the name Quetzalc atl, the Lord of the Four Winds. Each of the returning heroes were always connected or named as the Morning Star. The returning hero was always associated with the planet Venus- the dawn star that follows the path of the sun and is symbolic of enlightenment. For centuries our ancestors have associated Venus with the culture hero, the bringer of peace and tranquility to a cycle previously dominated by chaos.
The Four Winds: Quetzalc atl's Toltec Sacred Roads Pathway.
Join Dr. Husfelt as he guides you on a quest through the Four Winds to awaken as an Hombre-Dios/Mujera-Dios. Quetzalc atl's Toltec Sacred Roads Pathway is anchored in the transformational ability to "let go" or detach from the emotional and mental "enemies" such as stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, doubt, guilt, anger and fear. It is a journey to awaken our "light body." The pathway is a mandala where a journey is undertaken to awaken vision and to discover and embrace the divine spark within, to reestablish a connection with nature and the mysteries of this world and the Otherworld, and to become a "person of power"- a Quetzalc atl.
