Abril Mondragon, Taos Mountain Grandmothers

Abril Mondragon, is a Comanche-Shoshone Mestizo artist of life, who lives the Five Fold Path of Curanderismo (healing arts) of Abya Yala and the Zapotec Dreamseed traditions.

“We will journey into realms of ancestral indigenous feminine wisdom and prophecies, relating to the reality we are living today. Coyote will guide us in remembering how human beings are naturally made, and nourish the star seeds of infinite potentiality within us. Grandmother Ocean will attune us to the magic of living in balance, rhythm and harmony with Earth, Sky, All Life and the human family. Butterfly Woman will open the doorway of inner standing of how past, present, and future Creation stories, ignite the realization and birth of a new paradigm for the  6th Sun – 5th Earth Cycle.“

Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez, Don Patricio Dominguez, Sequoyah Trueblood, Mike Two Bears Andrews and other men went into prayer together and received the ceremonial vision for the Passing of the Staff of Authority to the Feminine side. Part of this vision was for this “new/old ceremony” to go worldwide, to support and nourish the Grandmothers whom are called to the teaching, healing, caregiving of the Wise Ways and Life Ways of the Feminine.

We are grateful for their untiring dedication throughout their lives to prepare and educate the world for the Feminine’s return.

The Vision is inclusive of Grandmothers from All Nations. The Ceremony is now passed to other Grandmothers by the Grandmothers who have have received this Ceremony.

Throughout the last 5125 years, Staffs of the Feminine that were passed with the cultural knowledge and power of the feminine were destroyed due to colonization. Many Wumyn have re-created other types of Staffs. May these Staff’s of Authority be nourished once again and be passed from generation to generation through the matrilineal birth-lines.
