Every year, Sacred Fire participates in a sacred Prosperity Ritual at Casa Xiuhtecuhtli in Tepoztlán, Morelos.
In Spring, along with others, we plant corn in a ceremonial way to petition the Gods, the Weather Beings, and the local spirits to support a humble petition for the organization’s abundance and prosperity. In this way, we sow spiritual seeds so that we might receive what we need to expand our efforts to feed people everywhere the fire, heart, and connection they need to live joyful, fulfilling lives.
Our work is spiritual work, and for this reason, we need spiritual help to complete our mission. Now that Fall has arrived, we will harvest what we sowed in Spring, during the December full moon on Saturday the 18th. Everyone is invited to engage in the ritual with us. Without your participation, we may not receive the bountiful abundance we need to continue our work in the world.
No matter where you live, you can be part of this important ritual. You can support our efforts with donations—providing the seeds of prosperity, by volunteering—helping us help the seeds manifest prosperous growth in the world, by connecting— witnessing the ritual’s progressive unfolding on the Friends of the Prosperity Ritual Facebook group, and by joining us at the ceremony December 18th in Tepoztlán.
