Mother Earth = Tonantsintlalli is relationality, is the material, is the
immaterial; she feeds us, she nurtures us, she is our everything.
In the wisdom of our ancestors, it is said that when everything
was already lost, we humans, were reborn thanks to the corn that
our Mother Earth made sprout. That is why we come from the
heart of the corn. We are the corn people, sons of the corn. That is
why everything that is found on Mother Earth is of great respect.
We do rituals for the corn, the living beings, and for the sacred
energies that made our existence possible. These energies know
when to provide.
Corn is sacred for us; it was offered so that we could be born
again. In Mexico, we do the corn ceremony, this corn has different
colours responding to this diversity, but understanding that we
are one. Our Mother Earth gives us the opportunity to be born
again by offering. She nourished the soil and gave it fresh water
to grow corn. We are the corn people. Also, we are grateful to
different animals that gave us life, take care of us, guide us, they are our spiritual animals.
