Los Aluxes: Mysterious Mini-Creatures of the Forest

Are there such entities as inter-demensional beings? Is there a way to interact with them? Do they have special abilities and perhaps an important role in the lives of us humans? Many Mayan people have heard of or claim to have seen certain magical creatures that rule the forest and farmlands, known as Los Aluxes.  They are often compared to Leprechauns, perhaps because of their small stature and clever, if not mischievous ways. They are rarely seen and very playful.

There are offerings made to them in hopes that they will not cause harm like sickness in people, especially children, and the milpa where all the food is grown.  Our friend, Edgar Peraza Chan, is the curator of X-Kansil (place of learning) Botanical Gardens in Acanceh, Yucatan and a J-Meen (traditional holistic doctor) who first brought my attention to the existence of Los Aluxes. There in the garden of 300 cataloged  medicinal plants is also a plaque dedicated to the story of the Alux.

They only come out at night and "sprout in the light of the moon." Los Aluxes demand respect and sweets. If they do not get what they want there may be problems for the people that inhabit the land where they also live by night. It is especially bad to think of them as a menace or evil. Crops can be destroyed, sickness can ensue, and the illness is both spiritual and physical including fever, etc. They prefer pozol and honey, and apparently they are easily pleased and willing to protect those who provide an offering for them.

I believe I may have witnessed their presence while aboard a night bus heading East toward Cancun's airport from Merida, Yucatan, but I didn't know then about them. Looking out into the bush I saw a softly illuminated large, rectangular area with these bright balls of light bouncing around like crazy. I think it must have been them. So far, I have never heard of them referred to as illuminated beings, but remembering that they are said to be created in moonlight, there is the possibility.

Making an offering to God, the ancestors, and Los Aluxes is perhaps the most important aspect of the job of a Mayan priest, but anyone can make an ernest offering. Being open to these ultimately beneficial entities can have a surprising effect on a connection to such mysterious phenomena.

Mal De Ojo- The Evil Eye

While enjoying an afternoon with my family at our J-Meen’s (Mayan healer) house, Don Luis, who is his son-in-law and protege, walked with me through their medicinal garden describing the uses of all the flora and fauna. There were several plants used to protect against mal de ojo.  I wasn’t sure I understood what the true translation of mal de ojo was. Bad of eye didn’t make sense to me. When I got home I went to my Spanish dictionary. It gave me: jealousy. Then it dawned on me that you could also define mal de ojo as “the evil eye.”

So I began to ponder mal de ojo as a spiritual problem I hadn’t given enough thought to before, but ought to. Physical and psychological  manifestations will result for the jealous type. For instance, studies have been done on a people experiencing jealousy, revealing that it can literally be blinding. Psychologically, someone experiencing a heightened level of jealousy can become consumed with grief, anger, and delusion, not being able to eschew the mental possession. Whether unintentional or not, mal de ojo targets a victim out of jealousy, with dark spiritual energies. Folklore says that it often happens to children, therefore they are given talismans to wear for protection.

Countless cultures around the world warn about the evil eye since antiquity, and talismans and remedies that protect against it.  The Judaic Hamsa (meaning five, thought to represent the five books of Torah) a symmetrical hand with two thumbs on either side and an eye in the middle, is often worn on a bracelet of 40 red knots. There are similar bracelets worn in Mexico called Azabache.  The evil eye is quite feared by many around the world, believing that it can cause terrible luck, sickness, and death. Another amulet used traditionally in Mexico is the ojo del venado or “eye of the deer.” It is a seed that resembles just that, and is known to have aphrodisiac, shamanic, and psychotropic properties since it contains dimethyltryptamine (DMT) as well as other alkaloids. It’s magic is usually reserved for wearing it as protection.

Our J-Meen family knew that we were victims of mal de ojo and that we were surrounded by this type of negative energy. Their way of helping us arrive at spiritual realizations such as this is not direct. It takes much discussion and gentle guiding from a healer to illuminate what the dis-ease is, what it is caused by, and how to ask God and the good spirits for aid. We have had many treatments and prayers to ward off negative energies. We burn copious amounts of copal, and wear stones such as amber, obsidian, and jade to keep evil away and our sacred energies within. The karmic repercussions of giving the evil eye are bound to play out in this small part in the drama of life. Right thought and right action are helpful tools in protecting yourself from this karmic reaction, as well as being a victim of the evil eye. In the new year and new era may God bless us so that we may be able to live out our divine purpose and help others do the same, and protect us from mal de ojo.

“Your pain is not coming from your back. Would you like to come with me to the world of the spirits?”

We are not your average film company company. We believe and live by synchronicity, service, and interdependence. In fact, our name is a Sanskrit word meaning “servant.” By this we mean that we are not in the film business for personal gain, and we know that we would not have had the successes that we have had if we did. Gopyaka Films International is a nonprofit born out of our incredible and humbling life saving experience with our shaman, Don Antonio, an elder Mayan healer from a small pueblo in Yucatan, Mexico. When we chanced upon meeting him and his family, we were in a desperate situation you could say both physically and spiritually. Without a hint as to what we felt we needed treatment for, Don Antonio immediately recognized that my husband was in serious pain and said,

“Your pain is not coming from your back. Would you like to come with me to the world of the spirits?”

Since we are not people that turn away from great wisdom and challenge, Philip (my husband)  accepted.   It was only after a harrowing 14 days of intensive treatment the likes of which could blow anyone’s mind that Philip overcame what he later learned was a life-threatening illness so-called modern medicine wouldn’t have a chance at treating effectively. Through spending a lot of time with our shaman’s family and in Yucatan, where as they say, “Magic is reality,” we were taught the importance of how to not lose sight of our souls in the struggle to live in both this world, or the material world, and the spirit world, with a full heart and divine purpose.

One day while receiving our treatments at their traditional Mayan cottage we asked who the children that were watching Don Antonio work were.  The family told us that they were the neighbors children that were allowed to  visit and watch as their parents were hard at work in town, since they were too poor to buy the uniforms required to attend school. They went on to tell us how many children are unable to attend school because lack of money needed to buy lunch at school, and a simple uniform. Our shaman’s family is fortunate to send their children off to school every day, but they know how difficult it is.  They also told us that it is rare for children to have the opportunity to see their ancient culture at work as these neighbor children had, and they feared that the young people had too little understanding of their roots, increasingly becoming part of the  more spiritually dissociated society.

An idea came over us instantly. My husband has a Master’s Degree in Media, and he’s a candidate for a Master’s Degree in Screenwriting Theory and Practice. We study international cinema. Here we have forged a bond with an amazing family of healers who trusted us to be in their home, even though they have no experience with people not from Yucatan, and changed our lives for the better forevermore. Why not ask this family if they would like to share their ancestral knowledge in a documentary film so that people know what is possible in this world, and by selling our film we will earn the money needed to begin “La Brigada de Los Ninos,” an organization to purchase school uniforms and provide lunch money to children in need, in exchange for that child’s participation once a month cleaning up garbage around their pueblo. Don Antonio said yes, and we quickly began working. 

Our film series entitled, Curanderos: Back To Halacho is still in production/post-production will be a multi-part series focusing on the different modalities that result in healing, including shamanism, music, dance, art, and last but not least, The Rhythmic Arts Project. We recently had the honor of doing a 5 1/2 minute video for a benefit concert for The Rhythmic Arts Project for which we received a standing ovation and many kind words from the host, Edward James Olmos (actor).

Surviving The Spiderweb Prophesy

There has never been a time in history when we have been so obviously at the edge of disaster as a planet and as a people.  The powerless multitudes of the industrialized world fall into acquiescent obscurity as The New World Order is managed by feckless exploiters with the world's resources and the lives of billions in snare. Profit and power rule over piety, and the common human is an often unknowing victim. Big pharmaceutical drugs are making people sick, and The Creator's natural medicine/food can get you put behind bars. There is hope for those that seek the Truth and live righteously, not religiously.

The interpreters of the 5th Sign of the Hopi Prophesy may have been premature when telephone wires were attributed to, "...spiderwebs in the sky." Granted, to the native person born into a world without technological tapestries that dot many corners of the earth like we have today, those miles long wires of black would have been alarming and been one of the signals marking an end of their culture and ways. Those were the days when everything was changing rapidly. Today things are changing rapidly and then some. Our technology is changing rapidly. Our military has grown rapidly. Our environment is changing rapidly. The aerosol spraying program commonly referred to as chemtrails, or the scientific moniker (though there is no public affirmative answer that it exists) Aerosol Climate Engineering, has appeared in nearly every corner of the world. As the sky is sprayed, often in a grid-like pattern, one can't help but think of the Hopi Elder Prophecy of spiderwebs in the sky and realize it is a much more apropos 5th Sign. It is one of the major crimes against humanity on many levels, and there is a connection with chemtrails and other predictions within the prophesy.

"My people await Pahana, the lost White Brother, [from the stars] as do all our brothers in the land. He will not be like the white men we know now, who are cruel and greedy. We were told of their coming long ago. But still we await Pahana.

"He will bring with him the symbols, and the missing piece of that sacred tablet now kept by the elders, given to him when he left, that shall identify him as our True White Brother.

"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This the elders everywhere know.

The "White Brother," or, let's use the term "Light Brother," have shown up at the scene of the Chemtrail Crimes so often, that one could assume that they condemn the program, and possibly have tried numerous times to interfere with the pilots of these aerosol tanker jets. Astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong were met on the surface of the moon by a flotilla of extraterrestrial crafts that made their domination of space understood.  Rather than lie about his experience, Neil Armstrong spent many years in isolation after his experiences. There are military accounts at nuclear missile sites that tell of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon shutting down the entire apparatus, restoring power hours later. In essence, the ancestors, or aliens, or Light Sisters/Brothers must be here to help after leaving us to our own devices for so long. They must share some of the same concerns as we, the people that are awake and aware share. They have been warning us for a long time.

Many ancient cultures around the world share similarities in prophesies. It is clear that the imbalance of our current environment and geo-political hegemony is not sustainable, let alone spiritually healthy. We are at a very demurring cross-roads, and the path less traveled is the only way to a better life, as the one more traveled is in proverbial flames. As the Hopi Prophesies tell, there will be a great "river" sweeping people away during the period of purification. You will be safe if you do not fight the current or turn away from your faith in God-Spirit. We will shed the darkness of the 4th World and be escorted by the aid of our "ancestors," into the 5th World. We cannot simply seek shelter from chemtrail poison, as it is said in the prophesies, one cannot hide from evil. We must be brave and fight it.
