Eternal slumber
As if stepping through a gateway to another layer of existence, you enter a dark corridor.
Soon, you encounter a mysterious gathering. You arrive at an open space with a mystical circle of twelve floating faces, silently communicating. Upon entering the circle, you stand at the center of this force field, with twelve beings gazing at you expectantly. The scene evokes a gathering of twelve apostles or magical stone circles like Stonehenge. Even more striking is the legend of life-sized skulls carved from massive quartz, said to have been found near Mayan temples. According to the myth, thirteen such skulls are scattered across the earth. When all thirteen are united, a transformation will begin, where the old world dies and a new one is born.The richly adorned heads represent twelve archetypal energies that have come to Morena in a state of trance. These faces personify elements, entities, mythological beings, and chakras, ever-present in the invisible realms. Among them are the shaman, the feminine, the verdant forest, and the animals. “It may sound like science fiction, but these archetypal energies are recognized in many cultures and traditions. Each face has its place, and together we form the consciousness of unity.”
These primordial beings seem gathered for the enigmatic announcement of something momentous.
By stepping into the circle, the visitor becomes the thirteenth presence. What is about to unfold? What is your role in it?
