13 Flint/Mirror (ETZNAB)

Greetings on this 13th day of Ascension; Flint/Mirror (Etznab) the Mirror of Reality for Reflection and Introspection

Galactic Tone 13
The energy of thirteen calls us to return to source as we experience ascension, integrated through processing of experiences of the completing Galactic week. What where your intentions 13 days ago? What experiences and information were called forward to experience, refinement, and new understanding? Insights that you receive today support completion, and raise awareness that will call you to the next step in your journey.

Flint/Mirror (ETZNAB)
The Day Keeper Etznab provides support for “overcoming obstacles, personal limitations, and finding solutions” to long held problems. We are directed to “seize the moment” under the energy of Etznab, supported by the power for transcendence and enlightenment. Today is a good day to open yourself to new inspiration, new ways of thinking, and to transcend outworn beliefs and limitations – through the sum total of your experience over the passing 13-day Galactic week.

Don’t these two go together beautifully? They illustrate the support that surrounds your journey as you keep in time with the sacred Tzolkin.

How can you work with Tzolkin time? I would compare it closely with working with the Moons in my own past experience. Farmers know to plant during the new moon and to harvest at the full moon. This has worked in my life for many years – I planted my seeds of intention at the new moon, and cleared the wheat from the chaff (discharged and healed) at the full moon. Working with the Tzolkin is very similar, following the flow of energies that build and transcend over the 13-day Galactic week.

As a Day Keeper, I am eager to greet the Sun each morning. The Day Keepers of the day brings clarity to the gifts that will guide me through the day – the areas highlighted for my greatest good that I will feel most evidently surrounding me. I only have to feel the Sun upon me to feel its soul connection. As I receive this blessing filled with love and light, I turn to the West – where Day Keepers still await the Sun’s dawning – and send my light and love on in the spirit of lak’ech – I am another yourself. Try it. You may be amazed at what happens.

In lak'ech
I am another Yourself!

Love in a Recipe - Mom's Chocolate Sheet Cake

One of the things I love about my Mom, is that everyone who enters the door is offered something wonderful from her kitchen - this is my favorite thing. This is seriously one of the best recipes in my entire collection - the fastest and BEST chocolate cake you will ever lay hands on. You just can't screw this up!

Mom's Chocolate Sheet Cake

The Cake...
2 Cups Flour
2 Cups Sugar
1 Stick Butter
5 Tablespoons Hershey's Cocoa
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Cup Water
1 Teaspoon Soda
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Oil

First - preheat the oven to 400 degrees (that is not a typo).
Get a big sauce pan, you are going to mix the batter in there. Melt the butter with the oil, water, and cocoa and bring to a boil. Take off the stove immediately, and add all the dry ingredients, EXCEPT THE SODA. Dissolve the soda in the 1/2 Cup of Buttermilk, then add this, the eggs, and vanilla and mix till smooth. Pour batter into a sheet cake pan - those big pans that are a little deeper than a cookie sheet. (I line mine with parchment paper, or grease and dust it with flour.) Bake for 20 minutes ONLY, or until it springs back.

The frosting...
You are going to use the same saucepan, so rinse and start over for the frosting. This doesn't take long, and you pour it over the cake while it is still hot - only 5 minutes out of the oven... so I usually start this about 5 minutes BEFORE the cake is done.

1 Stick Butter
5 Tablespoons Hershey's Cocoa
1/3 Cup Buttermilk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Box (2 1/2 Cups) Powdered Sugar
1/2 Cup chopped pecans (optional)

Melt the butter with the cocoa til well dissolved. Add the buttermilk and vanilla - mix. Add the powdered sugar and keep this on a low burner... just to keep it from setting while you are mixing. By now, your cake should be out of the oven - add the nuts if you want them in the frosting - then pour this over the cake. (The frosting sets up like a homemade MMMMM fudge and holds all the moisture in the cake... will stay moist for days like that.)

OMG - Never baked this for ANYONE that they didn't go ape over it. You can leave out the cinnamon, though just a tad is unrecognizable - just "something" good people can't quite put their finger on. TRY IT.

I'm packing boxes for my move, and just couldn't bear the thought of not being able to find this recipe that I love so much. Hope you enjoy it. AND THANK YOU MOM!
