Eight Thousand Sacred Drums

The Council of the Elders and the Guardians of the OtomÍ Nation invite the Indigenous First Nations, Peoples, Communities and Organizations of the World and all Humankind to join in the ceremony of the Eight Thousand Sacred Drums for the Healing of Mother Earth and to Ensure Life and Peace, on March 21, 2006.

According to a Prophecy Revealed at the Otomí Ceremonial Center by the Otomí Elder Sages to the Indigenous Peoples and all Humankind, the day when the Sounds of Eight Thousand Sacred Drums join together will be the beginning of a true Healing of Mother Earth, all the Species and the Human Family. It is time to re-unite and rediscover all the Seeds of the Four Directions in order to be able to live together on the road to Sacred Peace, in harmonious union with the Universe. It is time to reactivate cosmic energy and heal historical wounds by respecting life and the liberty and dignity of our Peoples.

The Ceremony of the 8000 Sacred Drums is part of the Indigenous World Congress for the Healing of Mother Earth, to be held at t he Otomi Ceremonial Center, Temoaya, Mexico, Otomí Nation from March 17-25, 2006. The main event will be held at 12 noon local Mexican time on March 21, 2006, when the Elder Sages, Spiritual Guides and Guardians of the sacred Otomí and Indigenous Drums will appear and play their Sacred Drums to the Four Directions of Mother Earth, thereby attaining unity in diversity and communally receiving the Healing Energy of the Great Spirit and the Cosmos. It will be a marvelous blessing to all of us who are able to come together at this Celebration of Peace and Dignity in honor of Our Ancestors.

Taking Part from your Home Countries

We invite you to come together in your home countries to join your sacred drumbeat into the Grand Ceremony. Meet with your Sacred Drums and the drum of your heart at some Sacred Place in any region or country on the planet. If you do this, we still ask that you inform us as soon as possible, register your drums and let us know how many people will be taking part from their home areas so that we can make the connection and know how many drums are contributing to the Sound of the 8,000 Sacred Drums.

Please let us know how many drums will join your circle in your community and where you are located so that we can document our efforts and the fulfillment of the prophecy given by the Otomi Olmec Toltec Teotihuacan ancestors to the Otomi Elders of Central Mexico. Please send us any information, pictures and words about your experience to drums@universidadinidgena.org
