Blood Moon Lunar Eclipse Ceremony in Lalibela, Ethiopia

In Lalibela, Ethiopia, January 31, for the Rare, Lunar Eclipse Blood Moon with U Day! What a very spiritually powerful, unifying and loving, Ceremonial experience! We had relatives who came from the Four Directions and from all Faiths and Spiritual Traditions from around Mother Earth.

The last time this particular Full Moon occurred was 150 years ago! Koda Darcy Demas was our Fire Keeper. All cell phone and the internet connection was cut during our visit due to civil violence, although there is never any violence or any form of disrespect at Ethiopian Sacred Sites!

People of many faiths stand in a circle around a ceremonial fire at dusk, holding torches and a golden lantern, as a woman in a red ribbon shirt tends the fire.

An elder in a feather headdress and red regalia raises a torch beside a fire, joined by a monk holding a lantern and people in white robes and shawls.
