On the Backs of Turtles 2 comments

28 Jan 2003 @ 22:26, by John Ashbaugh What we know as the American continents are known as the twin turtles to the Native culture. Globalizing the concept into the four turtles of Eurasia including the Australian extension, Africa, North Ollin and South Ollin, the four quadrants of the Aztec calendar each contain four circles. In three of the quadrants, the arrangement is symmetrical, while in the fourth, that of South Ollin, the arrangement is asymmetrical. All of this is just a meditation on the nature of developing a consciousness of the essential characteristics of the design of the Aztec calendar stone.
