There is a prophecy older than any border drawn on this earth.

An ancient prophecy carried by the indigenous peoples of the Americas known as the Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor.

The Eagle. The path of the mind. Of technology. Of the external world.
The Condor. The path of the heart. Of wisdom. Of deep relationship with the earth and the ancestors.

For 500 years these paths flew apart, but the prophecy always said this separation was never permanent.

That a time would come and most elders believe that time is now, when the Eagle and the Condor would have the opportunity to fly together again.

Mind reuniting with heart. Technology reuniting with wisdom. Power reuniting with purpose.

I dedicated a design to this beautiful prophecy.
Because I believe The Native Pact exists at exactly this crossroads.

Printed on a 260GSM Unisex Oversized Sun Faded Long Sleeve available in Bright Grey and Smoky Black.

Jumbo design on the front. The Native Pact on the sleeves.
And on the back the tagline that carries the prophecy forward.

The Eagle and the Condor will fly together again. 🖤

Do you know how much water a cacao tree needs to produce its fruit?

Do you know how long a Peyote cactus takes to mature?

Do you know what our demand for plant medicine is actually doing to the earth that grows it?

I am not sure we are asking these questions loudly enough.

Slide through my thoughts ❤️

This creature is the one who sees through the illusion.

It has been here for 300 million years. It watched the dinosaurs come and go and survived every extinction event this planet has thrown at the living world.

For the Navajo the dragonfly is a sacred messenger because it’s moving between dimensions with the same ease it moves between water and air.

For the Pueblo peoples it signals renewal. What appeared barren will be restored.

In Japanese tradition it only flies forward. Never retreats. The samurai wore it as the symbol of the warrior who does not turn back.

For Amazonian peoples it carries the medicine of transformation. A being that begins life entirely underwater and emerges into a completely different form.

Same creature. Two entirely different worlds.
And here is what that means for us.

It spent its entire early life underwater. Not knowing another world existed above the surface. Not knowing there was light. Not knowing there were wings.
Until it was time.
And then it let go of the only world it had ever known and discovered it could fly.

What surface are you still living beneath?
That is the medicine.

What part of your life are you being called to outgrow, so you can discover the world waiting beyond the surface?

Deep in the highlands of Sulawesi, Indonesia, in a landscape of dramatic cliffs, terraced rice fields and houses shaped like the curved horns of a buffalo lives a people the world has barely heard of.

Meet the Toraja.

Their spiritual tradition called aluk todolo is built on one understanding.
That the living and the dead are never truly separated.

When someone dies in Toraja tradition they are not immediately considered dead. They are to makula the sick one. They remain in the family home. Spoken to. Fed. Cared for. Until the family has gathered enough resources to send their loved one properly into the next world.

Sometimes this takes years. Not because the family is avoiding grief.
But because they understand that a life deserves more than just a quiet burial.

It deserves a ceremony worthy of everything it was.
And when that ceremony finally comes, Rambu Solo, it is not a funeral in any sense the modern world would recognize. It is days of gathering. Of feasting. Of buffalo sacrificed so the soul has a companion for the journey ahead.

And when the ceremony is complete the dead are placed in cliff faces carved from limestone. Coffins hang above rice fields. Wooden effigies stand on ledges watching over the living below.

The Toraja never say goodbye.They say ‘go ahead. We will keep you close.’

What does the Toraja relationship with death stir in you? Share in the comments.

Fall is here, and I want you to stay warm.

But not just in any hoodie. The Comanche Puha shows two warriors on horseback, bold and powerful, carrying puha: the spiritual power the Comanche believed flows through all living things. I made this one to remind you that you carry that strength too.

Someone in the circle was thinking about the aesthetic of the shot.

While the person next to them was in the most vulnerable moment of their life.

And I just do not get it.

PS: Read it with some nuance❤️

The one who burns through the dark.

Almost every culture that lived alongside the tiger understood that it was more than just an animal.
It was something Devine, something that carried the energy of the cosmos in its stripes.

In Chinese Tradition the white tiger, Bai Hu, is one of the four celestial animals of Chinese cosmology. Guardian of the West. Of autumn. Of the descent into darkness.

In Chinese tradition the tiger is the king of all animals.
The Chinese character for king , 王 , is said to derive from the three stripes on a tiger’s forehead.
Three lines. The mark of sovereignty.

The tiger does not hunt constantly.
It is still for extraordinary lengths of time. It waits. It watches. It conserves every ounce of energy for the precise moment when action is required.
And then it moves with everything it has.
The teaching is not about aggression.
It is about the power of stillness before the strike.

Because we lost our reverence for it there are fewer than 4000 wild tigers left on earth.
The animal worshipped as divine across an entire continent is disappearing.
And perhaps that is the final teaching the tiger carries…
What we stop treating as sacred we destroy.
And what we destroy we spend the rest of our lives trying to remember.

Which quality of the tiger speaks most to you right now? Share in the comments.

Long before Egypt there was Nubia.

Kush. Meroe. Kerma.

Kingdoms so sophisticated that the ancient Greeks called the Nubians the most just of men and said their land was the place where the gods go to rest.

Did you know that the Nubian people built pyramids before Egypt refined the form?
Over 200 pyramids still stand in the Sudanese desert today.

When the Aswan High Dam was completed in 1970 the rising waters of Lake Nasser swallowed 500 kilometers of the Nubian heartland. Sacred sites. Ancestral burial grounds.
Approximately 100,000 Nubian people were forcibly displaced.

Most were promised they could return but most never did.
This is one of the most significant acts of cultural erasure of the 20th century.

Not by a foreign colonial power.
By a neighboring government that decided a dam was worth more than a civilization.

But the Nubian language, Nobiin and Kenzi are still spoken. The Nubian people have not forgotten where they came from. They have not stopped demanding the right to return.

The pyramids of Meroe are still standing in the Sudanese desert.

Waiting for the world to finally look south.
And remember that civilization did not begin where the textbooks said it did.
It began on the Nile.
In the land the gods went to rest.

What do you know about the Nubian people that history never taught you? Share in the comments.
