Nova Roma Chapter 96 - Testing the Temazcal

While Flavio laughed very energetically, h.e.l.lena entered the office completely happy and then her two eyes met and the silence was present in the place.

The two looked at each other for a moment and h.e.l.lena spoke "You are fine sweety, you need me to leave you a moment alone"

Flavio cleared his throat "Nothing happens my love, I was just a little excited about some things"

h.e.l.lena looked at him with a doubtful look "I hope you can tell me about that maybe I can laugh too"

Flavio felt some cold sweat on his back, therefore he walked and approached h.e.l.lena, once he was in front of his wife he hugged her and said in his ear

"Why don't we wait at night, so we can talk more calmly"

h.e.l.lena just shook her head and replied to Flavio "Sweety the I have known since we were children, and I know that the only thing that makes you happy to the point of laughing is to face the challenges"

Flavio could only drop his shoulders h.e.l.lena knew him very well, hiding something of her is impossible, discovered by his wife could only resign, had lost this time.

Therefore, as his revenge raised h.e.l.lena's beautiful face and gave him a great French kiss that lasted a few minutes, they only parted to get some air.

After this, he said "Tell me my love for what you were looking for me"

h.e.l.lena reacted after Flavio's words "Sweety I know that the empire does not rest but I want you to accompany me to try the chemical that Quetzalcoatl built in our yard, says it is perfect for our baby to grow up without problems" said this while stroking her pregnant belly

Flavio took a small blow to his head having forgotten the importance of the Temazcal, with the low temperatures that approach the Temazcal can be a powerful ally because its operation is similar to the sauna but it is quite different because it also has a religious connotation and health especially for pregnant women because it helps a better development of the baby.

Looking at h.e.l.lena, she smiled and took her hand to accompany her to the Temazcal that Quetzalcoatl built, h.e.l.lena wasted no time and hugged him by her arm as she led him to the Temazcal.

When they reached the Temazcal, time stopped and they could see Quetzalcoatl dancing and saying some prayers in Nahuatl, while a very beautiful woman spilled pulque in the round-shaped building, which was placed as if it were a semi-bas.e.m.e.nt.

There was also an older woman dressed in ayate clothes performing some songs, Yuma and Erendida were next to the lady dressed in ayate clothes playing an instrument.

Yuma was playing the drum while Erendida played the ocarina, in a fairly simple tone but with rhythm, Flavio and h.e.l.lena decided to wait and not interrupt the ritual.

After some time the ritual ended and the music their two little children were playing stopped after this the older woman got up from the floor where she had a duffel bag and walked to the Temazcal.

Where he said a few words and after finis.h.i.+ng he went to where h.e.l.lena and Flavio was.

The elderly lady was not a normal person because she could move in the field created by the G.o.ds and her children seemed to have a lot of respect, therefore she must be a G.o.ddess but Flavio did not remember who she could be.

The old lady approached G.o.d and introduced herself "Welcome son and daughter I am the G.o.ddess Toci, better known as the grandmother of the G.o.ds, I am glad you arrived on time.

We have just finished the baptism of the Temazcal and it is ready for you to pa.s.s and feel the womb of Mother Earth.

I will be your guardian in the Temazcal Tametzona, the name was given because it will be used before our moonlight, unlike traditional themes that get their name based on the day and month of the Mixtec calendar I have considered the best name It is one that is consistent with the current situation.

Yuma you could pa.s.s me the censer with Copal. "

Little Yuma took the censer very carefully and took it to Grandma Toci, who took it and said some prayers.

Pa.s.sing the censer through Flavio and h.e.l.lena, I ask them, "My children, why have you come to the Temazcal and what do you want to achieve?"

Flavio and h.e.l.lena looked at each other and spoke: "We want to detoxify our body and we want our baby to be born without any complications grandmother Toci".

Grandma Toci then began to ask permission from the four cardinal points and after that, they entered the Temazcal which had a circular shape

Once inside Flavio and h.e.l.lena undressed leaving only the underwear of the two, Grandma Toci could only refuse to see h.e.l.lena's underwear which is too revealing, but ignoring this took from the center of the Temazcal a grandmother (a stone bright red representing the earth element).

He placed it in a clay pot which had water with medicinal herbs, the water represents another element, the fire that is in the middle of the Temazcal represents another element and finally the steam that leaves the grandmother when touching the water of the pot.

While Flavio and h.e.l.lena were in the steam of herbal water a piece of music began to play again, they were the drum and the flute that their children played, but at the time of adding two more instruments such as the maraca and the sound of a conch sh.e.l.l.

All this was coupled with the songs of Grandmother Toci and the magic was present in the Temazcal both Flavio and h.e.l.lena, began to take a black liquid from their bodies, this was the toxins that had acc.u.mulated in the body, from time to time Grandmother Toci asked for water from outside to bathe Flavio and h.e.l.lena of their impurities that acc.u.mulated in her body.

Time pa.s.sed until the last grandmother (red-hot stone) was over, with the completion of the Temazcal h.e.l.lena and Flavio they felt their skin was very soft and they had their body cleaner, what gave them a little disgust was seeing the matter black that their bodies had produced on the ground.

They could not believe that despite being G.o.ds their bodies will generate waste like this when they left the Temazcal Mayahuel received them with a few buckets of water of medicinal herbs so that they were a relaxing bath.

When they finished showering they felt their bodies very fresh, before leaving Flavio asked Mayahuel and the grandmother G.o.ddess Toci if she could talk to them to discuss things related to the cold that comes from the north ...
