My MamaCorn apprentice path as part of my midwifery path

One of my Corn dreams a reality now, in the piece of Land we are guardians of with my family, our chacra planted with Mama Sara, Mama Corn some weeks ago and thriving now, blessing our home. My love-story with Mama Corn, Mama Sara as we call her in our Peruvian Andes, dates from many many years ago, before becoming a mother. One of my daughter’s name is in honor to Her, one of her Medicine Allies, accompanying her since conception, and following with her her Life Cycle, until our baby girl was born into Pachamama with the Corn harvest. Yesterday, Sr Juan prepared the ground for the traditional ‘aporque’ this Friday to further fertilize MamaSara with cuy & cow poop collected by my husband this dawn. With our same community friend, Sr Juan, gardener & Plant-keeper medicine man (and one of my plant maestros), we planted together in family this chacra in mid-September (see early pics). In the recent “Wachakuy: Sacred Birth Way” Birthkeeper Program in August, my Diné (Navajo) sister & birthkeeper/ midwife-student Desi (the last time we saw in person was when pregnant with my first son 10 years ago) shared that a traditional Native American indigenous midwife had shared with her that if she wanted to become a midwife she had to plant and grow Corn and that She would teach her everything that she needed to know about midwifery 💓 So I’m walking that Path as well .. without knowing until my sister shared with me, that it is part of my midwifery path as well 🙏🌽
