Yucahu Kachi Areito: Guidance for the 2025 Year of Ripples
We recently received guidance regarding the Yucahu Kachi Areito (Yamaye Taino Celebration of the Dry Season/Winter Solstice Ceremony) on December 21st. This guidance focuses on the energy and actions for the coming year, 2025.

2025 is a year of ripples. - Ripples already in effect from actions taken and energy dispersed throughout the ethos.
We will add our energy and momentum to the positive ripples—those aligned with protecting the spirits of the environment. We will not obstruct, deflect, reflect, or intervene with the natural progression of these positive ripples as they develop into waves.
Several ceremonies have taken place, and their impact will unfold over the next four years. However, rituals have also been created to maintain the current status quo (minority control over the majority).
To transform this status quo and effect positive change, specific individuals and small groups are called to action. They are to implement small yet constant ceremonial practices, creating a counter-wave specifically aimed at the forces maintaining the status quo—forces not aligned with the spirits of nature, the environment, Atabeira (Mother Earth/Female Spirit of Fertility), or Yucahu (Male Spirit of Fertility). This counter-wave is distinct from the natural wave progression of the positive ripples.
This is a year of ripples and waves.
The ancestors have shared that, throughout 2025, we will be able to effect more change from our Wanaras (places apart/home altars) than those who are openly and actively engaging in public spaces.

My interpretation of the guidance for 2025 points to a year defined by interconnected forces: ripples, waves, and what I perceive as crucial rhythms. Understanding these dynamics is key to navigating the year effectively.
The guidance speaks of existing ripples, set in motion by previous actions and dispersed energies. Our role is to support these positive ripples, adding our energy to their momentum without interfering with their natural progression into waves. Visualize a stone dropped into a pond: the expanding circles represent these ripples. Throwing another stone while the initial ripples are still forming disrupts the pattern, potentially causing them to clash and lose their intended effect. This analogy highlights the importance of allowing positive forces to unfold naturally.
We are informed that ceremonies already performed will have effects lasting four years. However, rituals have also been enacted to maintain the current status quo—a status quo often characterized by a minority controlling the majority, frequently with less-than-positive intentions.
To counter these status-quo-maintaining rituals, select individuals and small groups are called to action. They are tasked with implementing small, consistent practices—what I understand as the "rhythms" of 2025. These consistent actions create a counter-wave, specifically aimed at neutralizing the negative influences perpetuating the imbalance of power. This counter-wave is not meant to disrupt the positive waves developing from the initial ripples; rather, it targets the source of the negative forces.
The key takeaway for each of us is that, throughout 2025, we can generate significant positive change from our home altars. Our personal practices—prayers, fasting, meditations—become powerful tools for supporting the positive ripples, rhythms, and waves. By cultivating inner strength and maintaining consistent spiritual practice, we contribute to the overall balance and facilitate positive transformation.
