Earth worship has always been an important part of humanity. Earth rituals demonstrate our belief that the Earth has healing properties. In fact, the Earth was so sacred to the ancient civilizations that for centuries they would settle legal disputes by calling upon the Earth as a witness. If a person were to swear an oath while placing an item created by the forces of Nature on one’s head, it was considered binding and uncontestable.
The MiLan Metis Healing Art Project-MMHAP is a unique approach to this ritual. MMHAP’s ritual includes to Honor the calcium shells that protected life in the English Bay region at the Pacific Ocean, the driftwood that has drifted in that Ocean for an indefinite period, to freshly blasted Granite high up in the mountains near Whistler, British Columbia, along the Sea to Sky Highway. The Eight Cardinal Points of the Earth are reflected by Natural Fire.
Metis Artist Mark MiLan's recent journey to interpret Mother Earth in British Columbia is a Canadian Metis Innovation, and the resulting unique MMHAP mandate ensures to proudly introduce contemporary Canadian Metis Art and Accessories in the Vancouver Marketplace. This project is uniquely designed by an Aboriginal Metis Artist without having being mandated by any political group or institution, and it is also the first Metis project of its kind in British Columbia's history. The MMHAP is a grass roots project intended for grass roots peoples. Please support this project by acquiring MMHAP promotional products.
Fortunately, ancient Earth-centered traditions like MMHAP are reawakening in us, especially as more and more of us become aware of the currant danger our Earth and Societies are experiencing.
