An Ancestral Vision Awakens Amid Modern Chaos

In these times of profound upheaval, when confusion clouds the hours and the heart of the world pulses with anguish and uncertainty, ancient voices rise once again. From the depths of human memory emerge the stories of the elders, the foundational myths, and the sacred signs of our time. Among these, one shines as a bridge between cultures, generations, and worlds: the prophecy of the Rainbow Warriors.

This ancestral call is the awakening of a living myth, rooted in the deep memory of Earth’s original nations. For them, the Rainbow is more than a sign linking Heaven and Earth — it is a sacred bridge connecting past and future, guiding humanity through a time of transformation and the restoration of balance.

The Origins of Imbalance: When Earth Was Invaded by Selfishness

The prophecy speaks of a time when humanity would lose its connection to nature — abandoning the harmony of coexistence and trading the Culture of Life for the Civilization of Violence, where everything is commodified and consumed. It marks the beginning of a world where collective cooperation is replaced by competition, giving rise to individualism and disconnection.

Today, we find ourselves in such a world — a civilization obsessed with appearances, where the selfie has become a symbol of validation. But this seemingly harmless trend reveals a deeper crisis: emotional isolation, technological dependency, and a loss of human connection.

Just as Narcissus was consumed by his own reflection, we risk drowning in an ocean of superficiality, forgetting the sacred web of life that unites us all.

Like the dystopia portrayed in The Matrix, we are slipping into a virtual existence, enslaved to systems of domination that exploit the Earth’s organic life. We are approaching a critical threshold — the final stage of biodiversity collapse — with the potential for total global extinction within the next 25 years.

The Prophecy Speaks

In the spring of 1983, wisdom keeper Brooke Medicine Eagle shared with journalist Steven McFadden a powerful vision she received during a spiritual ceremony at Bear Butte, in the sacred lands of South Dakota. That moment marked the birth of what is now known as The Prophecy of the Rainbow Warriors.

It tells of a time when the Earth would be gravely ill — when forests die, rivers are poisoned, animals disappear, and humanity loses its way. Then, from the four directions of the Earth, the Rainbow Warriors will return — strong, clear in vision, and devoted to restoring balance.

This prophecy resonates deeply with another ancient vision born in the Andes: the legend of the Wiphala, the sacred rainbow-colored flag representing the unity of the seven directions.

It is said that in a distant time of darkness and despair, the world was on the brink of collapse. Cold winds rose, waters surged, and life was on the verge of vanishing. In that moment, a winged warrior descended from the heavens carrying a luminous flag. As he touched the Earth, the first rainbow appeared, and he entrusted the sacred banner to the peoples of Tiwanaku.

The warrior prophesied that when the world once again faces collapse, the people must raise this flag from the mountain peaks to call back hope.

And so it is. When shadows fall once more across humanity, the Rainbow Warriors will rise again — not to conquer, but to heal. They will come from all nations, creeds, and colors. They will remember the ancient teachings: that we do not own the Earth — we belong to her; that all beings are interconnected; and that peace is impossible without justice, and justice impossible without love.

These warriors will not be recognized by appearance, but by their clear vision and courageous action. They will be healers, artists, farmers, scientists, mothers, grandmothers, dreamers, and truth-tellers — weaving together a new web of life and hope.

From Myth to Action

The power of myth lies not in its historical accuracy, but in its ability to inspire transformative action. Each of us is called to step into our role as a co-creator of the future. This requires a deep inner transformation that radiates outward — into our families, communities, and ecosystems.

We must move from passive observers to active participants in healing our world. Like the trees, we are here to give life and renew life.

The prophecy teaches us: Myth is the message of revelation; Ritual is the act of renewal. It is time to move from words to action.

In February 2025, a convergence of ancestral spirits, elders, and sacred lineages from across the world gathered in Tikal, Guatemala, to co-create, co-ritualize, and contribute to a collective process of planetary healing. Through dances, ceremonies, conversations, embraces, and tears, they opened the portals of transformation. Their unity marked the fulfillment of the Rainbow Warrior prophecy — the gathering of people from many colors and origins to form a new human tribe rooted in ancestral wisdom and guided by the laws of nature.

The Tikal Convergence 2025 marked a sacred reunion of memory keepers and guardians of the Earth. It was a moment to give thanks — and to send out a call to the world yet to come.

We give thanks to those who journeyed from faraway lands, bringing their gifts and light. And we call now to those who are watching for the signs, reading the skies — because they are here. The time of planetary renewal has arrived.

You, too, are part of this unfolding. Within you is a luminous seed, waiting to grow.

Remember: We are the Rainbow Warriors.
