Martien and Teressena Bakens bring a balance and peace to all they do. Their combined energies bring forward the divine masculine and feminine in sacred union. Their passion is communing with sacred sites and temples in Mesoamerica. They have been the guides for several sacred group journeys to Mayan and Olmec sites in the Yucatan and Guatemala, working with shamans and elders in these areas. They have been invited to become part of the new Cosmic University in Merida. They also conduct workshops on tarot.
Martien and Teressena often receive insights and visions on their journeys. Such divine inspirations come to them in dreams as well as waking hours. The concept for The Fifth Tarot and the imagery for the drawings of the cards came in just this way.
