The late Grandmother Twylah Nitsch—Yehwehnode Two Wolves, She Whose Voice Rides the Wind, a Seneca Elder and one of the wisest woman I have ever known. She initiated me into the Wolf Clan Teaching Lodge; counseled me on the use of a psychological model based on sacred Wisdom Wheels; and instructed me in the use of my personal medicine gift, as a dream decoder.

Through Gram I came to understand my involvement since early childhood with the Starbeings. [Experiences further delved into with the late Harvard professor Dr. John Mack and Roberta Colasanti of PEER: Program for Extraordinary Experience Research.]

The late Gram Kitty--Da Keel She Wa, Dark Sun She Walks (referring to the corona of the sun during an eclipse), a Nakota Peace elder and Sun Dance grandmother for 14 years, who trained me in the sacred lineage of the chanunpa.

The late Maya Perez, born in Guyana, South America, a mystic who imparted training on numerology, the psalms, and the power of prayer and breath in the healing process.

The late Oh Shinnah Fastwolf, She Who Makes the Song of the Earth, who taught the use of crystals as healing tools, the power of the elements and elementals, and who initiated me into an ancient women’s lodge known as the Sisters of the Violet Flame.

Dr. Juan Nunez del Prado, an anthropologist, kurak priest in the Andean Mystical Tradition and scholar on multiple subjects. Instructed to disperse this body of knowledge from his master teachers'—Don Benito Qoriwaman, Don Andrea Espinoza and Don Melchor Deza—he initiated me into the 4th level Andean Mystical path in '94 and as a Chumpi paq’o. Juan's unswerving loyalty to the truth and pragmatism of the Andean teachings has been a constant reflection of true integrity.

The late Don Mariano Apasa Marchaqa, Q’ero elder and kurak akulleq, who awakened me to the power of munay—how to forgive and use heart energy as a catalyst to bring union between the left and right sides of the Andean Mystical tradition. In ’92 Don Mariano bestowed upon myself and another woman, the honor to open a new mesa that embodied the ancient feminine, to help restore balance with the Divine Feminine for the coming Pachakuti time.

Americo Yabar likewise mentored by don Benito Qoriwaman, he is a chakaruna or 'living bridge' between cultures. Americo instructed me in the left side of the Andean Mystical Tradition, and taught me how to embody 'salka energy' (natural universal, undomesticated energy). In ‘92, Americo took a group to Mollomarqa, his ancestral home, where I first met and was initiated by don Mariano Apasa. Later he took 5 women paqos throughout Peru & Bolivia for our further training in the Andean arts.

Although their approaches varied, I was instructed in Susto/Limpia spirit healing through the diverse teachings of these three indigenous healers: Señor Manual/Mayan elder, from outside Merida, Mexico; Vincenté Alfonso Garcia Ramirez/Santeria healer, from Veracruz, Mexico; and donas’ Ysabel and Olinda from Chiclayo, Peru. Ethical curandera/o’s-female/male healers, use prayer, spiritual cleansing and ceremony, to extract corded light-body wounds and restore coherence to one’s full body system.
