Recently (in 2008) the government of Ecuador granted "nature" consitutional inalienable rights and has been in court against the US born oil company Texaco (now Chevron) over damages to the Amazon and its people living in Ecuador. Well the good news is that Ecuador and the Rights of the Amazon won and Texaco was liable for $18 billion in restitution. The bad news is Texaco is trying to get out of pay back the wounded country and appeal the case on US soil. Please help us to enforce the laws of a country with great respect for nature and encourage Texaco to pay back damages to the Rain Forest. As a fellow guardian of nature and shamanic practitioner, I request the following of you and anyone you share this information with: Please boycott Texaco and Chevron! Please read more about this topic.  Please Sign the Petition ! Please write to the   U.S. District Judge, Lewis Kaplan    and describe the injustice of Texaco against the Amazon. Help to Respect Natu...

Recently I started practicing a style of exorcism that combines with Shamanic Plant teacher work. Under the tutelage of my ancestors of Mexico I am able to offer services of "soul recovery" and negative entity removal while allowing my clients to imbibe the Sacred Mint aka Ska Maria Pastora. As an astrologer, I understand that there are recommended things to do on special days of the month. During the time of Bharani my tribe offers specials on exorcisms and other shamanic rites for purification of evil. Bharani is described in the Hindu system of astrology (Jyotish) as the best time to correct behaviours in unruly ancestors as well. Our document describes Bharani as follows: Perform tasks that must be done but are not generally enjoyable. Doing things considered destructive, cruel, severe or warlike. Driving out "evil" influences. Beginning a lawsuit, divorce, initiating an attack. Entering a competition, beginning a campaign against a rival. Ac...

On this ever expanding quest to live   the most inspired life , my friends and I are offering amazing services for the holidays plus a Yule Gift for you with purchase of any healing services. During this amazing time of year we are called to be compassionate, loving and to have healing communication with Family and close friends in order to weather to "dark" times before the return of the Sun on the Winter solstice. The Astrology for Changing Times:   Mercury is in Retrograde so it's a time to complete old and unfinished tasks. For many, this retrograde can bring communication breakdowns, technology failures, travel and timing awkwardness. For me and my son, retrograde is time when our luck changes because we were born under Mercury Retro. From Thanksgiving until Jan 1st, Mercury will be in this state of causing confusion in most peoples schedules. Try to be understanding and let go of the communication problems associated with this season. AND IF ALL ELS...

To quote a friend Kahuna Lamaku: "The Non-tribal World does not allow shamanism to exist. Shamanism, the idea, only exists within a tribal context. Without a tribe, a Shaman can be a priest, a sorcerer or ritual magician. Even if non-tribal people could learn shamanism, they could not grasp it." We both agree that the path of "shamanism" is hard for most people to grasp. Even I have troubles when in the average waking world amidst "muggles" or going to the bank on an average San Diego day. I won't go to Wal-Mart anymore because of the sheer ignorance within the consciousness of the people. Lo, we must be compassionate. My interpretative of the reason behind the escape of shamanism from one's understanding in the Western/National world is LANGUAGE Barrier. For more info on this (and language) please reference my article on "If you can read this, your language killed shamanism!" before continuing in this discussion. Appreciate you...

Readers, As a Priest in a Neo-Shamanic Order of Alchemists, often times I am challenged along this path and much of my practice and teaching faces strong tests of faith, courage, and trust. Recently my main student of the OSS 7 day training had an accident in which he chipped his tooth.  Now it's important to know that your subconscious thoughts (and some powerful conscious thoughts) affect your reality and all that comes into your life. So when I received a text message from my student who is very interested in this retreat that he may have to back out due to his dental work, I do what any great teacher with Coyote Medicine (aka Jackal Medicine in Africa) by taking the following perspectives:  What's this text really saying? Where is the fear based creation? Where's the breakthrough? How can I show compassion and still make a stand against this student's fear? What within myself is afraid to teach him? What ritual actions and prayers do I need to make i...

My hair is about 18 inches long and it has become heavy enough where it breaks...AND I'M OVER IT! So my friend Totally Traci of BestBeautyFoods.com gifted me with a wonderful two part herbal solution. This is day three and I've been taking the "Hair Restore" product internally (it's an alcohol tincture containing saw palmetto, pygeum root, nettle, horsetail, rosemary, and burdock root), twice daily. Additionally, I'm topically spraying my scalp with the product and taking an over-the-counter saw palmetto extract. We will see if this strengthens and lengthens my hair. Stay tuned for notes and videos of my progress.  ____ Oh and if you have had hair restoration success with NATURAL products, message me or Traci of BestBeautyFoods.com ----- Trevahr of Waking Within

So my friends I have been dreaming again. It's interesting what's coming up and where I'm popping up. Many of my friends have reported dreams about me and I love some of the sharing of these things. So I started a Dream Collectors Club with regular monthly meetings and dream gatherings on the full moon where people attempt to dream journey in a place together as a group. The following two dreams took place on June 1st (early morning) and June 2nd (early morning) and where related to people in my community and life. Just to let you know, I live in the Pacific Time region and most of my dreams take place in the mornings after I go to bed quite late. I usually go to bed around 1 or 3am. The more recent of the dreams was recalled on June 2nd after the moon went into a "New" phase. In this dream, I was at a large residence in an area that felt like San Diego and was attending some event at a this location. I seemed to be invited and to know most of the people. I th...

Dear Universe, I met someone who I will forever remember when I hear or sing this song: "Walking through the Holy Fire. Raising the Vibration (2x) Stepping through the Sacred Flame (with the Sacred Earth). Deepening Relations (2x)" My travels through the American Southwest have been amazing as well as graceful and flowing. I came to do ritual and to connect with community and I found myself dreaming of a woman every time I heard the last line of that song/chant. Deepening Relations! i'm deepening relations... Over the course of a night we must have sang this song lines at least twenty (maybe forty) times. Every time that the last part of the chant would roll around I could look to my right and smile at this darling woman. Who knows what she was going through her mind body spirit and what processes was allowing herself. All I knew and experienced was this profound love for her. Everytime that the words "deepening relations" were sang, I felt a love eternal and an...

“Trevor: I thought this rambling message more appropriate to send personally rather than to comment on the website. Please excuse its rambling nature. As an Elder who has been a Pipe-carrier and Sun Dancer with the Lakota for over two decades, I have a few comments (well, more than a few): I too have been initiated into The Mankind Project; however, in this context, I found it inappropriate...it sounded like a pitch...I also found the use of "aho" as sounding like a group of non-Traditional men, condescending to Native Peoples. I too have studied in Peru and Bolivia. and am a chumpi paqo from the only two lineages left with the knowledges of how to use those particular muya kullas. I have spent time with the Q'ero in their tiny hamlets, in ceremonies, initiations, and empowerments. I find very little connection between men's groups (which I do find much value in) and shamanism. In fact, up on the Rosebud & Pine Ridge rez's, the word, "Shaman" is used...

Last night, I was gifted with an in-person interview with Ralph Metzner Ph.D. that can has brought my awareness to shine more brightly on other areas of study. My time with Ralph, truly encouraged me to learn about alchemy of the ancient times, divination, expansion and contraction of consciousness, journeying to the well of remembrance, and the possibility of the Annunaki. Later that night, I went to bed thinking about the possibility that star beings came to the earth and sort of helped genetics along with the humans. Even the scenes of violence in a movie that my roommates were watching were strangely invaded by questions: What if we are hybrids of another race of beings? What if the violence isn't truly human...it's just nature and the brutality of organic DNA that lived here millions of years ago? We do share common ancestors with the dinosaurs, so what of our own reptilian brains? Check out the interview and post me some comments about what you think or what thoughts ...

Yes we talked with Two Buck Chuck from Napa CA. Although, it's not the Charles Shaw that you may know from Trader Joes'. Listen and enjoy this fun interview about drugs, healing and CHANGE! Charles was a little late to interview so please forgive the technical difficulties at the beginning of the show, but if you have time to listen through to the end, you will have found some value or at least some humor in what was said. (Pay special attention to the stuff about ayahuasca for a pop quiz coming to this blog soon) Listen to internet radio with EntheoRadio on Blog Talk Radio Trevahr Hughes
