Native American: My Red Road of Remembrance

When I feel inclined and often times when I am conducting a ceremony among friends with the medicine of the peoples of this land, I am most moved my the ancestors of this land. I have both the blood of the Cherokee and the Zapotec natives of America. I eat the food grown of this land and Mexico and because of growing up around the American South West, I have been influenced by the remainder of the people that were settled here first.

As an assignment in High School for extra credit I was able to attend a Pow Wow in San Diego. This dancing and chanting opened my eyes and I was lost in some ancient stream of genetic information that I then did not know what to do with. After years of exploring human consciousness, spirituality, rites of passage, and mystical initiations, I am now well through mapping the tip of the "iceberg."

I've had the honor of attending and build many sweat lodge ceremonies of different teachers. I've researched the lives of great tribes of North America and the medicine of those people (food, tools, clothing, music, language, etc.) and everything they used to create their reality. As I've grown an explored more than the Native Western Traditions and the Eastern Mystical traditions, I've been studying something given to me from a far away place: Western Magick.

I was born on the Pacific Ocean, in Southern California, so I've always felt close to the American Southwest, the Indigenous Races of Mexico and the Asian influences coming from the Pacific Ocean (Hawaii and Japan mainly). In my meditations lately and a lot of the reading I've embarked upon, I'm learning about the Magic of Egypt, the Persians, Italians, the Spanish, the French and the Islands around Wales. So much is flowering or feels like so within me. Since I can remember I've been researching paranormal and supernatural things with full intention towards making these a part of my life. Now it seems I am a nexus of lives, of memories that are aware and help me to re-familiarize what the Ancestral Me has always known.

I am Italian, Spanish, Persian, and Welsh for sure along with the heritage of Cherokee and Zapotec. It's likely that there is French, North African, and Irish in there too. I'm a mix up! And this is precisely why it is important for me to learn the ancient traditions of these people. It's my familiar medicine. So I urge my friends and leaders of the change to dig at least 7 generations into your family into your medicine and take back the strength that lives there.

Each and every one of use has genetic memory and can access information through the the DNA.

Why do you think the powers that were have modified the genetics of the food supply?

How can the unnatural things we do and eat cause use to forget our ancestors and our POWER?

What are you favorite medicine for your power and your ancestral memory?

~I trust in Cactus, Mushrooms, and Salvia Divinorum.

Yoga Swami and Encinitas History

Readers and Yoga Adventurers, Just recently called the Yoga Mecca of the USA, Encinitas CA and Yoga Swami (where I teach two days a week) are special and are a must visit for any yoga adventurers. See the article in the winter 2008 copy of the Encinitas magazine. http://www.encinitasmag.com/about.html Encinitas, Swami's Surf Spot, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Leucadia...can be consider spiritual vortex hotspots. This evident in the number of places to worship just on the coast (west of hwy 101) near the cliffside beachs or Swami's and Moonlight. So my mother's family (mexican americans) lived in Encinitas during the period of time when Paramahansa Yogananda (the Swami that Swami's is named after). This time period was about the 1930's- 1940's. At this time Encinitas, was well liked by Swami Yogananda and he settled there for sometime. Swami Yogananda was a capricorn and he was a very involved meditator and yoga practicioner. His foundation still exists in E...

Salvia Meditations

Dear Friends and Alchemists, I am writing out of excitment and satisfaction. Last week we completed class number three and the experiencial portion of the Salvia Divinorum Ethnobotany series. In a well intended, meditative setting with wonderful friends we experimented with altered states of consciousness induced by Salvia Divinorum leaves... ...and we were totally SUCCESSFUL with amazing and fun journeys and deep meditations. So in honor of Spiritual Growth and with reverence to the Spirit of the Sage we are planning to add regular experiential groups for people like you to experience this God Given Sacrament (while it's still legal). Everything comes with intentions for the highest good and the most learning so we will offer a lecture on the herbs and the traditional context (shamanism) of the herbal practices and we encourage you to do your own homework and research. Check out the British documentary series: "Sacred Weeds" for more info on Salvia Divinorum a...

The Path of The Psychedelic Shaman in 2010

So the topic has come up clearly amongst my students and friends whose interested around psychedelics and altered states has finally peaked into practice: Is vomiting good for you? Is it healthy to throw up? Do the medicines considered Purgatives, have negative effects that throw the body off to the point of dysfunction? Do magic mushrooms have negative/toxifying effects when compared to someone else's so called cleaning medicines (ayahuasca and peyote)? _____________________________________________ My teacher and I went round and round today in speculation of herbs and healing as it relates to the body's psychoactive breakthroughs and potential healings. As he spoke, so many memories reminded me of how my primary medicinal study had been with mushroom medicine as it was originally involved with yoga, the rig veda, Christianity, the garden of Eden, and Aryan or Brahman Shamanism (not just psychoactive shrooms but all fungi). We talked about the mellow and medicinal effect of m...
