The Andes Mountains of Peru are rich with ancient shamanic traditions,
sacred places, and heart wisdom passed down from the Inca and
safeguarded for generations by the Q'eros nation. In this experiential
guide to the wisdom and practices of the Andean people and their sacred
land, Vera Lopez and Linda Star Wolf take you on an intimate journey
through the sacred sites, temples, and power places of Peru, including
Machu Picchu, Cuzco, Ollantaytambo, Sacsayhuamán, Písac, Lake Titicaca,
and more. They show how each of these powerful sites holds an ancient
wisdom--an initiation left behind by the Inca--and they share initiatory
rites and shamanic journeying practices to allow you to integrate and
embody the wisdom of each sacred place.
The authors explore the cosmology and core shamanic beliefs of the
Andean people, including Pachamama, the Sacred Law of Reciprocity, the
Serpent of Light, the Chakannah, and power animals such as condors,
snakes, hummingbirds, and pumas. They examine healing practices and
sacred plants of this tradition, including a look at the shamanic use of
ayahuasca and San Pedro.
Offering direct access to the gentle heart of wisdom found within the
ancient shamanic land of Peru, the authors show how the Andean shamanic
tradition offers an antidote to the modern epidemic of Soul Loss by
connecting us back to our authentic self and the universal principles of
love, reciprocity, and gratitude.
