Honoring Mother Earth: The Pachakuti Mesa and Celtic Traditions

We live in a time of great challenge and transition, a time of cultural soul-loss. Many are estranged from the sacred dimensions of life. But we also live in a time of great possibility and promise. Never before have so many people given voice to their love for the Earth, their passion for peace and justice, and their longing for personal and spiritual truth. And never before have so many spiritual teachers and elders from the world's wisdom traditions been available to share their teachings.

Legend of Eagle and Condor

In the early 1990's, tribal elders and shamans from the Andes began to share traditional teachings and healing practices that they had held secret since the Conquest. According to their legends, we are now in the Pachakuti Era, when Eagle and Condor will reunite and fly in the same sky. Eagle symbolizes North American culture, material progress, physical mastery, and the mind; Condor symbolizes South America, Earth-based spirituality, and the heart.

Many elders are praying that together we can sustain a shift to a new era of awakened consciousness, and begin to heal Pachamama (Mother Earth).

Pachakuti Mesa Teachings

Oscar Miro-Quesada, one of the "Condors," is a master shaman, curandero (healer), and teacher from Peru.  The Pachkuti Mesa Tradition, as taught by don Oscar, is a synthesis of Northern Peruvian Coastal Kamasqa and Southwestern Andean Paqo Altomisayoq curanderismo (folk healing/shamanic) traditions.

Oscar's teachings have helped many students to open their hearts, and to honor the wisdom of indigenous cultures and their own ancestors. Oscar challenges students to find authentic paths of connection, community, and loving service to Mother Earth.

Oscar's teachings include deep dialogue, cross-cultural healing techniques, participation in ceremony, and reverent use of the Pachakuti mesa. A mesa, in the curandero tradition, is an altar, laid out on the ground, with a symbolic arrangement of sacred objects. The Pachakuti Mesa is an energetic map of the universe. It serves as a catalyst to focus healing energy for individual, community, and planetary transformation.

Celtic Spiritual Traditions

Ancient and modern Celtic spiritual paths hold much in common with other world shamanic traditions:  a sense of the sacred infused throughout nature and in daily life;  a multi-dimensional, living universe;  the Earth as sacred feminine;  honoring the Directions and Elements in prayer and ritual, including cross-quarter directions;  communication with animals, stones, and Otherworld beings;  honoring the Ancestors.

The Legend of Eagle and Owl

In Wales and other Celtic lands, there is a legend of the Marriage of Eagle and Owl which deeply resonates with South American teachings of Eagle and Condor.  Edie will share this ancient and mysterious tale, and the healing message it brings for our troubled times.

Other Similarities between these traditions

• honoring the Earth as our living Mother
• apachetas and stone cairns
• the ceque energy system and ley lines
• hummingbirds and wrens
• vision quest traditions
• importance of the Directions, Elements, and Cross-Quarters in both traditions
