An Easter Message

My teacher, Don Manuel, assumed I was a Christian. So, I acted that way by participating in the miracle of the host as administered by Don Manuel. Before meeting Don Manuel, I took communion from the auxiliary bishop at the Cusco Cathedral, again at the behest of my then teacher, Don Juan Núñez del Prado.

One afternoon, while traveling with Don Juan, I meet a young man in the spirit realm, a young Jesus who assured me of his love.

Years later, I left the spirit realm and stopped taking communion. I continued to have experiences of Jesus as a spirit.

As a homage to Don Manuel, I was baptized and confirmed in the Anglican communion. 

Many years later, a decisive event occurred for me when I stepped into a large baptismal bowl meant for adult baptism. Inside this ancient bowl, I experienced an original foundation of early Christianity: Full immersion, adult baptism. Some of these bowls from the fourth and fifth century have survived. I present a few of them on my website. Inside these bowls is the promised cleansing.

I am also an Andean high priest, initiated, trained, and blessed by Don Manuel Quespe of Chua Chua in the Queros region of the Southern Peruvian Andes. I practice an ancient shamanic tradition within the limitations and opportunities of Nothern California. Much of my knowledge and practice remains hidden and protected by the Apus. 

I bring you Don Manuel's Easter greeting. His love for the spirit of Mother Mary was boundless.

Ancient Baptismal Bowls

In the “Sacred Relics and Icons” section of this website are recent images of fifth and sixth century baptismal bowls preserved at archaeological sites. You probably know that Christianity was vastly different then. The divinity of Jesus was a hotly contested topic. The practice of full immersion baptism of adults was in general use. Each of these ancient bowls had fallen out of use and had been abandoned.

I decided to restore these ancient bowls and began to explore them by getting inside one of them some years ago. To my surprise, the bowl immediately came alive and offered me a powerful blessing not dissimilar from my own baptism experience as an adult in my early fifties. However, there was an important difference. The ancient bowl offered an almost overpowering female energy, an effusive blessing which was generous, gentle, quiet, and soft. Each of the bowls presented here offers a variation of this blessing.

You may discover that each time you sit with one of these recordings the blessing deepens and deepens. These wondrous energies date back to the origins of Christianity.
