  • Coca, and the Sacred Plants of the Incas - Plant Spirit Shamanism of the Andes

  • The Sacred Attributes of Plants, the Spirit of Life - a Shaman’s Perspective.
    The shamans work with the power of the plants in many ways, the colours of the flowers, the perfume, their shape, form, and associations. This although does not play a role in modern medicine, this understanding has a long history in the human relationship and dependence on plants.
  • Ayahuasca, the Power of Attraction from the Amazon: The Pusanga
    The Western rational mind can only struggle, to take as an example the famed ‘love potion’ of the Amazon known as the Pusanga. In rational terms it makes no sense whatsoever, how can a concoction of leaves, roots, and seeds attract a lover, or good luck to you?
  • Ayahuasca, Icaros, the Magical Chants of the Shamans from the Amazon Rainforest in Peru

  • Ayahuasca Retreats and Spiritual Journeys to the Amazon Rainforest
    A dedicated programme in the Amazon rainforest, which is focussed on an inner and deep self-exploration and encounter with the power of the rainforest.

  • Ayahuasca, and the Shamans of Peru, Sacred Chants, Icaros, and Music
    The haunting, plaintive music of Peruvian shamans was recorded by the Eagle's Wing Centre for Contemporary Shamanism at ceremonies in the Peruvian Andes and the Amazon rainforest.

    Although the chants and icaros have an organic relationship to the medicine plants and shamanic journeying of each particular ritual, and are primarily intended as devotional music for inner-journeying. It is equally possible to listen to the hypnotically beautiful sounds in their own right and simply enjoy them for their otherworldly loveliness.
  • Death as an Ally - The Shaman's Perception of Death
    In traditional wisdom and knowledge, life is a continuum that does not end at the moment of death. One of the most important traditional tasks of the seer, shaman, medicine man or woman is to assist people who are either dying or the spirits of those who have died to make the transition into great domain of consciousness. This body of practices is known as Psychopomp, from the Greek word psychopompos which literally means ‘conductor of souls’. In Greek mythology, the god Hermes served as the escort for the dead into the afterlife. This concept of a guide or intermediary between the living and the dead is a collective theme found in most religions and mythologies.
