Over 10 years ago, the Tepoztlán Sacred Fire community asked Grandfather Fire for help during a troubling time.

He responded by gifting the people an annual protection ritual.

This ritual, which has its roots in the ancestral traditions of the Sacred Valley of Tepoztlán, invokes the energy of the local protector mountains for the benefit of those who live there—and also for the benefit of those who come from afar to participate.

No matter where you live, this ritual offers protection from harmful and disruptive influences.  Event attendees will have the option to take ceremonial ashes home to be used according to instructions given during the event.

Participate in this very special event, which is followed by the opportunity to sit with Grandfather Fire and receive guidance about your concerns.

Bring your questions. Grandfather Fire will offer counsel to everyone.

In difficult times throughout the Ages, the Spirit of Fire has spoken to people to offer a wisdom perspective and helpful counsel.

In some Indigenous cultures, when great imbalance exists and the need for community guidance is urgent, there are traditions in which an individual is chosen by a helpful Divine Spirit to be their voice so their guidance can be heard clearly.

Now is such a time.

In many of the traditional cultures in the Americas, the Spirit of Fire is known as “Grandfather Fire.” In the 1990s, this spirit chose a Huichol shaman, don David Wiley, to be his “god-speaker-man”. Since 1999, Grandfather Fire has been making appearances at Sacred Fire gatherings around the world to share a bigger view of existence, beyond what we see.

This broader perspective offers answers to today’s questions and points to a new way of being—which is actually the Old Way—of quieting the Mind so that the voice of Heart can lead one into a life of connection, purpose, and healthy relationships with ourselves, others and the natural world.

In a ceremonial setting, we invite Grandfather Fire to share his guidance.

Grandfather is wise, funny, provoking, and astonishingly insightful. An evening with the elemental spirit of Fire is an opportunity to ask our most pressing questions about the mysteries of life and to deepen our connection with the sacred. Being in Grandfather’s presence can inspire us to manifest deeper courage in meeting the challenges of our lives.
