Walking the Prophecy: How I Serve the Eagle and the Condor
There is an ancient prophecy shared by many Indigenous peoples of the Americas, often called The Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor. It speaks of a time when the world would become imbalanced—when the people of the Eagle (the North) would dominate with their intellect, technology, and systems, while the people of the Condor (the South) would live more in harmony with the Earth, guided by heart, intuition, and spiritual connection.
For generations, these paths moved apart. The Eagle flew high with reason, and the Condor flew low with feeling. But the prophecy tells us that one day, a new era would begin. An era where the Eagle and the Condor would fly together in the same sky—in unity, in balance, in peace.
I believe that day is now. And I am humbled to walk a path in service to this vision.
As a shaman rooted in the Western world, I carry the medicine of both. I was raised among the systems and structures of the Eagle, but my soul was always listening for the call of the Condor. I’ve walked through the initiations, received teachings from the seen and unseen realms, and remembered the ways of working with the Earth, the elements, and Spirit. I walk with both mind and heart, logic and mystery, body and energy.
My work is about helping others remember, not only who they are, but how to live in harmony again—with themselves, each other, and the living Earth. Whether through healing sessions, ceremonies, or group gatherings, I open spaces where people can feel safe enough to soften, to listen, to trust, and to reconnect.
To be a bridge between the worlds is not always easy—but it is sacred.
I honor the Indigenous wisdom keepers and teachers who continue to carry the Condor’s heart across time. I have been blessed to be initiated into the lineage of the Laika by the Q’ero shamans of the Andes, and I walk this path with deep reverence and humility. While I was born in the Western world, I carry the teachings and transmissions I’ve received with great care, offering them in a spirit of service. I do not claim to be of Indigenous blood, but I am committed to walking in integrity and honoring the lineages that guide my path.
My prayer is that through each offering I share, each story I tell, each heart I touch, the Eagle and Condor come a little closer—within us, between us, and across the Earth.
May we all find our wings.
