Juan Nuņez del Prado;
Anthropologist and Kuraq akulleq (Andean Master).
Following his fathers steps, Oscar Nuņez del Prado, Juan Nuņez del Prado studied
anthropology at the Univesidad del Cuzco and specialized in the study of the
religious culture of the Q'eros community, direct descendants of the Incas. His
contact with this town made him abandon his atheism to initiate himself in the
Andean tradition. During more than 10 years he became an apprentice of Don
Benito Qoriwaman, famous Indian healer of the Cusco Valley, who through Hatun
Karpay (Great Initiation) converted him into bearer of this tradition. Since
then, and after receiving the teachings of great masters, such as Mr. Andres
Espinoza, he has acquired experience in the usage of different working methods
with the living energy (Kausay Pacha). A blessing that, following the principles
of Ayni (reciprocity law), he feels obliged to share and transmit.
Doņa Maria Apaza Machaca; Q'ero indianer. When she was 18, one day she
was walking in the mountains on her own looking for a lost llama when she heard
a big bang. She was hit by lightning and struck unconscious. When she woke up
she heard the voices of the Apus. She walked home and after a while she told her
parents about what had happened to her. Her father started initiating her at all
the Sacred Mountains. During her initiations she felt the Nusta Elogia and the
Apu Carbajal take her inside the earth and afterwards they made her fly around
the mountains. These two spirits are still with her now that she is an
Altomesayoq.
Don Alejandro Apaza; Q'ero indianer. He is Donna Maria's younger brother, and
is a Pampamesayok, well-known and respected in the Qero nation. Don Alejandro is
especially known for his strength of having passed most of the known Paqos
(priest healers) in the Qero Nation through the Karpays (initiations). He is
also known to be a very good coca leaf reader!
Don Umberto Sonco Quispe;
Q'ero indianer. At the age of 8
Umberto got seriously ill and his parents consulted high healers. The illness
was taken as a first indication that he should walk the path of Pampamesayoc or
Altomesayoc. As part of the healing an initiation and an apprenticeship were
started. A few years later Umberto was struck by lightning and the healers
recommended a second initiation. A personal turning point was when he with the
help of reading the coca leafs found a group of long lost llamas. From here on,
he learned to trust and grow his skills step-by-step. Don Umberto is also
lovingly called the Old Condor by his fellow shamans.
