TENDING FIRE
with
Lawrence I. Messerman, Ph.D.
Tending the flames of the Wixárika shamanic tradition to provide healing & wisdom.
I'm Lawrence Messerman (also known as K'kame or Shooting Arrow in Wirárika), and I'm an initiated mara'akame or healer and ritual leader in the Wirárika (Huichol) tradition from the western Sierra Madre mountains and canyons of Mexico. Here you see me in my ceremonial clothing or traje.
In the Wirárika tradition, we love vibrant colors–which are inspired by peyote visions, and are captured in trajes as well as the yarn painting you see in the background here.
This website is designed to help you get to know me better and to explore the power and possibility offered by the Wirárika traditional healing work that I offer.
I am part of Grupo Tatewarí or Grandfather Fire Medicine Group–with is an extension of a lineage based in San Andrés de Cohmiata in Jalisco. You can read more of my background in the About Me page.
Why Fire is so central to the traditional shamanic healing work that I offer.
