Not a manual · A remembering

A path walked sometimes crawling,
sometimes dancing

Voice of the Wind is not a doctrine and not a how-to. It is a gathering of stories, visions and lived truths — offered with deep respect to the plants, spirits and ancestral voices that guided the way through the visible and the invisible.

Plant Allies & Animal Spirits

The Amazon does not heal with chemistry alone. It heals through presences — the brown deer, the jaguar, the bee, the grandmother vine — each a teacher met in ceremony, on the page.

🌿

Yagé

Ayahuasca · The Medicine

The sacred brew of the Amazon. The first cup cleanses, the second heals, the third — sung over by the Taita — opens the doorways into realms beyond imagination.

🦌

Shanko

The Brown Deer · Healing Spirit

The little brown deer of the forest — pure medicine. When called, the rhythm of its hooves beats in cadence with your own heart and the healer's chant.

🐆

The Jaguar

Uku'wati A'í · Spirit of Power

The jaguar walks the night world of the ceremony. A protector, a force, a teacher of the fierce stillness needed to face fear without running.

🍃

Cannabis Mother

Plant Teacher · On Addiction

One of many plant spirits met on the path — woven through chapters on addiction, the root of suffering, and the long work of letting go.

🐸

Cambo & Hikuri

Kambô · Peyote · The Allies

From frog medicine to the desert cactus, the book maps a wider council of plant and animal allies — diets, dangers, and the gifts each one carries.

🌬️

Curupira

Guardian of the Forest

The trickster guardian of the wild. Among the invisible ones, the dreamed, and the bamboo people — the unseen company of every ceremony.

From Quechua: "Father"

The Taitas

The Master Medicine Men of the Colombian and Ecuadorian Amazon. Thirty years and more of drinking Yagé, of healing — grandfathers whose canto, the sacred chant received from the medicine, guides them through other realms.

The protection a true healer offers is everything — what separates a Master Medicine Man from someone merely facilitating a ceremony.

Dreaming · The Subconscious · Infinity

Through the Chakras,
Into the Inner Realms

Beyond the band of human thought lies the Dreaming — a dark space dotted with stars, and then the gate. Beyond it: the Realm of Crystalline Light, and Infinity.

Dreaming Through the Chakras

The book follows healing as it moves through the body and the spine — the web of light, the cleansing of dark energies, the long night of the soul, and the dawn that follows it.

And then the visions open. "I saw all around me — 360 degrees at once. An infinite expanse filled with rows upon rows of diamonds, curtains of shimmering crystalline light stretching without end."

This is the heart of the work: not learning, but remembering something we never truly forgot.

"
I am just one more voice carried by the wind — sometimes loud, sometimes quiet, sometimes lost in the trees. But if you listen with your heart, maybe you will recognise that the voice is not mine. It's yours. It's ours.

Read This First · With Respect

A Book, Not a Prescription

This is a memoir — honour it as one.

Voice of the Wind shares one man's lived experience. It is not medical advice, not a guide to preparing or taking any plant, and not an invitation to practise alone. Ayahuasca and other sacred plants can heal — and can also destabilise. They are worked with safely only within authentic ceremony, with a true Taita or healer, and with proper screening and aftercare.

The book holds space for

  • The honest reality of fear, doubt & purging
  • Respect for Indigenous lineage & consent
  • Integration as the real work — not the high
  • Healing through your humanity, not above it

Please seek guidance if

  • You live with serious mental or heart conditions
  • You take medication (MAOI interactions are real)
  • You are in early addiction recovery or crisis
  • You are curious about ceremony — find genuine elders
A Remembering of Something
We Never Really Forgot

We are all wanderers in an endless Universe — an eternal dance of Light and Shadows. We are the very Source, experiencing itself in endless ways.
