About the Author

Hello, My name is Marco Cabrera. I am a healer, and a warrior, and recently taking every step I can take towards becoming a shaman of the Peruvian lineage have completed my Pampamasayoq (Tender of the Earth Spirits) as well as my Altamasayoq (Tender of the Mountain Spirits) and am now considered a Paq’o (or a shaman of the Q’ero people (Pre-Christian Peruvian lineage)).

Claire and me
My wife and I. (I’m the one with the beard)

Religion and Spirituality are not the same thing.  As far as religion, I am a Unitarian Universalist.  As far as spirituality, I am somewhere on the pagan spectrum.  I consider myself a Pantheist .  I see a God (the Royal, Gender non-specific God), or an aspect of God in everything.  And one of the gifts given to me, perhaps leading to my path of Shamanism, is that I can speak with the Gods, Goddesses, spirits, energies, and the dead.  Please note here that Shamanism is NOT a religion, it is a job.

I, myself, truly value science. So when I started to really dive into my spirituality (I fought it for a very long time) I decided that I would figure out a way for it not to sound crazy.  So I also dove deep into science. And when the more I learned about both Quantum and Astrophysics, the more confirmation I find in my spirituality.

Another note, I don’t take myself too seriously.  I try to be humble, I know I make mistakes, and I definitely offend people.  But, I feel that the more I learn and the more I do in learning about Shamanism, the more I help the people around me.

Good luck in your own searches.

I would also like to take a moment and thank those who have helped keep me stay sane though this.

Special Thanks to:

My Wife, Claire.

He is a very gifted communicator and has a broad knowledge of spirit and is very intelligent in his way of partnering with the unseen world to create balance and beneficial outcomes. ” — Elon
“My experience with Marco Cabrera as a shaman has been one of positivity, healing, and growth. Marco has done energy and healing work for both myself and my infant daughter, and each time I have seen and felt great improvement. From injuries, to pregnancy – and in my daughter’s case, acid reflux that was causing her great discomfort and inhibiting her sleep – Marco’s ability to share his gifts has made a marked difference physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I feel blessed to have him in our lives as a spiritual touchstone and friend.” — Sarah
