Oscar Miro-Quesada Solevo is a respected kamasqa curandero and altomisayoq adept from Peru, founder of The Heart of the Healer (THOTH) and originator of Pachakuti Mesa Tradition™ cross-cultural shamanism, serving as an internationally acclaimed shamanic teacher and healer, earth-honoring ceremonialist and author who is OAS Fellow in Ethnopsychology and member of the Evolutionary Leaders Circle and Birth 2012 Welcoming Committee, having guided ethno-spiritual pilgrimages to sacred sites worldwide since 1986 with special emphasis on Peru and Bolivia. Dedicating his life to the revitalization of aboriginal wisdom traditions as a means of restoring sacred trust between humankind and the natural world, don Oscar is a popular faculty member at The Shift Network and educational centers in the USA and abroad, serving as a seasoned navigator of non-ordinary states of consciousness prepared to help people from all walks of life access realms of Being through which multidimensional powers and forces are available for healing self, others and the planetary ecosystem as a whole, with his ceremonial work and shamanic apprenticeship programs featured on Sounds True, CNN, Univision, A&E, Discovery Channel and The History Channel’s Ancient Aliens. Famed for his ritual mastery in Peruvian kamasqa and altomisayoq shamanic lineages, don Oscar’s apprenticeship in northern coastal huachuma curanderismo formally took place between 1969 and 1986, beginning with uncompromising tutelage under famed huachumero don Celso Rojas Palomino from Salas, where he fulfilled the dual role of auxilio de mesada (“healing altar auxiliary”) and rastrero (“clairvoyant diagnostician”), eventually becoming don Celso’s segundo de mando en banco (“second in command for curing sessions”) until the maestro’s passing in July 1982. Less than a month later, don Oscar serendipitously entered a four-year apprenticeship within the southeastern Andean Paqo tradition with famed kuraq akulleq don Benito Corihuamán Vargas from Wasao, receiving his musqochiwarqa qallariy transmission as altomisayoq in November 1985, seven months before don Benito’s passing in June 1986. Days before his earthly passing, don Celso sanctioned don Oscar with a ‘compacto de voz y palabra’ (traditional orally transmitted bequeath to serve as kamasqa lineage carrier), requesting he carry “the prophetic vision of our Ancient Ones” among Western acculturated nations as the only way of safeguarding the soul-animated inner wisdom of earth-centered spiritual traditions from further usurpation and destructive misuse, leading don Oscar to nurture the worldwide emergence of heartfelt earth-honoring sacred communities where Pachakuti Mesa Tradition™ would blossom as a soul-infused vehicle for deep personal healing and beneficent evolutionary global transformation, thus fulfilling the noble intentions of both venerable elders who bequeathed him the task of preserving their Heart Island (South America) shamanic ways as a seven-generation legacy of healing service to the world.
Why their voice matters: Don Oscar serves as an authorized bridge between ancient Peruvian shamanic lineages and contemporary Western seekers, carrying the explicit mandate of his maestros to share these traditions globally as an antidote to spiritual commodification, while demonstrating how ceremonial earth-honoring practices can facilitate personal healing and collective transformation through reverent engagement with non-ordinary states of consciousness and multidimensional realms of healing power.
