Elizabeth Jenkins
1989. Eine junge Frau verläßt San Francisco. Zurück bleiben: ein Job an einer Klinik, ihre Doktorarbeit, Familie, Freunde und ihr Verlobter. Jahrelang war die Psychotherapeutin Elizabeth Jenkins den rationalen Denkmustern unserer Welt gefolgt. Das Gefühl innerer Leere, die nagenden Fragen nach dem Sinn des Daseins konnte sie damit nicht stillen. Nun ist sie unterwegs. Nach Peru. In der alten Andenstadt Cuzco, dem mythisch-magischen Zentrum der Inka, will sie traditionelle Heilmethoden studieren. Aber in Wahrheit sucht sie gültige Antworten. Erstmals vertraut sie nur ihrer Intuition - und wird fündig. Ein kleiner Zirkel Eingeweihter öffnet ihr den Zugang zur Mystik der Anden, zu den Apus, den Berggeistern, die sie insgeheim gerufen hatten. Aus Elizabeth wird die erste weibliche Novizin auf dem geheimnisumwobenen spirituellen 'Pfad der Anden'. Eine Priesterin in der ältesten heiligen Tradition der Welt, eine Künderin verschollener Naturgeheimnisse und lange vergessener Bewußtseinsebenen.
Kinder der Mitte. Die Q'ero-Indianer
Thomas Müller & Helga Müller-Herbon
Q'ero ist eine indianische Gemeinde in den peruanischen Anden. Ihre Bewohner erzählten Thomas Müller und Helga Müller-Herbon ihre Mythen und Märchen, Fabeln und Geschichten. In ihrem Buch geben sie die Welterfahrung des indianischen Volkes wieder. "Häufig zeigen wir ein Portrait des Erzählers in Verbindung mit seiner Geschichte, denn auch sein Gesicht sagt etwas ans über die Person, deren Erfahrungen der Erzählung ihre individuelle Prägung verleihen. Wir glauben, daß gerade das Zusammenwirken von Text und Fotografie einen tiefen und umfassenden Eindruck von den Menschen untl ihrer Welt vermittelt.".
Thomas Müller und Helga Müller-Herbon haben mehrere Jahre mit den Q'ero-Indianern in den Anden zusammengelebt. Mein Lehrer, Juan Nunez del Prado, hat Thomas Müller kennengelernt und von ihm und dessen Buch erzählt.
Qero. Auf den Spuren der Q'ero-Indianer in die magische Welt der Anden
Americo Yabar, Orlando Vásquez, Antonio Vásquez
Deutsch & Spanisch
Dieses Buch ist das Ergebnis einer langen, in die tiefe vordringenden Reise mit den Paqos, den Schamanen der Hochlandgemeinde Q'ero, die gleichzeitig Ärzte, Priester und Heilkundige sind. Gemeinsam reisten wir (Anm: Die Autoren) und riefen die Geistwesen der Natur um das Kausay, die Lebensenergie unseres Volkes, an, dass das Licht des Kosmos alle Lebewesen erleuchte, die zur Ukhu Pacha, der Welt des Unten und Vergangenen, gehören; zur Kay Pacha, unserer gegenwärtigen Welt, und zur Hanaq Pacha, der Welt der Sterne, des Überirdischen. In beständigem Wechselspiel bringen diese drei Welten die Lebensenergie hervor, die das andine Universum durchströmen.
Dieses Buch ist das Ergebnis einer langen, in die tiefe vordringenden Reise mit den Paqos, den Schamanen der Hochlandgemeinde Q'ero, die gleichzeitig Ärzte, Priester und Heilkundige sind.

Joan Parisi Wilcox
Known as the "keepers of the ancient knowledge" the Q'ero Indians of Peru are the most respected mystics of the south-central Andes. In 1996 Joan Parisi Wilcox travelled to the Andes and was able to record the mysteries of the Kawsay Pacha, the multidimensional world of living energy, through more than 40 hours of intensive interviews with six Q'ero paqos, masters of the ancient spiritual traditions of Peru. The Q'ero are known for having preserved the Inca spiritual tradition more precisely than any other indigenous population of the Andes. The in-depth interviews presented in this book recount the direct words of these masters so readers can discover for themselves the mind and heart space of these people. Four new chapters of this revised edition focus on the work of the mesa, the Andean form of a spiritual medicine bundle, and it's use as a conduit for the healing energies of nature. The mesa is called the "heart's fire" because it represents the finest energy - the energy of compassion - that a paqo cultivates while walking the sacred path.

Journey to Q'eros
Golden Cradle of the Inka
Elizabeth Jenkins
Jenkins continues the rivetting true-life account of her initiation into the Andean Mystical Tradition as she leads a group of initiates to where the High Andes meet the Amazon jungle. Here at 15,000 feet, in the tiny isolated villages of Q'eros, the group is tested to the limit as they encounter their deepest fears and greatest hopes on their way to meet the living descendants of the Inkas. In the ancient Inka village of Choa Choa where "...smiling sacred brown-eyed people, living on the edge of time, invite you into their stone houses and serve you tea..." they pass their first test and meet Don Manuel Q'espi, High Priest of Q'eros.
Andean Awakening: An Incan Guide to Mystical Peru
Jorge Luis Delgado
It is an extraordinary time to be alive, as a long-foretold alignment of the Earth with the axis of the Milky Way galaxy announces a new dawn. In Peru, descendants of the Inca call this time the Pachakuti, 'the return of the light' after 500 years of darkness. Peru is said to be the "morning of the new sun" - the portal through which rays of the new light will begin to awaken humanity to a new consciousness.
In this illustrated guidebook, Jorge Delgado takes the reader on a trip of discovery through the most powerful and mystical places on earth - Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca and the magical Inca doorway of Aramu Muru.
The Secret of the Incas: Myth, Astronomy, and the War Against Time
William Sullivan
Sullivan, a scholar of Native American cultures, begins with a question that has perplexed historians of the Spanish conquest: How could the vast Inca Empire, with its millions of subjects, have been conquered overnight by a band of 170 Spanish adventurers? Sullivan digs into the history and mythology of Andean civilization to find what he feels is the answer: For hundreds of years the sages of the Andes had believed that astronomical transitions presaged earthly cataclysms; reading changes in the night skies in the 1400s, Incan priest-astronomers foretold the imminent destruction of their own recently founded empire. Sullivan argues, in a sometimes hyperbolic first-person account (``In that moment I had, I believed, touched for an instant the terrible burden and tragic urgency of the Inca vision''), that the Incas followed the planets, recorded precessional events in their myths, and equated social and celestial changes. He further asserts that elements in Incan culture preceding Pizarro's arrival--constant warfare and the Incan ritual of human sacrifice--represented an attempt to halt the march of time and prevent the apocalyptic events foreshadowed by changes in the night sky. The Incas assumed that the arrival of Pizarro represented the culmination of the prophecy and the failure of their own efforts to prevent its occurrence.
The Incas (Peoples of America)
Terence N. D'Altroy
An illustrated and accessible yet scholarly account of the Inca empire, for the general reader and undergraduate level students. Revising the earlier view that the Inca civilisation spanned only a single century, the world's leading specialist argues that the Inca state lasted two centuries or more. 80 maps and numerous colour photographs.
There have been many syntheses of the Inca culture of the Central Andes of South America, but this one, by the leader in Inca studies, surpasses them all. D'Altroy is recognised as an outstanding and well-published scholar on the provinces of the Inca Empire. I highly recommend this excellent synthesis of Inca studies ... for its comparative empire insights ... its smooth and lively narrative style and for the critical discussion of the abundant historical and archaeological sources on the Inca empire.

Rituals of Respect: The Secret of Survival in the High Peruvian Andes
Inge Bolin
Inge Bolin, an anthropologist, applies her scholary research in the Peruvian Andes to produce a text that is a contribution to cultural anthropology. Her respect for the peoples of Chillihuani, who live on the margins of human habitation in the high Andes, and her enthusiasm for learning are reflected in her writing style. Combining an academic as well as a personal approach to writing is difficult; Bolin has succeeded in both spheres.
Dearest Waiki: Love Letters to an Andean Mystic
Marilyn Markham
Dearest Waiki, a collection of letters and stories is an intimate account of one woman’s spiritual journey. Markham's message is sometimes delightful, sometimes heartbreaking, and always uplifting. Underscored by deeply personal visions and dreams, Dearest Waiki creates an awareness of the many spiritual lessons that surround each of us, each and every moment.
Growing Up in a Culture of Respect: Child Rearing in Highland Peru
Inge Bolin
Far from the mainstream of society, the pastoral community of Chillihuani in the high Peruvian Andes rears children who are well-adjusted, creative, and curious. They exhibit superior social and cognitive skills and maintain an attitude of respect for all life as they progress smoothly from childhood to adulthood without a troubled adolescence. Inge Bolin traces children's lives from birth to adulthood and finds truly amazing strategies of child rearing, as well as impressive ways of living that allow teenagers to enjoy the adolescent stage of their lives while contributing significantly to the welfare of their families and the community.
Lambert M. Surhone
Q'ero is a Quechua community or ethnic group in the province of Paucartambo, in the Cusco Region of Peru. The Q'ero became more widely known due to the 1955 ethnological expedition of Dr. Oscar Nuñez del Prado of the San Antonio Abad National University in Cusco, after which the myth of the Inkarrí was published for the first time. Nuñez del Prado first met the Q'ero on a festival in town of Paucartambo (about 120 km away). The Q'ero live in one of the most remote places in the Peruvian Andes. Nevertheless, a hacienda was established there in colonial times. The hacienda's owners were banished in 1963, and since then the whole area has belonged to the Q'ero. The ground is not very fertile, and the Q'ero live in modest dwellings. They often live in one-room houses not larger than 20 m², made of clay and natural stone with roofs of hard grass. The area stretches over several climates, with elevations from under 1800 m to over 4500 m. Depending on the climatic zone, maize (corn) and potatoes may be grown, while in high areas llamas are kept. Fields are plowed with a type of foot-plow (chaki taklla).

A Walk Between Worlds, Truth Is Beauty, the Q'ero
Denise A. Kinch
Explore the cultural traditions of the Q’ero Mountain people from their perspective. They have lived in remote elevations in the Andes Mountains since pre-Inca times. This isolation from the modern world has created a powerful community, honoring the value of each individual as an integral part of the whole. They are a living example of ‘being’ the balance between Heaven and Earth. Their Elder and Leader Don Manuel Quispe speaks through the voice of author Denise Kinch to offer us insight into their community, family and spirituality. His aim was to clear up misconceptions about his people before he passed from this world. Manuel crossed over in Dec of 2004 and asked Denise to fulfill this quest. This is the story of the master weavers, and how they have woven their relationship with the universe into the fabric of their being, in harmony with all their relations.
