In the Andean mystical tradition, the hummingbird is the messenger of the metaphysical God and the symbol of the conscious evolution of humanity. Like the paqos (practitioners of the Andean mystical tradition), they love sweetness and impart joyousness.

My name is Joan Parisi Wilcox. I have studied the Andean sacred arts for two decades and written a book, Masters of the Living Energy: The Mystical World of the Q’ero of Peru, about the tradition, preserving core aspects of it in the words of the masters themselves.

In this blog, my goal is to share the grace and power of this tradition and to let you know about opportunities to learn the Andean sacred arts. I welcome your comments, insights and questions.
