"Transformer of the World" — The Crystal Skull of the ancient Incas

Upon becoming Inca emperor in 1471 A.D., Pachacutec was presented with a crystal skull known as the Paypicala. This “Transformer of the World” was a family heirloom handed down over the generations from Con-Tiki-Viracocha, or “Sea Foam,” the red-haired culture-bearer from a terrific flood, who appeared at Lake Titicaca, where he established Andean Civilization sometime in the ancient past. About three-thousand years ago, the lake began to dry up, or some seismic event more suddenly withdrew Titicaca’s shores to their present twelve-miles from Tiahuanaco.

In either case, the Paypicala was transferred to the city of Cusco, literally, the “Navel of the World,” and installed at the center of a Maltese Cross design marking the convergence of the four cardinal directions. It was housed in the Incas’ most “Holy Place,” the Huacapata, surrounded by a larger structure, the Coricancha, or “The Enclosure of Gold,” also known as the Inticancha, “The Enclosure of the Sun.” A priestess alone inside the Huacapata would enter into a deep trance-state, allowing her consciousness to resonate with energy given off by the “power stone," thereby “channeling” the gods for oracular advice.

In the “Transformer of the World,” Pachacutec envisioned the future greatness of his dynasty — and the end of time. Thus reconciled to fate, Pachacutec raised the most famous site of its kind — Machu Picchu. After his death, the mountain citadel was given to the Accla Cuna as their sacred retreat. These “Little Mothers,” or “Chosen Women” were selected from all over the Inca Empire for their high intelligence and powerful psychic talents. They comprised a privileged elite, a living library of all the high wisdom of Andean Civilization, because, like the European Druids, writing was forbidden. The Accla Cuna were also given charge of the Paypicala. It disappeared with their forced conversion to Christianity after the Spanish Conquest during the early 15th Century.

Now, after five hundred years, the Inca crystal skulls are gradually re-emerging, as 2012 rapidly approaches. Today, visitors to Machupicchu Pueblo pass a monumental statue of Pachacutec on their way to his sacred city, where the Accla Cuna were once custodians of the “Transformer of the World.” © Frank Joseph

PROGRAM PURPOSE

By locating this gathering of Crystal Skull Keepers, transformational teachers, healers and native Peruvian shamans at a key power place of the planet, it will allow participants to open to the cosmic power and ancient wisdom here at this energy vortex. We intend to set the stage to:

  • Provide participants experiences available only on-site with the lost wisdom and spiritually transformative power of ancient Peru. We will explore the ancient wisdom and the innermost meanings of this extraordinary land.
  • Give all program attendees once-in-a-lifetime experiences in coming together with others of like mind from throughout the world.
  • Offer knowledge, insights, and most importantly, experiences that can enhance your own growth processes and assist you as you pursue your own personal journey. © 2010 Power Places Tours, Inc.

PROGRAM SITES

Cusco, Holy City of the Incas
Machu Picchu, the Legendary "Lost City of the Incas"

The program takes place at two spectacular sites, Cusco, the center of the ancient Incan civilization and majestic Machu Picchu. Cusco, elevation 11,400 feet, Holy City of the Incas, is the oldest inhabited city in the Western hemisphere. When the Spaniards arrived here, the beauty of its edifices, surpassing all they had yet seen in the New World, astonished them. Gold, in the form of intricate religious symbols and artifacts, was seen everywhere.

Our stay in Cusco is centrally located, making it easy to enjoy this wonderful town where ancient, original Incan walls and cobblestone streets blend with colonial Spanish architecture.

The program continues at the legendary golden city of Machu Picchu, ingeniously located on a narrow saddle of nearly inaccessible mountains in the heart of a semi-tropical forest. It is vertically invisible from the valley floor below and stayed hidden, a closely guarded secret for over four hundred years, until its discovery by Hiram Bingham in 1911. This ancient ceremonial center consists of more than two hundred buildings, including numerous temples and altars constructed in terraces and connected by stairways carved from solid rock set in a spectacular setting within a 360-degree ring of mountain peaks. The Spaniards never found this "Holy City" of the Incas and the energy at this sacred site remains very powerful even today. © 1991 Power Places Tours, Inc.

PROGRAM FORMAT
"Pancho"

There will be presentations, meditations and seminars with Crystal Skull Keepers and leading transformational teachers and healers, many of them experiential, all of them informative. There will also be meetings interspersed with experiential visits to local power places and ancient sites.

You are invited to bring your crystal skulls, crystals and other ceremonial objects with you to participate in the meditations and ceremonies to take place throughout the event.

Your days will be a collage of inspiring presentations, round table discussions and dialogue, and meditations and prayer in the powerful presence of the ancient mysteries of Peru. There will be an offering of optional personal sessions with Crystal Skull Keepers and healers during this conference. This is a golden opportunity for one-on-one consultations that can be truly transformational.

Day 4/Nov. 3: Visit to nearby Pachacamac whose name means Lord of Earthquakes, an arqueological citadel and sacred ceremonial site. Pachacamac is an impressive Inca sanctuary which is considered, along with Cusco, to be the main place of worship in pre-Hispanic Peru. A large adobe bricks-constructed Inca structure (200AC) and an expansive, impressive introduction to the never-ending ruins of Peru, Pachacamac is surrounded by various monuments, with temples, great pyramid, small palaces and carefully restored houses, and a spacious museum exhibiting gold artifacts, ceramics and textiles used by the ancient Peruvians. Pachacamac is best known for its durable regional and pan-Andean religious significance and is often characterized as the preeminent religious center of coastal Peru.

Star Sirius Crystal Skull

Day 5/Nov. 4: Today travel to Urubamba Valley, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, with high peaks of the Andes surrounding it. With the nourishing waters of the Urubamba River sweeping through on the way to mist-enshrouded Machu Picchu, it is no wonder that the ancient Incas made this valley their home. The Incas belief was that the gods live in these mountains. Take the rest of the day to relax, acclimate, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Ollantaytambo
Ollantaytambo

Day 6/Nov. 5: Today visit the ancient town of Ollantaytambo. This important site is situated at the end of the Sacred Valley in the midst of spectacular mountains, and we will take a while to savor their inner power and majesty. Ollantaytambo is most famous for six enormous stones so huge that some say only magical powers could have moved them there. If time allows, you will have the opportunity to browse in the colorful shops and Town Square of present-day Ollantaytambo which adjoins the ruins of the ancient city.

Then travel to the ancient Incan Village of Chincero, where the terraced farmlands of the Incas are still visible. Chincero was the main population center for the entire Sacred Valley in Incan times and today an active traditional “weaving" center. Later join a Peruvian Shaman who will do an ancient Incan ceremony and welcome blessing with the group.
Pisac
Pisac

Day 7/Nov. 6: Visit and share in a prayer ceremony at the ancient ruins of Pisac, a superb Incan center high on the mountainside. Pisac covers an entire mountain and is located in a spectacular surrealistic mountain setting with a variegated green carpet of intact Incan terraces flowing up to the peaks. The temples here blend perfectly with their environment. The most sacred temple contains the famous “Intihuatana” stone, or “Hitching Post of the Sun.” This is speculated to have been a solar clock and astronomical and astrological calendar as well as a prayer site.

Day 8/Nov. 7: Travel to Cusco to join the main conference group arriving today. (See “Crystal Skulls International Conference” itinerary.)

This skull has a very powerful connection to the higher dimensional energies of the Lemurians here at Mt Shasta. It's many ceremonies held on Shasta has fully activated this skull and made that connection.

You will learn the Sastun Prayer and how to care for your newly activated skull. You will leave excited and filled with a new purpose and JOY!

Patrice MartyPatrice Marty - Since his childhood he drew skulls without knowing why. As a teenager, in a book when he discovered the crystal skull to Mitchell-Hedges, it was a revelation! In 2004, in Holland he met the ancient Crystal Skull Max. From that moment, he has reconnected with the energy of ancient skulls. He then understood why the crystal skulls have been with him always.

In 2004, he became the caretaker of a contemporary crystal skull that is connected to Sirius, and later four ancient skulls from : Mexico, Mongolia, Egypt and Peru. It is crystal skull Sirius (8,100 kg)that spent time with the most ancient skulls: Mitchell-Hedges, Max, Sha Na Ra, Synergy, Batz Kin ...

Today he travels the world with Sirius to: Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Bolivia, and the USA. He has studied the phenomena of Crop Circles in England for over 20 years and has visited them for seven years to better understand and feel them.

He is the organizer of the Crystal Skulls Festival in France, whale and dolphin experiences, and much more, plus travel Initiatory, lecturer and author of the Oracle of the Crystal Skulls.

Steve RosleySteve Rosley - Crystal Skulls Keeper. Sixteen years ago, Steve had a customer named Gene who wanted crystal skulls of the best quality. Steve purchased a few for Gene and was also offered a group of 3 quartz crystal skulls, one smoky, one clear and one citrine. Steve really connected to the clear one which he decided to keep; he called it SHR. Gene returned to the store and made an offer for SHR that Steve could not refuse and he sold it to Gene. In late 2006, Steve received a call from a man in Oregon who asked if he would be interested in purchasing a collection of minerals and skulls as his brother had died and left the collection to him. Steve saw the collection and realized that it was Gene's collection and that it was Gene who had died. Steve ended up buying many of the skulls in the collection, however, did not purchase SHR. On his way back home he thought about SHR and how we all have a Universal Library Card; we can check things out of the library, and when we "check out", everything goes back the Universal Library for someone else to check out.

When Steve returned home he realized he had purchased 13 Crystal Skulls. This is the number of ancient crystal skulls it takes to create the portal to the other realities. There was an auction of part of the collection the following May and while the large skull - SHR - called to Steve, it was not included in the auction. On July 23, Steve went to the final auction for Gene's collection and purchased the skull SHR. Back in Chicago, his hometown, he meditated with it and asked it what it would like to be called. The answer: Star Sirius. Steve's soul mate Sharyl Noday told him that July 23rd was the date Sirius is closest to the earth for 55 days (the Dog Days of Summer.) Since then Steve has had Star Sirius surrounded with Selenite to clear it of all negative energy and to bring white light into it. The skull has been on the earth plane for millions and millions of years and has wonderful energy. As you place your hands on each of it's temples and close your eyes, off you go! Star Sirius is like a spiritual shortwave radio as you tune into your own station of information. It will take you out of this world and into another realm.

Steve is owner of Rosley's Rocks and Gems and the Crystalmaster's Crystal Gallery, featuring the largest selection of crystals and minerals in Chicagoland.

She believes that all people have the ability to use their intuitive gifts to better their lives.

When June is not doing readings or teaching classes on Intuition, Meeting Your Guides or Self-Esteem in the Psychic World, she is planning her bi-annual Women’s Retreat for the Soul. Everyone who encounters June’s warm personality wants to be her next best friend, and even if you do not ask her, she will embrace you as she has so many before you, knowing that her healing energy is just another one of her many gifts.

In 2006 June was visited by a group of Angels during a meditation. They instructed her to create a group, later to be known as “The Gathering Light.” They announced themselves as “Aurora Angelus” which she later discovered meant, “Angels of the First Light of Dawn”. As Founder and Spiritual Leader of "The Gathering Light, Ltd.", June has hosted hundreds of like- minded intuitive people, at the bi-monthly gatherings where everyone is encouraged to move outside the encumbrances of everyday life and expand themselves in the ethers, gathering insights for their fellow explorers of "The Light".

After extensive research and deliberation, she is in the process of creating the "Alternative Health Awareness Center Ltd.,” a non-profit organization, which will offer the community, education in total self care under one roof, as a compliment to traditional healthcare modalities.
