Don Oscar Miro-Quesada Solevo is the originator of the Pachakuti Mesa
Tradition of cross-cultural shamanism and visionary founder of The Heart
of the Healer Foundation (THOTH). A respected kamasqa curandero and
altomisayoq adept from Peru, don Oscar's apprenticeship in northern
coastal huachuma curanderismo and initiation into the southeastern
Andean paqokuna shaman/priesthood, formally took place between the years
1969 and 1986.
His first immersion into the living soul and
mythic reality of Peruvian shamanism was under the uncompromising
tutelage of the famed huachumero don Celso Rojas Palomino from Salas, a
then small agricultural community near the city of Chiclayo. Don Oscar
accomplished his apprenticeship in northern coastal curanderismo
fulfilling the dual role of auxilio de mesada ("healing altar auxiliary"
or "ceremonial assistant") and rastrero ("clairvoyant
diagnostician"/"diviner"),
eventually becoming don Celso's segundo de
mando en banco ("second in command for curing sessions"), throughout the
winter months (June, July and August in the Southern Hemisphere) of
each yearuntil don Celso's untimely passing in July of 1982.
