For 800,000 years, Grandfather Fire has been a teacher, healer, and keeper of sacred stories. Known as Tatewari to the Wixáritari people, He speaks through the vessel of Don David Wiley, offering guidance that illuminates the soul.
This December, as the Firekeeping initiation reaches its sacred climax, the newly trained keepers will gather in the holy valley of Tepoztlán for a profound and intimate Audience with Him. The evening begins with Grandfather Fire’s wisdom shared openly with the public—stories that stir the spirit, answers that reshape the heart. Then, in a private ceremony, the initiates will kneel before the living flame as Tatewari acknowledges their journey, blesses their path, and declares their training complete.
This is no ordinary fire. This is the voice of ancient wisdom, the light that has guided humanity since the first spark.
“His answer helped me more than the answer I was expecting.”
“What you experience with Grandfather is like an education for your soul.”
Come witness the sacred. Come feel the fire’s embrace. And for those called to keep the flame—may this be the moment your service begins.
Fire speaks. Will you listen?
Public are welcome for the open Audience; Firekeeper initiation portion is private.
