SUMMARY:Firekeeping Call
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed specialized offering.\nHosted by Sacred Fire: Firekeeping.\nDon David Wiley: Guardian of the Ancient Flame\nA Life of Devotion to the Sacred Path of Firekeeping\nDon David Wiley was the very first person trained by Grandfather Fire to become a Firekeeper. Since that profound beginning\, he has played a central and irreplaceable role in rekindling the ancient practice of Firekeeping in the modern world. Guided directly by Grandfather Fire\, Don David has walked this sacred path with humility and unwavering dedication\, serving as the primary spiritual guide for those being called to answer Fire’s invitation. \nThrough decades of commitment\, Don David has helped shape the emergence of a living Firekeeping tradition that now spans multiple continents. His personal journey—marked by countless ceremonies\, initiations\, and spiritual challenges—has become the foundation upon which others are able to walk. He has trained\, initiated\, and mentored Firekeepers throughout the world\, offering spiritual support and guidance as they deepen their relationship with Fire and step into service within their own communities. \nThis entry honors the private time Don David sets aside to connect directly with Firekeepers—offering counsel\, wisdom\, and spiritual direction to help them navigate the challenges of this sacred responsibility. In an era where meaning is easily lost and connection is fleeting\, Firekeepers are asked to hold space for others in a way that is spiritually grounded\, emotionally aware\, and in communion with the sacred. Don David’s guidance is a vital source of strength and clarity for these individuals\, many of whom are serving their communities through monthly consecrated fire gatherings. \nFirekeeping is not simply a role; it is a lifelong path of service and transformation. Those called to it are entrusted with an ancient responsibility: to tend the sacred Fire that reminds us who we truly are\, and to keep alive a lineage of spiritual connection that has served humanity since time immemorial. \nThrough his ongoing mentorship\, Don David fulfills what Grandfather Fire asked of him: to help restore balance\, meaning\, and relationship to a decaying and disoriented modern society—not through doctrine\, but through direct experience\, sacred relationship\, and the heart-opening presence of consecrated Fire. \nTo learn more about the path of Firekeeping or to explore whether you are being called\, please contact Sacred Fire.

SUMMARY:GFF Recovery Day
DESCRIPTION:Don David is not available on this day.\nDon David Wiley as a Conduit of the God of Fire\nDon David Wiley serves as a powerful conduit of the God of Fire. During his intense work\, when Tatewarí takes control of his being\, he is swept into a transcendent state—his body’s temperature soars\, and he enters a trance-like condition reminiscent of a deep\, ceremonial sleep. Meanwhile\, Grandfather Fire spends the night offering his wisdom—constantly ingesting sacred hot cocoa and smoking sacred tabaco. In this state\, although Don David remains unharmed\, his physical body endures a heavy strain. \nWhen the night finishes and attendees leave\, his dedicated Recovery Team\, comprised of handpicked ritual support individuals\, plays a vital role. As the divine presence recedes and Grandfather departs from the physical realm\, this committed group guides Don David back into his body. The morning after the Grandfather Fires\, Don David awakens feeling discombobulated and spaced\, requiring time to reconnect with his extremities and regain a sense of physical presence. A strong hands-on therapeutic session and a day of focused recovery are key to shaking off the residual ethereal numbness\, allowing him to reestablish strength\, clarity\, and focus. \nThough Don David often jokes about the challenges of navigating our physical form—humor that echoes Grandfather Fire’s own playful jibes at human bodies when using Don David’s body as a vessel to speak to us during an audience—the recovery process remains an essential part of his work. It ensures that the extraordinary service he offers—allowing others to listen to the wisdom shared by the God of Fire—stays balanced and true\, ultimately enhancing the profound healing he brings to those he serves.

SUMMARY:Audience with Grandfather Fire: Tsantawu
DESCRIPTION:This is a closed specialized audience hosted by the Tsantawu Coincil.\nAudience with Grandfather Fire: \nA Sacred Dialogue for Alignment & Divine Intention\nThe Audience with Grandfather Fire is a sacred gathering held at the backend of the Tsantawu Spring and Fall Rituals. \nIt is not a time for preparation\, but rather a moment of profound confirmation\, ensuring that all that has been done during the Rituals is in alignment with Divine intentions. This sacred dialogue is the final act that bridges the human efforts from the people gathered to honor this sacred site\, with the will of  Divine. \nDuring this sacred audience\, Don David Wiley offers his body to Grandfather Fire\, allowing Tatewarí to speak directly through him. As the conduit for this powerful force\, Don David is taken to the “workshop” and\, in that moment\, relinquishes control\, knowing that what will unfold is entirely in the hands of Grandfather Fire. He cannot anticipate or prepare for what will be spoken\, as the communication is beyond human foresight. Only after the Ritual Pilot delivers the rundown the following day does Don David understand the guidance shared during the session. \nThe Audience with Grandfather Fire is a time to trust the work that has been done. It confirms that everything — the prayers\, offerings\, songs\, and rituals — was in alignment with the greater purpose. It is a moment of surrender\, a time to receive divine feedback and guidance that ensures the sacred work has been completed in harmony with the natural world and the spirits that guide us. \nThis special gathering offers closure and clarity\, affirming that the Council’s sacred acts of service\, gratitude\, and reverence have met the mark and that they are walking the path in right relationship with the elements\, the ancestors\, and Divine. \nIt is a deeply humbling and awe-inspiring moment\, one that reinforces their commitment to serving and restoring balance in the region around Stone Mountain\, Georgia. USA.
