This powerful process comes with great risk, as he channels sacred wisdom from Divine to share with others.

Audience with Grandfather Fire – A Sacred Opening
As part of the Fall Harvest Tsantawu Festival, this private gathering marks the beginning of the Ritual Team’s work. Held on the first full workday, the Audience with Grandfather Fire provides direct guidance from Divine, offering insight and wisdom to ensure the ceremony aligns with the greater needs of the land, the elements, and the spiritual forces at play. During this time, Don David Wiley fully surrenders to Grandfather Fire, who speaks through him while he is “sent to the workshop.” The messages received remain pure and unfiltered, with Don David only learning of them the following day from the Ritual Pilot. Following the Audience, the Ritual Team have a full day to integrate Grandfather’s words, ensuring they step into their sacred service with clarity, alignment, and purpose.
