While living in Mexico in the mid 90’s an apparition appeared to Don David Wiley, later to be recognized as the Spirit of Fire who asked him to become a shaman. Not that he was looking for this or knew what was implied in the role. However, he accepted because of the astonishing and undeniable miracle that was present before him
Traditional cultures throughout the Americas have long known Fire to be a wise and loving presence, and many Aboriginal and First Nations peoples call the Spirit of Fire Grandfather. During Fire Speaks audiences, traditional healer Don David Wiley lends his body so the Spirit of Fire can answer questions from those who come to hear His stories and wisdom.
Spending time with Grandfather Fire and his teachings about living life from Heart has helped thousands find clarity and courage and meet life’s challenges in a new way. Grandfather Fire is wise, funny, provoking, and profoundly insightful. Spending an evening with Him is a unique opportunity to ask your most pressing questions about life’s mysteries and deepen your connection with the sacred spirits of the natural world.

Check out this brief new video featuring Traditional Healer and Elder David Wiley as he explains the importance of knowing what it is to be a man in the world.
In this story there is a natural, mysterious world that exists before humanity arrives. We see echoes of this story in the sacred narratives of the indigenous peoples, and other spiritual traditions. At one time we were part of nature, just like the other animals, living in a primal wilderness like a garden of Eden, when something unusual happened that would change our way of life. In this story this “something” started and continued with our special relationship to Fire.
