Juan Ortiz Bautista Maraakame

Shaman, Spiritual Guide

He is an heir to the millennia-old Mexican Wixárika tradition. He was born in San Andres Coameata. He dedicated himself to the path of the mara'akame at the age of 13. At the age of 25 he began to travel and offer ceremonies. At 33 he was able to crystallise energy and give healing sessions combined with crystallisation. He has visited Europe twice in recent years.

He maintains the vision of sharing Hikuri medicine with the rest of the world and keeping these ancient traditions alive. The title of mara'akame (man of medicine and sacred prayers) was awarded to him through the elders of his community in Guadalupe.
