Grandfather May actívated his kundalini energy with a crystal skull. For many years he attended hundreds of ceremonies with some Cofan tribe taitas from Colombia, and his path then led him to the Amazon jungle in Putumayo, Colombia, where in 2021, he received a special blessing from the great Taita Querubin, a 108-year-old spiritual elder known as a guardian of wisdom.
