Why Lineage Matters
What it means to walk in right relationship with the wisdom that shaped me.
There are stories we inherit, and stories we choose.
This one is both.
For years, I was hesitant to speak openly about my lineage.
Not because I was unsure of it, but because I was protecting it.
I feared being misunderstood, judged, or accused of claiming what wasn’t “mine.”
But the truth is: this path claimed me.
And staying silent began to feel more extractive than reverent.
So today, I speak—not to prove anything, but to honor everything.
I speak because lineage matters.
Because in a time when ancient wisdom is commodified, cherry-picked, or stripped of context, choosing to name and honor the roots I walk upon is not a luxury—it’s a responsibility.
I walk a path rooted in remembrance—not appropriation.
The work I share is not borrowed, branded, or performed. It is lived. It is earned. It is born of blood, bone, fire, and years of sacred apprenticeship.
I carry the mitochondrial memory of ancient European matriarchs—through the rare haplogroup H31, a lineage that has walked the forests, mountains, and mystic rites of northern and eastern Europe.
My paternal lineage traces to the Uí Néill dynasty of Ireland, descendants of Niall of the Nine Hostages—warrior-kings and spiritual stewards of the land.
From these roots rise the codes of sovereignty, shadow alchemy, and ancestral reverence.
🌿 Why This Blog Needed to Be Written
I didn’t wake up one day and decide to become a spiritual teacher. I was called, cracked open, initiated, broken, and remade by the traditions that shaped me.
I’ve watched the spiritual marketplace offer watered-down versions of powerful medicines without honoring the lineages they came from.
I’ve felt the ache of cultures being mined for meaning by those unwilling to do the soul work of remembrance.
And I’ve sat in ceremony with elders who wept, not because their teachings were shared—but because they were shared without reverence.
So I’m writing this now to draw a sacred line.
Not to gatekeep. Not to grandstand. But to model what it means to be in right relationship with the wisdom that heals us.
🌹 The Maternal Line: Rose & Royalty
Through my maternal bloodline, I share ancestry with Marie Antoinette.
A lineage of beauty, power, and tragedy. This isn’t about claiming monarchy. It’s about understanding the medicine of the Rose: its grace, its thorns, its ability to die and bloom again.
The Rose Line is sacred to me. It pulses through my womb and my work. It reminds me that softness is not submission, that devotion is power, and that sometimes the crown is invisible, worn in the way we rise after falling.
🛡 The Paternal Line: Fire & Foundation
My paternal line carries the fire of protectors, builders, and silent warriors.
It is rooted in haplogroup R-M269, tied to Niall of the Nine Hostages—an Irish high king whose story lives somewhere between myth and blood.
These men were not kings in castles. They were survivors. They passed down resilience disguised as grit, love disguised as labor. And they taught me—by what they couldn’t say—that power without tenderness becomes armor, not medicine.
🐆 The Toltec Line
My journey with Jaguar medicine began in 2012, under the guidance of the Ruiz family—
Don Miguel, Don Jose, Don Miguel Jr., and HeatherAsh Amara. Through them, I entered a sacred apprenticeship in Toltec Dreamwork, the Eagle Knight Lineage of Mother Sarita, learning to walk between worlds, rewrite unconscious agreements, and track the shadow with love, not fear.
This lineage isn’t something I perform. It’s something I live. It has cost me illusions, comfort, and certainty. And it has returned to me a fierce remembering.
🪶 The Condor & The Eagle
My path has also been shaped by the Incan wisdom of don Jorge Luis Delgado, who taught me the prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor—that one day the masculine and feminine, the North and South, the seen and unseen would fly together again.
I believe we are living in that time now.
"We return to the culture of the light not as followers of a lineage, but as living expressions of it.
The great Amautas, were the philosophers, the mystics, the ones who brought that lineage into the culture of the light.
And the birthplace of the culture of the light is the sacred Titicaca in Peru, that once was called Uyneymarca which means the eternal city, where the eternal beings live.
You, me, and everybody is eternal as our home.
That is our place, where we remember each other.
Our eternal self, it's the same to say, the Wilka, the divine self, the sacredness of life, light, the sun, the eternal light.” -Jorge Luis Delgado
🌕 Why I’m Speaking Now
Because sacred silence is one thing.
But spiritual secrecy, when rooted in fear, becomes disconnection.
We must know who we are.
We must own who we are.
We must remember who walks with us.
And we must name our teachers—not for validation, but for veneration.
(reverence and respect)
This isn’t about purity. It’s about presence. It’s about walking with integrity—not perfection.
It’s about holding the medicine with both hands and saying,
“I did not make this. But I was made by it.”
🔥 And You?
You may not know the full story of your bloodline. But your body remembers. Your soul does not forget.
Ask. Listen. Bow to what shaped you—both the wound and the wisdom.
Because your lineage is not a burden, just to be untangled.
It is also a map to your gold, if you are willing to dig.
Your medicine is waiting...and the box you live in, is ready to be destroyed.
We ride at dawn ❤️‍🔥🪄
