PERU: The Symbolism of The Chakana, or Andean Cross


🌟 In the Andean World the Chakana, or Andean Cross, is one of the most enduring symbols of the ancient Inca civilization.❓ What does it mean? 👉🌟👉 Here's the interpretation from the Qero Elders, Masters of the Inca Spiritual Tradition who we've studied with since 1993.


👉 The circular hole at the heart of the symbol represents the city of Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire and navel of the Incan world.


👉 Surrounding this circle are four corners, ridged with three steps each which represent one of the Three Worlds of the Inca belief system.

1) The Lower or Underworld, the Ucu Pacha, represented by the snake.

2) The Middle World, that of humans, the Kay Pacha and represented by the puma.

3) The Upper World, the Hanan Pacha, represented by the condor.


👉 The other corners are believed by some to represent the values of the Inca culture. For example, one corner may represent love (munay), knowledge (yachay) and work (llankay).


💥 Learn more about the ancient Inca Spiritual Tradition during our

2026 Spiritual Journey & Shamanic Retreat at Machu Picchu,

Cusco & The Sacred Valley of the Incas, November 5th - 16th!


🌟 With Mark Amaru Pinkham - Author and myself. 
We're long-time
Mesa Carriers and trained Andean Shamanic Practitioners.
Mark Amaru has written about the alternative and esoteric history of Peru in his perennial classic The Return of the Serpents of Wisdom and some of his other eight books.

We're also longtime researchers of ancient megalithic building technology.

🌟 Since we founded Sacred Sites Journeys in 1994 we've led over 38 groups to PERU.


💛 We'll have a 4-day retreat in the Sacred Valley of the Incas

with some of the Q'ero Masters!


👉 These are the five levels of ORIGINAL TEACHINGS in the Inca Spiritual Tradition that you will receive instruction and initiation in from them:

🌟 Hampi Karpay - Ritual of The Healer

🌟 Chumpi Karpay - Ritual of the Bands of Power

🌟 Chaska Karpay - Ritual to the Guardian of the Stars

🌟 Hampuy Karpay - Ritual of Return

🌟 Pampa Misayoq - Ritual of The Guardian of The Earth


💥 We're NOW TAKING REGISTRATIONS! The GROUP IS FILLING!


❗❗❗ WHY TO REGISTER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

We need to reserve your place NOW for the 2-day visit to MACHUPICCHU,

as only 1,500 tickets are sold daily for both the morning and afternoon entrances.

Once these are bought, there are no additional ones available.

Larger companies buy 100s at once, thus leaving fewer for

smaller companies like Sacred Sites Journeys.


💥 Plus, we're ONLY TAKING 10 PEOPLE,

so to assure your place, please register AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!


A detailed ITINERARY, PRICING and a REGISTRATION FORM are available at http://www.SacredSitesJourneys.com/Peru-Nov2026/Peru-Nov2026.htm

🌟🌟🌟 Good News from EGYPT 🌟🌟🌟


👉 The Archaeological Rescue Foundation has been given permission

to release a document outlining the master plan for

a new Hawara Rescue Project starting now (early 2026)!

This plan was written and coordinated

by Louis De Cordier, who also led the 2008 Mataha Expedition at the site.

The plan is to address active water damage and recover the lost historical archive

at Hawara, Fayoum Oasis, Egypt!
Which means the lost underground Labyrinth!

😮 I've been fascinated by this research for years, ever since I followed

De Cordier's Mataha Expedition in 2007/2008!

Myself, Mark Amaru Pinkham, and some of our 2010 Sacred Sites Journeys

group members went to the Fayoum Oasis area to explore it

before our pilgrimage in Egypt that year.

We couldn't get access into the underground part of it,

but could feel the energy, which btw was way off the charts!


💥 💥 I plan to take our 2028 Egypt group back to the area,

either as a pre or post-tour optional visit, so stay tuned here for updates!

If you have an interest in both the pilgrimage

AND this awesome opportunity to perhaps view history in the making,

reply to this newsletter. 


💥 Use the link below to read about the full explanation of the Hawara Labyrinth

and its history, with linked reports from all past expeditions,

as well as the new mission plan document.
