About Kamaq Wageaq  | Willak Umu and Teacher of the Sacred Andean Tradition

Kamaq Wageaq, Willak Umu of the Sacred Andean Tradition, Incan lineage keeper and international spiritual elder from Peru, has brought the teachings of the ancient Andean cosmology to South Africa since 1999. He received guidance from his Incan Masters to fulfil the prophecy for these times of shift where the completion of a cycle was marked by the solstice of December 2012, and the beginning of a new cycle meant fundamental changes in human consciousness. The teachings of the Sacred Andean Tradition were to be shared with all humanity. First, the ancient land of Africa, where human life was birthed, had to be honoured by the Andes mountains of South America.

Kamaq Wageaq founded and registered The Order of Inkari in the early 1990s to accomplish this task. And just before the turn of the millennium, he was invited to this land to present a workshop on the Andean cosmovision. He arrived in South Africa as a Master Kuraq Akulleq of the lineage of the Sacred Andean Tradition. He offered the Incan path of initiation in an adapted structure of levels: Paqo, Pampa misayoq, Alto misayoq and Kuraq Akulleq. The Sacred Andean Tradition teachings are all about the wisdom of the Chakana, observation of Nature and living a balanced, harmonious existence on Mother Earth, Pachamama. As Kuraq Akulleq, Kamaq Wageaq offered to South Africans the teachings and initiation level Karpay [energy transmission] for Paqo and Pampa misayoq, during workshops organized in various cities in South Africa, but the third level, Alto misayoq initiation requires the initiates to travel to Cuzco in the Peruvian Andes.

Over the past twenty-two years, 141 Alto Misayoq initiates have received the seeds of the Sacred Andean Tradition directly from the Apus [Andean Mountain spirits] and the Karpay directly from Kamaq Wageaq. 

The third level of initiation is subdivided into three degrees: Ayllu alto misayoq (this initiation is only done in Peru), Llaqta alto misayoq, initiation done in South Africa, and Suyo alto misayoq, also done in South Africa.

The final level of initiation is Kuraq Akulleq or the fourth level. This initiation is only done in Peru. It is conducted over a three-week initiation path. Kamaq Wageaq follows strict Andean codes, one of them being that a seven-year cycle must be observed. There have been two groups of South African fourth-level initiates, first in 2009 and then again in 2016. Of 141 third-level initiates in South Africa, 14 have received the Kuraq Akulleq Karpay. 

Kamaq Wageaq’s Master, the last Willak Umu of the Incan lineage of the Sacred Andean Tradition, granted him the position and responsibility of being his successor after his death. 

The Willak Umu of Inca times was the Spiritual Advisor of the Sapa Inca and the supreme high priest, the oracle, and the wisdom keeper of the Tawantinsuyo. During the 500 years since the Inca empire was dissolved, the energy transmission of Andean priests and Amawtas [master teachers] continued generation after generation, but in a discreet form. Therefore, there have been Incan Willak Umu high priests for five centuries, but only one at a time. The wisdom of the Sacred Andean Tradition is contained in the Chakana, which embodies all the knowledge, principles, codes, and energy potentials.

Kamaq Wageaq explains that there are multiple ancient cultural expressions from the Americas, all valid and profoundly sacred. However, the Sacred Andean Tradition is the unique expression of the energy of the Inca lineage of the Tawantinsuyo, which is active and alive in the 21^st century.
