I dedicate this page to the Great Spirit, Mother Earth and all animals, so beloved and dear to me, but most of all, the animals who suffer by the human cruelty...
Hi ! :)
Let me introduce myself...
I was conceived in Africa, Mozambique, with 7 months of pregnancy, my mother went to Portugal - Porto where I was born and 4 months later I came to Brazil where I live in Rio de Janeiro until today... :)
I have respected and admired the Native American culture since early childhood, and aspire to learn as much as I can. In 1995, we had the first official visit by a Shaman of the Native American Church. We build a tipi (teepee), felt the strong energy of the sweat lodge ritual, stared at the fire all night and prayed to the Great Spirit... It was a strong experience in my heart, life and soul.
My grandfather - Nelson Turtle (a full blooded Cheyenne), adopted by me and vice-versa, gave me my native name in Cheyenne Language: Translated to english means "Standing Woman". I honor this deeply, and feel a great spiritual responsibility about it !
My Tukano's (Amazon tribe) name is PIN-RÓN-DI-HÓ that means "The owner of the sacred objects of the ceremonies" and it was given to me through a Brazilian shaman that talked with my ancestral ones native sanguine in the astral plan. A piece of my soul and native blood were lost in the time and last generations... my soul and my ancestral ones were sad for that separation, but with this name, I could gather myself again to them... my beloved red soul family...
My mission, most of all, is with myself, my own soul... I try as much as I can to help all people, our Mother Earth and our brother the animals. It is a tough road, a lonely path, seeing the suffering and the injustices along the way, but this can't stop my fight or defeat my faith in this cause!
I apologise for my poor english. :( My spanish is better :) and my native language is portuguese.
The Wolf is my power animal and my spiritual guide... He teaches me a lot of things but most of all, to be humble, honest, sincere, faithful and correct in my ways. Perhaps, one would think that I'm a bit crazy, because I understand the "animal language" very well. Sometimes it's so much easier to understand them, than human being... believe me... :)
I’m psychologist and specialized in regression (conscious hypnosis) also to past lives and "abducted" people, alternative/holistic therapy. In reality, is a spiritual work where I use all the wisdom that I have learned. Sometimes I use my fan and call my ancestors to help me. This sacred fan was given to me by a Shaman from the state of "New Mexico", called C. Rowan. When I asked him about my feathers, he said that he would travel to the "Spirit World" and ask what “I” needed... When he did that, he was told that my spirit traveled to the great void to retrieve messages and healing. Also said that his fan was the last fan to be made by this shaman (him) for another shaman, me... (In this part I was scared enough!!!) "The fans now (after mine) are made by women in the tribe. You will need to create your own reality, one in which you can do your healing. I will come to you as you dream and teach you. Sometimes you may remember the dream and sometimes you won't... but you will notice that you have new thoughts or you felt you should do certain things, but you won't really know why you think that. It’s me teaching you through the feathers and incense. Take heart ... You've asked the Creator to make you a shaman and a teacher. The Great Mystery will not answer a shaman without "tests". It will push you to believe things others don't know because that is the only way that you will be able to break through your patients beliefs and bring back their healings...”
Thank you so much Rowan... maybe I don’t deserve so much but I wish that you know that I’m trying to do the right things, walking the right steps to keep this sacred fan with me...
By the way, I have a strong spiritual affinity about Crazy Horse (the peoples thinking that I am so strange too :) ), South Dakota (Black Hills) and Lakota Language. Contact me if you have a good heart and pure soul, if you want to be my friend and share many things with me...

Native American Wisdom
Honor your Elders
and care for them.
For they have the knowledge
of a thousand winds.
Respect Mother Earth for her heartbeat is weak.
Sing a cry for the children
and animals for their hearts is of innocence.
Remember to pray.
Prayers are the messenger of hope.
And be thankful.
Be thankful for the life
Creator has given you.
Use it as a learning path.
Share and use your knowledge to teach others.
Remember to be humble.
Respect the beauty in all living things.
They are all your brothers and sisters...

Walking with Life
May the desires of your heart be pure
Seeking not to obtain but to learn
Soaring as the eagle above the trials and tribulations
Bringing peace to all who cross your path
Never allowing the dark clouds to prevail
Letting the lands remain free and untamed
May the spirit of life strengthen your power
Walk tall but softly keeping track of where you tread
Remember your brothers and sisters with kindness
Don't let mistrust lead your paths astray
Waste not what you have been given to survive
All creatures have a purpose and place
Keep your arrows true and straight
For unnecessary plight may come from the crooked
Ask for nothing in return for giving
Listen, watch and gather wisdom from the elders
Their paths have been tried by the fire
Don't believe because of prominence alone
Be weary for the theif comes in the night
Righteousness is the overcoming force
Truth will always be your friend...

Always Have A Dream
Forget about the days when its been cloudy but
don't forget your hours in the sun
Forget about the times you've been defeated but
don't forget the victories you've won
Forget about mistakes that you can't change now but
don't forget the lessons that you've learned
Forget about misfortunes you encounter but
don't forget the time your luck has turned
Forget about the days when you've been lonely but
don't forget the friendly smiles you've seen
Forget about the plans that didn't seem to work out but
If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know each other... If you do not talk to them you will not know them and what you do not know, you will fear... What one fears one destroys...

If all the beasts were gone, Men would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected.

The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different.
The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.
- Mahatma Gandhi -
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together... All things are connect like the blood that unites one family...
Love is the answer. Deliver...
Sing the song of your soul.
Let it soar on the wings of your spirit.
Live the tune of your love so loud
all the world will take notice and hear it.
The gift of your very presence
marks your place as a person of worth.
Rejoice and be ever grateful
for the days of your journey on earth.
Lift yourself. Find your passion.
Decide who and what you want to become.
Create your life and move ahead.
You are not defined by where you are from.
The race of humankind is yours,
not the boundaries of any one nation.
Stand and shine in the light of who you are,
a beloved and glorious creation.
