Free Aka Dua Intro Course by Koyote Ciego

The Aka Dua™ is a force, an energy, that is connected to the path of spiritual attainment. It is a particular manifestation of the magickal force that Esoteric and Mystery Schools utilized and kept secret for aeons.

Koyote is releasing a new series of teachings on the Aka Dua this year and has prepared a new free course that provides a clear and practical introduction to the Aka Dua & The Path of Attainment with the Aka Dua

I received the transmission of the Aka Dua level 1 in the Winter of 2007. I am currently a level 5 practitioner. It has been a transformative force in my path and alignment with the Sacred. Mitakuye Oyasin/All My Relations! Aho!

Free Aka Dua Intro Course Join Koyote, the originator of the Aka Dua, in a 8 part free intro course

If there was only one thing I could know about Magick, I would choose the Lesser Banishment Ritual of the Pentagram (LBRP).

This is perhaps one of the most powerful, fundamental, and underrated tools in the magician’s arsenal.

The LBRP is essential, not only because it is used to cleanse a space energetically and free it from the undue influence of unwanted spirits and magical attacks, but also because it prepares the body, energy, and mind of the pratitioner for any type of magical work, operation, or even daily spiritual exercises.

He importance of this ritual, however, is much deeper than a powerful operation to cleanse and prepare a space.

The ritual has in its very DNA, the architecture of the Great Work, the Magnus Opus of the Western Magick. The Banishment ritual is a microcosmic representation of the alchemical transformation, and the attainment of the union of opposites.

It is all represented each time it is performed; and every, the formula of the ritual is absorbed by the practicioner. The ritual is embeded in the body, the mind, and the etheric body. It gives directions to these bodies the same way our DNA gives directions to every cell of our bodies.

Indeed, the Lesser Banishment Ritual of the Pentagram is the most essential model of the Great Work being programed into the core of our being. The more you do it, the more active it becomes in the matrix of the body of light that is forming in the soul of the adept.

As profound as these statements are, the LBRP is even more important than stated even in these paragraphs. It is a recreation of the formation of the Universe, and it contains at its core the fundamentals of the mind of the Creator as it desings its own body of light. Therefore, every time this powerful ritual is performed, you align yourself more and more with that creative force of the Supreme Being.

But there is more, there is a technique by which you can align your ritual not only to your own personal practice, but to a powerful ancient lineage of practitioners too. It is true that every time you do the Banishment, you accumulate that energy into the formation of your own Body of Light. True.

I will teach you this ritual. I will show you how to perform it step by step, and at the end of the worlkshop you will be ready to perform it and gain its benefits. But I will also teach you that technique by which you can leverage your practice by aligning it to the accumulated practices of great initiates and adepts from time immemorial.

That means that every time you practice you are not only adding this performance to your own Body of Light, you are also tapping into the work been done by powerful women and men of knowledge around the world, and their work and power is added to your own, making your own ritual of Banishment that much more powerful and effective.

In this two day seminar, Jenny Paiva and yours truly will teach you the proper fundations of the LBRP. Jenny is a Yaya Nkisi, the highest grade of initiation of Palo Mayombe, and a Level V adept of the Aka Dua. She has personally trained dozens of magicians in the use of the LBRP, and she has been working with me in the various magical arts for 20 years.

At the end of the two day workshop, you will learn:

• The entire Lesser Banishment Ritual of the Pentagram and how to perform it effectively.

• The proper architecture of footwork, vibration, tone, movement, and visualization for the most powerful effect.

• How to use it to ward off magical attacks, stress, danger, and fear.

• How to use the LBRP to enhance your own power, clean your energy, restore your magick.

• How to cleanse a space for magical work, for meditaion, and for your professional work.

• How and when to align this ritual to the lineage of magicians for enhanced power.

It was in 1998 that my Benefactor, Kachora, gave me the Ring of Power.

He was sending me away to complete a task after 3 years of apprenticeship. He told me, “you are learning too fast, Koyote, but the next task you have to do on your own. You must call and get your Ally.”

The Ally, he explained, is an ancient being of great power and knowledge.

“He will teach you magick,” Kachora said. He provided the necessary warnings and the details of the operation. He said it would take a year of intense and dedicated work, but it took me seven years to prepare and get everything ready for that year of work.

“How would I contact the Ally?” I asked him.

“You can’t,” he said. “It takes a lot of power and knowledge. And when He comes, you must be strong and ready. If your mind is weak, you will go insane.”

I asked him if there was a way for me to know if my mind was strong enough for the operation. “Yes, there is,” he replied. “Perform the operation, and if you do not die or go insane, then you were strong enough.” 😉

After much work and preparation, I was able to commence the operation in 2005.

He validated and confirmed the results, declaring in front of witnesses that I was now a teacher in his lineage.

The results of this operation can be verified in the development of the Velada, the Telling, and the Aka Dua.

My book, The Teachings of a Toltec Survivor is a record of these teachings, and the resulting teachings of the lineage and the conversation with the Ally.

The Aka Dua is a magical force, the force emanating from the Ring of Power.

It became available for the world after 2007. The magical force that previously had been only accessible to those possessing the Ring of Power is now available to all.

The Aka Dua, the power that ancient initiatic and occult schools passed on to initiates in secret, is now here to serve everyone who wishes to help, heal, and benefit their fellow human beings.

The Teachings of a Toltec Survivor This shamanic artifact is based on the lectures given by Koyote the Blind during the esoteric course on Toltec teachings. Through autobiographical account and humor, the Nahual spoke to a group of spiritual seekers in 2007, during the Spring Equinox. These esoteric lectures are much more than dat...

Path of Destiny Interpretation There is no words to describe what I felt during my path of destiny interpretation with Koyote. But if I tried would be as if he took me on this adventure into the depths of my being where I was exposed to a triad of an ignition force (the interpretation), an oxidizing agent (Koyote) and a fuel forc...

This is the beginning of a new cycle, both in nature and in the consciousness of humanity. It is an auspicious moment to become aware of this window of opportunity. I invite you to use our collective awareness of the present moment to SEE a new dream.

As individuals, we create a simulation of the world in our minds. This is where we live the environment created by our judgements, our conclusions, and our seeing. We each create our individual dream.

Yet, collectively, we also create a dream that is communal. History is the unfolding of our collective seeing. We are dreaming the outside works together, just as we dream our own lives.

This is a moment in time when we have an opportunity to see a new world. Just seeing. That’s all we need to do in this moment. See.

See the new life. See the new awareness flowing around you. Let the blessing of the divine Aka Dua unfold with it the formation of a new dream, a new hope, and the life we all deserve.

Happy New Year, dear friend!

Happy new year!

Koyote began a new topic in his free weekly talks, Tuesdays at 7:30 pm (PST). The new series is titled, The Path of Joy. Koyote is a hablador, a teacher, and a teller of sacred stories in the Path of the Infinite. Every story begins in the middle of a lifetime. It may be the story of an individual, a people/culture group, or the whole of humanity. It is specific, a moment, situated in a wider context, unfolded in relation to a complex configuration of factors. Out of that matrix of possibilities, a few key elements are identified to configure something comprehensible that may be shared with those fortunate enough to hear it. One aspect of the hablador's art is to guide his companions across a pathless land, revealing both practical and universal truths contained therein. And more, before the story dissolves back into the swirling matrix of possibility, he leaves a gift and artifact that adds another building block in the temple of the Nagual. Aho! Thank you Koyote!

Koyote’s talks may be watched on any of his social media pages on Meta/Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, or his YouTube Channel, Koyote the Blind - YouTube where a large archive of his talks and videos reside.

It's hard to know who and what to trust in our search for meaning and truth in this life. Maybe those questions rarely arise as we try to navigate the more immediate challenges of survival? We receive from our parents, experience, and society the lessons and values embedded in exemplary success and failure. We most often look out into the world and plan our course of action.
I invite you to consider another way of assembling and understanding that looks inward. A very old way that begins with clearing, strengthening, and recovering the attention with which we perceive, see, and come to know ourselves and the world around us. The mastery of life is an inside job.
