History of the Modern Inka Sun Staff

The present version of the Inka Sun Staff was created by The Four Winds Society in 1995 to be used as an anchor and broadcaster of new energies radiating toward the earth. In the last 50 years or so we have been experiencing a momentous transition from one great human epoch to another. This shift is called the transition from the 4th Sun to the 5th Sun by the last of the Inkas, the elders of the Q’ero Nation. The Great Inka Sun Staff is a four foot replica of a ceremonial scepter used by pre-Columbian Inka Rulers to connect with and manifest the will of Father Sun, Inti Taita, for the purpose of grounding human destiny here on Mother Earth, Pacha Mama.

The golden ceremonial Staff circulated through the United States of America in 1996 with the Q’ero elders, Dr. Alberto Villoldo, and The Four Winds Society. It was featured in ceremony at twenty locations, most notably, St. John The Divine Cathedral in New York City. The Staff was inserted and grounded in the Pacha Mama at each gathering. One by one Q’ero shaman and all present held the Great Staff, silently offering prayers, invocations, and intentions for the healing of the Pacha Mama and all our relations. Calling, grounding, and radiating the 5th Sun, these ceremonies created beauty, balance and harmony, while calling for the union of Inti Taita and Pacha Mama, sky and earth, feminine and masculine, spirit and body, South and North, and old and new.

Since 1996 the Golden Staff has been relatively dormant, waiting perhaps for the right time, the right people, to initiate a new round of ceremonial and energetic activities; a new incarnation. This seems to be the year. This appears to be the right moment. The people are ready. The time is now.

To our knowledge no original Inka Staffs exist. They were destroyed and the gold used by the Conquistadors to adorn churches and make coins.
