Meet The Matriarch of Shamans, a character that I created with passion and dedication to enrich my portfolio. Every second of this three-month process has been a rewarding experience, guided by the inspiring teachings of Manuel Jordán.

It’s believed that the shaman has the power to heal, to communicate with spirits and ancestors, and the ability to use divination.
