Mama Qoya Qori Qespe Wayta

Qoya Qori Qespe Wayta is a leader and advisor of the Tawantinsuyu. She is a wise sacred medicine woman and a teacher of Inka tradition.

Qoya Qori was born and raised in Willka Mayu, in the Sacred Valley of Inka Qosqo, within the Khallka Nation of the Antisuyu territory. She grew up under the protection of the solar Apu spirit, the Wamanis and Achachillas (sacred spirits, natural guardians), and embraced by Pachamama and Pacha Tayta (spiritual and cosmic mother and father), Hallp’a Mama (Mother Earth). From a young age, she cultivated, planted, harvested, and cared for sacred seeds, making pilgrimages to sacred spaces and temples of the Apus.

Qoya Qori descends from a long lineage of wise grandmothers, teachers, and healers of Inka tradition, as well as grandparents, mothers, and fathers who were guardians of ancestral wisdom, knowledge, and medicines, living under the natural cosmic order, harmony, and balance that sustain everything in this world—body, spirit, energy, and consciousness.

Her native language is Quechua, a sacred language carrying codes of information and a cosmic solar language. She was trained and guided by her grandmothers and grandfathers, and her spiritual mothers and fathers, forged by natural and magical forces, tested by the sacred elements and ancestral spirits, based on principles of sacred and ancestral life, and on natural and cosmic forces that hold wisdom and knowledge since ancient times.

She is a member of the Inka Solar School and Musuq Tawantinsuyu. Together with Inka T’ito, she performs spiritual work focused on transmitting ancestral knowledge. They carry out pilgrimages, teachings, and ceremonies, delivering sacred messages from the Inka and Qoya ancestors of Tawantinsuyu to ancestral peoples. Read More
