Ron Walks with Fire

Ron Walks With Fire - "Pele Ahi" in Hawaiian - has been a student and practitioner of Hawaiian and Micronesian Spirituality for a generation. He lived on the islands of Palau in Micronesia in 1976 and 1977 where he studied native rituals. Prior to that, he lived in Nigeria and studied Hausa spirituality. He has traveled to the Aztec and Mayan holy sites and is currently studying their spirituality.

He is a Priest of Spirit Weavers Church, a legally recognized Pagan church based in Toledo, Ohio. He has taught numerous workshops and seminars, translated rituals from other parts of the world, created new rituals by melding Micronesian spirituality into Neo-Pagan holiday celebrations and has performed as Priest in many large rituals across the nation. Ron also hosts Spirit Weavers' Beltane Festival, Samhain Festival, The Mysteries of Extàngelà (a personal spiritual initiation held each September), and several other overnight Festivals at FireHeart in Toledo, Ohio.

Warriors Among Us

Throughout the millennia, in most cultures the warrior was honored until such time as their skills in battle were no longer perceived as necessary. Unfortunately, that concept is one-sided and in our current society the Mars man is being increasingly misused and then castigated for the attributes that made him desirable in the first place. In our counter-paradigm movement, the pendulum has swung towards placing the feminine on a pedestal and denigrating the masculine. This workshop addresses the aspects of being the powerful male within the conflicting requirements of country and tribe.
