Site from Mexican called "Medicineman.com"

from luzclara that you mention, she claims to be a chman healer and machi, which is a spiritual grade for the mapuche people from chile.. that is really strange, they have never actually support any non-mapuche with spiritual names... they're really closed with their knowledge, and only in few opportunities let mestizos, or white people to interact in their ceremonies
