Found this on paganspace.com and just had to laugh... sadly couldnt post it directly into frauds (frankly I think this guy gives all the possible reasons why resaerch wouldnt even need to be done) but thought I'd post it here seeing as who he claims to be a "guide" for.

And this of course is the full entry, where he talks about his workshops and a testimonial asking people to hire him.
Sigh.

1. Did he really call himself a "white shaman"? That's something AIM first used as an insult. And he claims to be two spirit (which he probably mitakenly thinks just means being gay) yet says he's Norse and Celtic. See threads in here on the problems in claiming to be Celtic.

2. Being a masseuse is supposed to impress us he's super spirchul?

3. The three named are not Mayans, they're Nuage frauds who spread ideas they pass off as Mayan.

4. Mayan "solar initiates" are a Nuage tradition, not an NDN one. Melchezidek is a fraud, and Standing Elk/Golden Eagle is an eccentric who hangs around the UFO crowd.

5. You bet, pledge yourself to a Mayan goddess, and then perform EAST Indian yoga.

6. The WHNO name is a pretty obvious knockoff of the UN organization the WHO. The WHNO is a group of fringe types and conspiracy theorists ranting about fluoride and aspartame and claiming global warming is a hoax.

7. Arguelles is a fraud. Don't know the others, but they may just be performing artists.

Moved to Frauds, though it's possible the guy may have been taken in himself.
