Chief Sunwolf

Lead Shaman & Ancestral Priest

Native Shaman · Ancestral Priest · PHI Freedom Life Coach · Center for Spiritual Living Practitioner · Western High Magic Metaphysician · Unitarian Universalist Minister

Edward Sunwolf has been on the spiritual path since childhood, sharing his sight with his mother who raised and guided him in a semi-traditional American Indian upbringing. He continued learning American Indian Spirituality and formal intersecting spiritual beliefs, eventually being drawn to Western High Magic Metaphysics — which combines African, Hebraic, and Eastern belief systems.

Guided by his Spiritual Teacher, Chief Sunwolf was initiated into High Magic and began serving others through Divination, Clairvoyance, Dream Telepathy, Energy Medicine, Psychometry, Riddhi, and Witnessing. He later discovered and adopted the New Thought Philosophy, centering on the One Heart, One Mind, One Spirit connection, which he has integrated into all aspects of his evolving practice.

In an effort to heal his own spiritual trauma and assist others, he was initiated as an African traditional priest. He is working to heal his past for a brighter and stronger future for himself, his family, and the world.
