How old were you when you began to have an interest in becoming a Medicine Man?

The late 1990’s – and I just do what I do, I don’t label myself as “Shaman.” You give of yourself and if that feels like Shamanic energy to someone, then that’s what it is. 

Gary, you’ve recently successfully battled cancer, were there any rituals, crystals, mantras that helped you during your illness?

I’ve worked for Atala for ten years. It’s been consistent in how we present the stones, in an honest and humble way. Since 2012, there seems to be a lot more awakened people, as well as an increased interest in the stones and what they do.

What’s your favorite crystal and why?

Depends on the day…kyanite, quartz, selenite, etc. I respect them all and they, in turn, work with me.
