My efforts to understand these experiences have influenced me more than anything else in my life so far. I devoted my life to spirituality after having to quit my job in Alberta due to a severe panic attack and a series of foreboding dreams, which instructed me clearly, and severely, to take this course of action. I moved to British Columbia to study Yoga and experienced there two Ayahuasca ceremonies with Peruvian Shamans. After, I decided to change my name to Ayam Yogi Abraxas. My new name was to serve as my motto and mantra for the years to come, and as a reminder to never return to the materially based life I had left behind. It also gave me some much needed distance from my childhood and old identity. For the last seven years, I have been studying Tarot, and I began doing public readings and astrological nativity birth charts three years ago. I also started hitchhiking, and living in a tent at this time, traveling across Canada from coast to coast as an experiment in manifestation magick. I have experienced many remarkable synchronicities since then, and it has served as a vehicle (pun intended) to talk about my life and ideas to nearly everyone I have met along the way. I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember, and I have always enjoyed writing poetry, lyrics, essays and short stories. AyaMayA is my first book, and I plan to begin writing a semi-autobiographical fiction after taking some time to relax and travel in the United States, Mexico, and South America.view less
