The Clan Mothers

Guides of the Pathways. Earthly Vessels for Ancestral Wisdom.

In the Amazonian Arts, each of the 13 Warrioress Archetypes is held in sacred reverence by a Clan Mother — a woman who has journeyed deeply with the teachings and medicine of her archetype and now serves as a living bridge between the earthly and the unseen.

A Clan Mother is not a title given lightly. It is a path of devotion and deep responsibility — one of listening, embodying, remembering, and becoming. These women are the earthly connection point to the Warrioress Grandmothers: the great archetypal forces that have returned to remind us who we are, what we carry, and how we may serve.

Evlina Munir

Alchemist Clan Mother

Elvina means little elf in the Celtic tradition and sacred instrument in Sanskrit, and true to my name I am a musician and sound healer, a lover of the Earth and her elementals and dwell in a magical cottage in an ancient mossy forest. After a brief period ensnared in the patriarchal world of structural engineering, I escaped and have spent many years exploring the world and life as a free spirit, yogini, mother, jewellery designer, chimes maker, and more recently as creatress of clay mythical creatures and animal allies.

As an Alchemist, I am deeply inspired by the shamanic and spiritual realms, inner journeying, womb healing and sacred sexuality. AMA’s vision speaks to my soul and I feel moved to support this birthing for the highest good of Gaia and all Beings.

Evelin Oaktree

Medicine Woman Clan Mother

I have been travelling many paths, within and without - a meandering nomad with no and many homes. I feel that rediscovering the beauty, passion and wildness in nature is an expression of our own inner being. It can be the bridge to reunite with our primordial, whole and sacred self – our blueprint for healing.

In reverence to the vision of the Amazonian Arts, I have drawn from my experience in holistic manual therapy and ecology, a deep love of nature, and an appreciation of life in all its facets to offer the Elemental Foundations workshops. May the shift begin...

Katiuska Cruz

Artisan Clan Mother

I am a jeweller, painter and graphic artist. As the Vision Artisan, I am creating the archetypal images of the 13 Warrioresses and the Overarching Allies.

Each month I sit with the Vision Mother and Gate-Keeper, deeply listening to what has been received about a specific Warrioress, and then begin the process of bringing HER through.

This is, to put it lightly, a MOMENTOUS task full of magick, deep stories, spells, dedication and profound love.

Huntress Clan Mother

The role of the Clan Mother is one of deep responsibility—a sacred commitment to embody and walk beside the archetype, to guide, protect, and illuminate the path for those journeying with her. While the position for the Huntress Clan Mother is not currently held, the essence of her fire and focus continues to inspire.

The Huntress is sovereign and bold. She moves with instinct, trusts her inner compass, and walks the path less travelled with courage and clarity. She teaches us how to act in alignment with our truth, how to move forward when called, and how to pause with presence when needed.

To hold her medicine as Clan Mother is to carry the wildness of freedom and the stillness of a sharp breath before release. It is no small task—it is a brave devotion to walk alongside this archetype in all her wisdom and edge.

Tracy -Lee Clarke

Priestess Clan Mother

I am a mother to three amazing boys. I am wife to my complimentary opposite. I am woman, daughter, mother, sister; Taurus Sun, Virgo Moon, Libra Rising.

My passions are animals (horses in particular), painting, drawing, crochet, web and graphic design and all things creative. You will rarely find me without my tarot cards or essential oils nearby.

Being called in as the Clan Mother for the Priestess is an experience I am unravelling as it happens. Her bones called to me, her sacred hearth and flame drew me in.

At home I am surround by masculine energies; my boys, my husband, even our animals, I see the Amazonian Arts as an invitation for the embodiment of the fierce sacred feminine and of evoking the inner wisdom of me remembering this power once again.

I am of the Earth and I am finding my way back to self.

Sonya Kumar

Wildling Clan Mother

I am a Mother, Re-wilder and Community Weaver, I actively live on an intentional community, toiling the soil and growing the village. I practice wild craft, twirling my fire stick to make primitive fire and weaving baskets out of the landscape.

I have danced to my own drum beat, often as a loan she-wolf, gravitating to a less conventional life out side the over-culture. My spiritual seeking has taken me cross oceans and cultures, practising traditional and non-traditional linages. For the last decades I have been immersed in the Earth Based practices: the Shamanic way reclaiming back my wild story!

I walk closely with the Wildling archetype, with reverence. I hold the Rainstick as the Wildling Clan Mother and all that she reveals so we can take back our untethered Wild Heart.

Lyra Jean

Banshee Clan Mother

I am mother of 2 daughters. I am swim school owner, a teacher of swimming and appreciated in the community as a Water Whisperer. I am an ABA therapist for children on the Autism spectrum and I have Bachelor Fine Arts degree.

My passion lies with and for the frame drum and the sacred ancient technology it holds for healing and transformation.

I see myself now in my Maga years as a steward for the Great Mother, in service to the feminine awakening and reclamation of the Goddess culture.

We await her arrival

Archeress Clan Mother

The role of the Clan Mother is one of deep responsibility—a sacred commitment to embody and walk beside the archetype, to guide, protect, and illuminate the path for those journeying with her. While the position for the Archeress Clan Mother is not currently held, the fire of her vision and the arc of her wisdom continue to ripple through the work.

The Archeress is the Seeress and Truth-Speaker. She takes aim with clarity and moves with purpose, her heart anchored in the stars and her feet planted firmly on the earth. She is guided truth, ever seeking the horizon where freedom and expansion call.

To serve as her Clan Mother is to walk with wide vision, to embody spontaneity and wisdom in equal measure, and to inspire others to trust the sacred direction of their own journey.

Luna Lyn

Lore Keeper Clan Mother

I am the mother of three sons and grandmother to five granddaughters and two grandsons. In my careers I have been a nurse, midwife, manager, lawyer, and teacher. I have travelled to many places on earth and beyond and experienced the diversity and joy of many people and their cultures.

My spiritual journeys in shamanism including the 4SJ have taken me through maiden, mother and I am now in the transition between maga and crone. Balancing my academic and spiritual pathways, that are not always in alignment, remains challenging and are part of the shadow side of the Lore Keeper. Travelling through the 13 grandmother archetypes with AMA has provided me the opportunity to deepen my knowledge, experience and wisdom and allowed me to enter as the Clan Mother for the Lore Keeper with her rich stories as peace maker, wise one, and keeper of the lore and ancient learnings. I am of the air and feel called to travel across the milky way and beyond with my allies… by keeping in balance I will not get lost. Come join me!

Camilla Ticehurst

Protectress Clan Mother

It’s been a long road of self-discovery upon which I've experienced the full range of Protectress shadows and fears in order to bring forward her wisdom and strengths at this time. I am a guide and mentor to children, mothers, and families. I am a hugger, lover, mother, sister, friend, and shamanic seeker.

I am Clan Mother for the Protectress: a guide and role model for a new way. Together we can co-create a nourishing community, built upon connection, positive communication, shared values, and integrity. Now my life becomes my purpose. To live life fully, as an embodiment of the Protectress.

Brony Marshall

Merciful One Clan Mother

I embodied the Soul-Song of the Warrior Queen for several years. It was a deeply profound experience to step up as her Clan Mother and step into my power and path of truth.

The weekend I turned 40 I received a message to anchor the Soul-Song of the Merciful One. It was an instant feeling of ‘coming home’. In my life I have journeyed many paths… Paramedic, Teacher, Youth Educator, Business Creatrix, World Traveller, Artist, and Mother. Along my journey, no matter my career or focus, there have been three main portals that have supported me to experience a feeling of ‘coming home’ to myself.

❥ Spirit (energy) ❥ Nature ❥ Creativity. These three facets create a cosmic web that intimately connects me to my deep wisdom, dreams, heart, womb and spirituality. I see that the Merciful One has been calling me for many years through her reclamation… to remember that we are from the Spiritual Realms.

Melia Rose

Messenger Clan Mother

Words have always captured my intrigue. I love discovering the secrets that hide within them, and I particularly love that potent moment when a word is awakened from its unconscious slumber, and restored to sacred expression. I am awed by the realisation that our words serve us to heal, to save and to enslave. They carry the possibility of our freedom when we meet them in a state of presence, and they too carry our dis-ease, our lack, our limitation and our insecurity.

My journey with Messenger and her Word Medicine is really a quest for freedom; freedom from the spell-binds that have occupied my genetics, and my environments and their cultures. It is to remember who I really am; that I am the words I consistently choose to fill my mind with. And with these words, I weave the fabric of my reality.

Akhalita Makoto

Warrior Queen Clan Mother

I once heard a wise-women in a workshop on leadership ask participants the question, 'Who is leading the leader?' It has stuck with me ever since as the touchstone for humility and guidance in this role. For looking around in our modern world it is clear that too many who step into leadership, succumb to the intoxication of 'power over' in its various guises.

While the answer to the question continues to take me deeper, the Leo Warrior Queen's medicine speaks to me through the fire element and the heart. For my personal challenge thus far has been to courageously face the fears that have prevented me stepping up into the light to shine my gifts bright. It is so deeply heart-nourishing to know that as I step more fully into my personal power and sovereignty, I am leading others into their own.

A picture tells a thousand words

Through the Clan Mothers, each archetype finds form and breath in this world. They hold space in ceremony, offer insight and transmission, and light the path ahead for those newly arriving. Each one carries the sacred flame of her lineage, tending to the spiritual hearth of her Clan, and ensuring that the wisdom of the archetype is accessible, alive, and evolving with the times.

To walk as a Clan Mother is to embody the sacred teachings of the Warrioress in daily life — not through perfection, but through presence, humility, and trust in the greater weaving. They are the torchbearers and the way-showers, the ones who echo the call of the Grandmothers so others may hear.

When you journey with the Amazonian Arts, it is the Clan Mothers who welcome you. They are here to guide, to walk beside, and to honour the unfolding of your unique soul song.
