The time of the Pachakuti—A Q'ero prophecy

Since I started learning from indigenous elders I have found the answers to the questions I had for years. No I was never crazy, no I was not loosing my mind, no I was not making things up.

I was just being awaken to a higher consciousness, a new way of being. For me it all started around 2018, it has been a slow process that has been accelerating year after year.

To my surprise when I heard about the prophecy something within me felt it was true. It just make sense, so I’m here today hsaring what I learnt.

In the Q’ero tradition of Peru, the Pachakuti is a powerful prophecy that speaks of great transformation and the turning of an age.

The word Pachakuti comes from Pacha (Earth, time, space, cosmos) and Kuti (to turn, transform, or return). It signifies a great upheaval—both destruction and renewal—where the world is set right again after a period of imbalance.

The Q’ero, have long spoken of this time as the Taripay Pacha, the age of "meeting ourselves again"—a return to harmony, unity, and balance between humanity and nature. They say that we are now living through this great shift, where old structures collapse so that new ways of being can emerge.

What does this mean for us modern Humans?

We are witnessing a time of awakening, where many feel called to reconnect with nature, remember ancient wisdom, and live in greater alignment with their true essence. The Earth is not separate from us—we are part of her, and she is asking us to remember that. The Pachakuti invites us to:

🌿 Heal our relationship with nature – Recognising that the Earth is alive and that we are her stewards, not her masters.
🔥 Transform fear into wisdom – Letting go of the old paradigms of separation, scarcity, and control.
💫 Embody reciprocity (Ayni) – Living in sacred exchange, giving as much as we take, and acting with love and integrity.
🌀 Step into our power – Honouring our unique gifts and bringing them forward for collective healing and transformation.

 

What does the Earth want from us?

The Earth is calling for conscious guardians—those who remember that everything is interconnected. She asks us to:

  • Listen to her rhythms – Align with the cycles of nature rather than forcing our way through life.

  • Live with reverence – Treat every action as sacred, from how we consume to how we create.

  • Heal our own wounds – Because when we heal ourselves, we heal the collective.

  • Build community – We are not meant to walk this path alone; the time of the lone wolf is over.

The Pachakuti is not just a prophecy—it is an invitation. A call to return home, to remember, and to co-create a new world that reflects the deep wisdom of the Earth.
