Vera Lopez — Mary Magdalene Priestess & Founder of Spirits of the Earth
Spiritual Guide | Shamanic Minister | Sacred Feminine Leader Vera Lopez is a revered spiritual teacher, Mary Magdalene Priestess, and the visionary founder of Spirits of the Earth, established in 1989. For over three decades, she has led thousands of seekers on transformational pilgrimages to some of the world’s most sacred places—Peru, Egypt, England, Spain, Mexico, and especially France, where she now answers the deepest calling of her soul: to guide others through the holy lands of Mary Magdalene. Recognized as one of the most knowledgeable spiritual guides to Machu Picchu—where her own awakening journey began—Vera’s sacred mission is to awaken the ancient memory held within the Earth and within each soul she guides. With reverence, wisdom, and deep intuitive insight, she creates experiences that are not just journeys, but initiations. Born in Brazil and now rooted in the mystical town of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Vera began her spiritual studies at age 18 under the mentorship of renowned psychologist and metaphysical teacher Luiz Gasparetto. It was there she discovered her gift of channeling and embraced her path as a spiritual counselor, healer, and teacher. Vera is a Shamanic Minister, Transformational Facilitator, and International Speaker, known for her grounded mysticism and powerful presence. She has presented at transformational gatherings such as the Grail Springs Retreat Centre’s Women’s Wellness Festivals, and she continues to offer workshops and retreats on Priestesshood, Shamanism, Metaphysics, Spiritism, and Awakening the Illuminated Heart. Through her sacred teachings and pilgrimages, Vera is now gathering the women who feel called to walk the path of the Magdalene—to reclaim their inner sanctity, awaken their Divine Feminine essence, and rise in sisterhood. She is the founder of the Mary Magdalene Sisterhood, an international circle of women dedicated to embodying love, wisdom, and sacred service in the lineage of the Red Rose. |

Nikolaus and Star Wolf are sacred beloveds, united in heart and mission, and have walked this path of sacred partnership for over five years. Together, they share a deep commitment to planetary service and spiritual awakening. Both feel a powerful soul resonance with Mary Magdalene, Yeshua, and Sarah—connections that transcend time and invite a profound remembrance of divine union and purpose. As they journey to the sacred lands of southern France, they are not only answering the call to remember and reclaim lost parts of their own soul’s journey, but also to lovingly support others in doing the same. This pilgrimage is a sacred invitation to those who are ready to awaken, embody, and remember who they truly are. |
