Frauds / John Lockley, White South African Posing as Xhosa Sangoma
« Last post by educatedindian on October 16, 2025, 10:11:30 pm »
Lockley is a white South African. Contrary to his claims of teaching Xhosa ways, literally all of his nonsense is obviously not.

Lockley claims to have gone to genuine African sangomas. If they were African, they were not sangoma, not traditional at all but pretenders for cash like Lockley.

"Ariel Jillian Smith is an American Indian Fashion Designer who not only loves designing but also enjoys working with and teaching high school students and children's humanitarian work.

Does fashion design, selling clothing, fall under The Indian Arts and Crafts Act?

"All products must be marketed truthfully regarding the tribal enrollment of the producers so as not to mislead the consumer."

"For example, products sold using a sign claiming 'Indian Jewelry' would be a violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act if the jewelry was produced by someone other than a member, or certified Indian artisan, of an Indian tribe."

"Last year I asked God to show me how to authentically be myself. And He revealed to me more of my TRUE Heritage!

I am CHEROKEE Indian via my mother’s Deep South Carolina roots.
I am BLACKFOOT Indian via my father’s California roots.
Government, textbooks and media have mis-labelled me “Negro” “Black” “African-American” because my skin color wasn’t preferred when America began. They had me confused about who I was for a long time, but I would rather listen to my LIVING GRANDMOTHERS over the World any day.
I am an American Indian, one of the MILLIONS of us who reside in America and have longer than any other people who have came here. It’s time we are unafraid to show our culture, and celebrate our True, Indigenous, American roots.
Happy Birthday to me, Authentically Ariel Jillian '

Can you tell why he chose his twinkie name? A white banker named Schwab is not exactly as reel sooper spirchul as wants to pretend.

Four Winds Society is Albert Villoldo's fraud outfit, one of the oldest and most notorious.

John is very much like you. He was born and raised in a small mid-western town in rural Wisconsin. He went to church, went off to college, got married, and eventually got divorced. He lived within the confines of corporate America working for several of the largest banks in the United States. he gained status, accumulated cars, a big home and all the trappings of living the American Dream.
Then through a period of self examination he started fundraising for a national charity. Through this service for others he began to find himself.
Driving to his executive office he really began to question an unexamined life. It was time for a change and re-invent who John “was”. That’s when the path of the Shaman opened up and presented itself in an unexpected way. John took action into the unknown and trusted his intuition. John met his future self through his shamanic work and journey.

--------
That's what you took from self examination? Go to an obvious white fraud and start selling obviously fraudulent ceremony. Going from getting rich from banks to getting rich from peddling fake spirituality and playing shame on.

Moved to Frauds. In some ways he's a victim, but if he'd truly done serious self examining, he wouldn't be.

Claims training from many that are obvious frauds, mostly white imposters and exploiters.

 I worked closely with Garrett Duncan (Diné), Xhosa  Sangoma John Lockley (S. Africa), and since 2019 I have apprenticed with Itzhak Beery and other Taita Yachaks (Elder Shamans) including Maria Juana and don Raul Yamberla, don Manuel Calazacon...

-------
Beery is a Jewish American exploiter, a racist former ad executive. Already a thread on him. The supposed Yachaks all work with Beery and make their living peddling to outsiders. Some like Vitelia Alarcon are white outsiders themselves.

Lockley is a white South African. Contrary to his claims of teaching Xhosa ways, literally all of his nonsense is obviously not. We need a thread on him.

As for Duncan, he's Navajo but I wouldn't call him a healer or teacher. He's entirely Nuage, a flake "teaching" all kinds of nonsense out of Instagram and Holiday Inns. Needs his own thread.

Cutter is an obvious fraud. He may be a victim too, falling for nonsense repeatedly and somehow not knowing any better when a five minute search could have told him none of these could be trusted.
