Frank Stronghorse was born in Dallas, Texas where he graduated
from Highland Park High School and then obtained a BS in Finance
from the University of South Carolina. In his various travels,
he has lived in Atlanta, Sausalito, Los Angles, Phoenix, Dallas,
and Austin. He currently resides on his organic farm outside
of Austin.
In 1986 Stronghorse attended a workshop with Harley Swiftdeer
Regean in Texas which was followed up shortly thereafter with
a Vision Quest throughout the Southwest portion of the U.
S. He has been an apprentice of Swiftdeer and the warrior/priest
path of the Twisted Hairs Tradition of Turtle Island since
1986. Through a series of visions obtained during various
ceremonies on Grandmother Earth, Stronghorse was led to explore
the history and ancient traditions of the Northwest Power
of the Eight Great Powers and focused primarily upon the Christian
traditions. As a result he was led to become an apprentice
to the priesthood of The Divine Order of Melchizedek. Although
not aligned with any "official" Melchizedek path
that currently exist on Grandmother Earth, he has worked with
this Order over the past ten years.

Through his blending of the shamanic traditions of the Twisted
Hairs and the Christian traditions of The Divine Order of
Melchizedek, Stronghorse completed The Mammonite Agenda in
2006 to reflect his conclusions from his many years on these
two unique and complex paths. In this book, Stronghorse attempts
to provide a description of a mindset that he believes has
corrupted the basic tenants of the original foundation of
the true spiritual message of the Northwest Power of the Eight
Great Powers, as well as the other traditions of the other
Eight Great Powers, and led the world into a maze of fantasy,
illusion and superstition that has increased the suffering
of mankind. Before you can craft a solution, you must understand
the problem. This is the focus of intent of The Mammonite
Agenda.

In his spare time, Stronghorse continues his studies with
the Deer Tribe in Phoenix as well as with his intimate group
in Austin who work with The Divine Order of Melchizedek. He
also spends time in Mexico where he keeps a second home and
explores the far reaches of the Sierra Madras searching for
ancient power spots and ceremonial grounds. He may be reached
through Pinion Publishing (www.pinionpublishing.org)
in Austin for information regarding speaking and/or teaching
appointments.
