About
Hi, I’m Anna Weiss – Tibetan Astrologer, Namkha Weaver, and Namkha Expert in the lineage of C.N.Norbu .
I help people through Namkhas, Mo Divination, and Tibetan Astrology readings.
In 2023 I left Russia, where I was born, and now live in Sakartvelo, საქართველო (Georgia).
I’m a wounded healer. I went through a great deal before I found the Teachings – and before Namkhas in the lineage of Chögyal Namkhai Norbu came into my life.
Namkhas are Tibetan thread-crosses – shamanic Buddhist objects from the pre-Buddhist Bön tradition, constructed individually for each person using Tibetan astrology. They changed my life completely: helped me work through physical and mental trauma, and become significantly healthier and stronger.
🌍Today I help others through Namkhas made in the most traditional way – using only natural materials, gathered by myself and fellow crafters. I have offered my help to people in over 25 countries around the world.
I was invited by Shang Shung Publications Italy as a Namkha expert to represent the method in its fullest and most correct form.
I continue my own healing journey – combining ancient methods like Namkhas and Tibetan Astrology with modern Western approaches, including antidepressants and conventional psychotherapy.
Welcome the space of healing and transformation!
My Path as a namkha weaver and Tibetan Astrologist
❖ First steps
My formal training began in 2018, under the guidance of a Russian Namkha teacher Elena Hertz, who helped shape the approach that is now widely practiced.
Russian school of Namkha making is one of the most powerful and refined – it holds the core of the Namkha method within the International Dzogchen community.
But my journey didn’t stop with formal education.
I went through the training with one of the strongest Namkha teacher at this moment – Elena Hertz from Russia. On the photo: Namkhas from one of her seminars prepared to be empowered on the Ganapuja. Photo by Elena Hertz.
❖ Going deeper with self-exploration and study
I continued studying with unwavering passion – absorbing every trace of knowledge I could find.
◇ I explored Namkhas made from different materials, including metal rods – a level of complexity that, to my knowledge, only I have accomplished.
Namkhas made with metal sticks in Moscow. At this moment, I’m the only Namkha weaver who teaches how to construct them.
◇ Today I spread the approach honoring the Bon Indigenous origins of Namkhas, using natural materials on every stage of constructing Namkhas.
◇ I studied advanced calculation methods on Namkhas in all their complexity, driven by motivation to solve huge problems with physical and mental health.
◇ I consulted with Tibetan astrologers, worked through texts in both Russian and English, and tested everything through real-life transformation – overcoming misfortunes and karmic obstacles in my own life.
❖ Guidance from the Tradition itself
Dreams, visions, and the deities of Namkhas have accompanied me on this path – guiding me, correcting my course, and offering their presence in times of difficulty.
Whenever I faced profound challenges – overcoming physical disability, navigating mental health crises, escaping a country at war – I turned to my craft, intuition, and connection to the Bon deities of Namkhas.
❖ Beginning of the Namkha Encyclopedia
In 2022, I created the Namkha Encyclopedia, a digital sanctuary to preserve and share this sacred tradition.
This is my fifth attempt to create such a project—and this time, it is succeeding.
In the same year I became a member of the Namkha method research team in the Shang Shung Institute.
I was included in this team to help ensure that the method is transmitted correctly and fully within the International Dzogchen Community and worldwide.
❖ New era: becoming a tibetan astrologer
In 2025, I began studying at the Institute of Tibetan Astrology and Medicine (Russia) to become a professional Tibetan astrologer.
I am deepening my knowledge and understanding of the Namkha method.
I am also becoming a guide and support for others through Tibetan astrology consultations and horoscope readings.

❖ My work as a Namkha expert and Tibetan Astrologer Today
I’ve offered my help to people around the world – from 23 countries across 4 continents.
In 2024, I began transmitting this knowledge online, welcoming students from across the globe to learn and carry the tradition forward.
In 2025, I began creating the boo Encyclopedia of Namkhas in the tradition of C. N. Norbu: a series of three publications that will cover every known aspect of this practice. Alongside these, I’m also writing an autobiographical novel—sharing my personal journey with Namkhas and how they changed my life.
Today, my mission is to share this rare diamond of transformative wisdom –
honoring its sacred roots while guiding others on their path of healing, clarity, and karmic liberation.
