Eclectic Shamanism

Shamanism is a range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the spirit world. Core Shamanism is shamanism reduced to its core -a universal practice stripped of cultural or tribal attachments. 

My shamanic practice combines my extensive experience as a wiccan priestess with core shamanic methods. This frees me to work intuitively and creatively, without being restricted by any rigid protocols. I can combine a variety of metaphysical approaches to address the needs of my clients, which is why I call it ‘Eclectic Shamanism’.

There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world, however the following beliefs are common within all forms.

Spirits exist, and they play important roles both in individual lives and in human society. Shamanism is based on the premise that the visible world is pervaded by invisible forces or spirits which affect the lives of the living. Connecting with our personal spirit guides, teachers, power animals and plant helpers can enrich our spiritual path and empower us to heal and be healed.

The shamanic practitioner can communicate with the spirit world through an altered state of consciousness known as ‘Shamanic journeying ’ in order to consult the spirits that reside in the upper and lower worlds. The shaman can move between the worlds inhabiting both ordinary and ‘non ordinary’ reality, and is able to bring back information, and guidance from the helping spirits. The practitioner can also retrieve power animals, and ‘lost’ pieces of the soul from these realms.

The shamanic practitioner is called to heal the community, and to treat illness caused by spiritual trauma, negative thought forms or ‘intrusions’, and ‘soul loss’. 

Shamanic Counseling & Healing

With a background in European and core Shamanistic practice I offer a variety of services, and instruction, including  extraction healing, Power Animal retrieval, divination, journeywork, and personalized ceremonies and exercises, to aid transformation and spiritual healing. 

Shamanic Extraction Healing

In Core Shamanism there is a widely held view that when we are traumatized we may experience ‘Soul Loss’, along with a weakening of our spiritual resilience. This opens us up to opportunistic spiritual  intrusions that take up residence in our energetic body.  

Intrusions in the body are often experienced as inflammation, or unexplained localized pain, or as a sense of invasion in the body.  These Spiritual “Intrusions”, are thought forms or energies that have found their way into our system due to factors such as trauma, ill will directed by others, or self punishing thoughts and behaviors. 

With the aid and guidance of my Power Animals, I sense, and remove these inappropriate spiritual intrusions, and neutralize them. Often I will follow this with a Power Animal Retrieval.

Working with your Power Animals 

Power Animals are spiritual guides and helpers for our everyday lives and aid us in our spiritual and magical work. Each of us may have a small pantheon of these wonderful creatures that come and go over the years. 

When we are feeling run down, depressed, anxious, or feel a ‘loss of power’ due to life circumstances or illness, we may gain healing and assistance by reconnecting with a power animal that has gone ‘off line’. My skill and experience in shamanic journeying enables me to contact these Power Animals on your behalf and return them to your spiritual energy field.
