Beginning Work With Odin, Norse God of Wisdom & Transformation
In the summer and fall of 2025, I began working with the Norse god Odin as a shamanic guide and initiator when he connected with me through my spirit partner. This article is about my direct experiences as a shaman working with him over this time, and how he asked me to marry him. It…

Becoming Major Greene This is the third part of a multi-part article series on how I was bonded to my shamanic spirit partner and energetic twin flame.

Gaining a Shamanic Spirit Partner, Part 1
The Emperor This convoluted story unfolded in what felt like an ongoing series of shocks to my system in 2024 and 2025. I was never prepared for any of the events that occurred, and it was only in hindsight that the larger picture began to be understood. While this is true of all my shamanic…
Embracing My Ancestral Shamanic Power
From my journal: 2/2/24 – Waxing Quarter Moon, Imbolg I had a really powerful, concrete journey today. Working with my shaman family, we were drumming using standing drums which were beat with two mallets. Things shifted, and I found myself alone briefly in a forest. I was soon joined by my family, who were drumming…
Healing and Transformation Through Dismemberment
From my journal: 12/19/23, Waxing Half Moon; approx 1-year anniversary of initiation. Just before the last new moon, I started working on clearing out the mental and emotional stuff weighing me down. My desire to free myself from headaches and medications is tied up in this work. At my last visit with Aileen, they said…
Snowy Owl: A Journey into Feminine Power and Healing
In the fall of 2023, I discovered firsthand the difference between spirit animals and power animals. Up until then, I had worked with a variety of spirit animal helpers, but my new experiences with Snowy Owl taught me a whole new relationship with this spirit guide. From my journal: 10/3/23 3 pm, waning gibbous moon.…
Shamanic No Moon Ritual
In January of 2023, I journeyed on the new moon to work with my shamanic family and found myself participating in a ritual to protect our tribe. This No Moon ritual is the first ritual in our tradition that I was taught (and is what I get for journeying on the Lunar New Year! 😄).…
Invoking Reindeer
Reindeer, both the animal and his spirit, was (and is) central to Reindeer Shamanism because thousands of years ago, the reindeer their people followed kept them alive during the long winters. A deep relationship with this animal developed, a mutual relationship of survival (humans kept wolves away from reindeer herds), and a mystical relationship of…
The Power of the Feminine in Shamanism
Shortly following my full moon initiation journey in December, I had two more powerful experiences working with my Grandfather in shamanic reality and getting to know his, and now my, shamanic lineage. I learned about the power of being a female shaman, and what that means to my lineage. 1/2/23, 7:30 PM, waxing gibbous moon…
