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…

Learning to Journey for Self-Healing
Introduction My first contact with shamanism was in 1992 in a college course called ‘Magic and Religion’ (definitely the coolest thing about my school). The class examined indigenous and Western shamanic history and practices as well as some aspects of the occult movement and modern witchcraft. I didn’t pick up my shamanic studies again until…
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.…
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…
Initiation Into Reindeer Shamanism
From my journal: 12/7/22, 4:40 PM, full moon. For the full moon, I did a ritual to dedicate my shamanic work and healing to the spirit of Reindeer. After offerings (I included Rat Spirit to give him my thanks and accept his assistance and teachings as well), and dedicatory words, I journeyed swiftly to the…
