Building Sacred Relationships: A Practical Guide to Working with Guides and Gods
Learning how to develop a relationship with a higher spirit guide of any kind – ancestors, spirit animals, angels, fairies, deities, ascendant masters, etc. – is an important aspect of our spiritual growth. Learning how to connect, but also how to stay open to communication in the physical and spirit realms, can be foundational. There…
Working Safely in the Spirit Realm
Working in the spirit realm can be one of the most rewarding spiritual experiences you can have. Feeling your connection to spirit or source, and learning to navigate a different reality, over time, combats modern struggles around isolation, depression, anxiety, and fatigue. Doing so safely isn’t hard, as long as you make a few simple…
Gaining a Shamanic Spirit Partner, Part 3
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…
Join Our Shamanic Drumming and Journeying Community
Beginning Saturday, March 29th, 2025, I will offer a monthly gathering focused on shamanic journeying and drumming. No experience with shamanism, journeying, or drumming is necessary – just a curious and open heart! Shamanic journeying is a powerful practice that anyone can learn and use. Working in the spirit realm teaches us true freedom and…
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…
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! 😄).…
