Awaken Your Inner Wisdom
The Female Shaman
and the Role of Darkness
Meet Gabriela Gutierrez
In the latest episode on the Awaken Your Inner Wisdom podcast, I speak with Gabriela Gutierrez, who is a writer, researcher, poet, mythologist and scholar of ancient religion, to explore a theme very close to my own heart: the female shaman and the role of darkness.
Gabriela has spent years finding her way back to the old wisdom of our ancestors, through the living land, the body and the womb.
Gabriela speaks so beautifully of the darkness as a holy place of revelation, the womb of the Great Mother where new life is birthed into being.
It is a conversation that invites you to remember the deep wisdom that already lives within your own body. Your body has always known the way.
Gabriela Gutierrez is a Spanish–Welsh writer, poet, mythologist, and scholar of ancient religion whose work explores the intersection of myth, ritual, and ecology. Her research is concerned with recovering the animistic worldviews that preceded institutional religion and asking how their ways of understanding the sacred might speak meaningfully to contemporary life.

Descending into the Underworld
to Come Home to the Truth of Who You Are
Meet lina lanestrand
What if the path home to the truth of who you are leads through the portal into the sacred darkness, where you set off on your own underworld journey, just like Persephone does at the Autumn Equinox?
I know Lina very well, and I have witnessed the soul transformation she’s gone through as she has walked the shamanic path, becoming a Shamanic Seidr Magic Priestess and Teacher of Shamanic Energy Medicine.
Lina shares so openly about her descent into the underworld, meeting her shadows, and the demons of patriarchy and the imbalanced feminine that had taken hold within her.
She speaks of the courage it took to stay in the darkness, and to finally say YES to the light within her.
She has transformed from the inside out, through having set off on her own shamanic journey into the underworld. She can now feel her soul's guidance through her body's deeper wisdom (sometimes in surprising ways 😊).
Lina invites us to be willing to be nailed by truth, because that is how we can come home to who we truly are, and to have the courage to descend into the underworld, so we can move through our own soul transformation – just like Persephone does.
Lina Lanestrand is a Shamanic Practitioner, Transformational Coach, NLP Master Practitioner, Teacher of Energy Medicine, and Shamanic Priestess and Tradition Keeper of the Völva path - the way of the Wise Woman in Nordic shamanic tradition and Seidr Magic. She has a Master's degree in Intercultural Education and more than 20 years experience in leadership development, coaching, training and wellbeing.
Lina runs shamanic trainings in Sweden (in Swedish). You can read more here. To find out more about Lina visit linalanestrand.se.
I can warmly recommend Lina – she is part of my own Teacher Team for the Shamanic Energy Medicine Master Practitioner and Seidr Magic Priestess training (you can read more on nordiclight.academy).
The Norse Creation Myth of Fire and Ice
A shamanic Journey to awaken your feminine magic
Can you sense how there is this ancient feminine magic lying dormant within your bones, like an inner sleeping potential, just waiting for you to awaken her?
This is the topic of this episode, which is an interview Lina Lanestrand did with me, for her Goddess Summit, where I talk about the Norse Creation Myth of Fire and Ice, and how it shows us the sacred clues for how we can awaken this ancient feminine magic within us.
This is a feminine wisdom that embodies both the structural feminine, which is the power of ice, the feminine magic that holds our ancient witch consciousness that births new worlds into being – and the fiery feminine, which is the power of fire, the fire of our love. A fire that is the spark of creation that causes life to blossom and expand.
At the end of this episode I also guide you on a shamanic journey to two ancient wells: the Well of Love, which ignites the fire of our love, and the Well of Magic, which ignites the power of our structural feminine. And together, we also journey to the Cosmic Womb, so you can receive the light of something new.
The journey begins at 43.38 (but do listen to the talk beforehand, as it gives you the MAP for the journey, allowing you to go much deeper in your own healing journey).
If you want to journey even deeper into the mythical landscape of your soul, then you are most welcome to join me on one of my online courses or shamanic trainings where we dive deep into the wisdom found in shamanic energy medicine and ancient goddess myths, such as the new online course Awaken Your Shamanic Witch Priestess (read more here), and also the Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner and Seidr Magic Training (you can read more on nordiclight.academy).
Journey into the magic of earth, water, air and fire
A shamanic Body magic journey with the four elements
The four elements of earth, water, air and fire are not just symbolic metaphors but living forces within our bodies and the Earth.
Together they form a spiralling rhythm of descent, transformation and ascent, where we descend into the Earth and the Womb of the Dark Mother, held in her sacred birth Waters.
We then breathe in the Air of new inspiration, which guides us into a rebirth through the sacred Fire – a fire that also gives us the energy we need so we can begin our journey of ascent.
In this episode, which is from my new online course Awaken Your Shamanic Witch Priestess, I share a short lecture on the four elements on how they live in the body, the goddess archetypes associated with each, and what we can do to be in balance with them.
And finally, I guide you on a shamanic journey where you connect with the elements of earth, water, air and fire - and as this journey is based on my osteopathic understanding of the body, it is filled with Shamanic Body Magic (journey begins at 14.10).

Meet your inner maiden, mother, queen and crone
A shamanic journey with the four feminine archetypes
Your womb is far more than a physical organ – it is a sacred portal, a gateway between worlds, a cauldron of magic, transformation, creation, life and rebirth.
This is your seat of feminine magic, and in this sacred cauldron you find the gifts and medicine of the four feminine archetypes – Maiden, Mother, Queen and Crone.
Just as spring, summer, autumn, and winter each offer their own gifts and medicine to the land, our inner feminine archetypes bring their own gifts and medicine to us too.
These feminine archetypal presences live within every woman as inner wisdom keepers, guiding us to tune into the whispers of our heart and soul, so we can move through life in sync with the cosmic heartbeat of the Great Mother.
The Maiden awakens and says YES to what lights her up. The Mother creates and births her dreams into being. The Queen claims the throne of her sovereignty and chooses with discernment what she gives her time, energy and focus to, and the Crone is the sacred elder who walks between worlds, holding the ancient codes of life, death and rebirth.
In this episode, which is from my new online course Awaken Your Shamanic Witch Priestess, I share a short lecture on these four archetypes, and then I guide you on a shamanic journey to meet your inner Maiden, Mother, Queen and Crone (journey begins at 12.05).
Find out more about this new online course Awaken Your Shamanic-Witch-Priestess here.
Ignite the fire of love
A journey with the norse goddess freya
Freya’s name means Our Lady, and the deepest root of her name means to love.
She carries the golden light of our soul – the magical fire of love that is the essence of all creation.
She is the witch in the Völuspá who was burned and reborn three times; and as she rose from the fire, she became the First Völva, the one who embodies the power of Seidr Magic.
She then travelled the world, teaching the wise women Seidr, so they could awaken their inner feminine magic too.
In this episode, which is from my new online course Awaken Your Shamanic Witch Priestess, I share a short lecture on Freya, and then you go on a shamanic journey with Freya, igniting the Fire of Love in your heart (journey begins at 6.12).
It is this Fire of Love that is the compass the Shamanic-Witch-Priestess follows, so it becomes her guide, showing her where to go, what to do, what to say and to whom.

The golden thread
The Ancient feminine wisdom wired into your dna
Did you know that there is an ancient feminine wisdom wired into your DNA, held in your mitochondria, which has been passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation, for thousands of years? A living, golden thread that connects you, right now, to the Ancient Mothers of your maternal bloodline.
In this episode, drawn from the introduction to my new online course Awaken Your Shamanic Witch Priestess, we journey into the sacred science behind this magic: how your mitochondria nourish, guide and protect you – like a Wise Mother from deep within – how your body is wired to receive the healing medicine from both the darkness and the light, and how our ancient shamanic traditions honoured this same feminine wisdom long before we had words for it.
We also follow the golden thread of feminine magic through time, past the distortion and silencing of the feminine, all the way back to the truth that was never truly lost – a truth that has kept flowing, like a Golden River of Feminine Wisdom, deep within the mythical landscape of our soul.
A truth that helps us remember that our ancient source of feminine magic is GOOD, and through this remembering our inner shamanic-witch-priestess awakens.

Mary magdalene
The Ancient Wisdom of Mary Magdalene is Rising Again
Mary Magdalene is a powerful Death Maiden – like a Valkyrie – guiding us through the sacred portal of death, life, and rebirth.
She had to trust the spiritual eye of her heart when she witnessed Yeshua after he had risen.
No one else could validate her experience. And still, she shared her visions, her soul gifts, and her healing medicine with others – and I feel this is one of her greatest gifts to us: To help us trust our own deeper knowing.

Weave a New Story into Being
Meet the Norse Goddess Saga - the goddess who can see into the future by tracking the strands of what is coming.
In Swedish her name means 'story, so Saga can also help us become free of our old stories, so we instead can weave new stories into being, by becoming more conscious of the energy we infuse into our thoughts, words and actions.
The shamanic journey is pretty hard-hitting and will absolutely help you shift your focus - from fear to love, and from doubt to trust - so you can weave a new story into being.
Shed Your Old Skin So New Life Can Emerge
In this journey, you'll connect with the Tree of Life (your nervous system) where you'll be working on releasing what has kept you trapped in the past, through your roots (ancestral patterns and old programming).
You'll also work with the beautiful, ancient healer, the Serpent Mother, who is a symbol for the goddess, for healing, regeneration and rebirth.
She shows us how we can gently let go of our old identities, old wounds and scars, just like she sheds her skin.
During this journey you'll release many layers of that which has been holding you back, so you can move with more ease into the future.
Healing Journey with the Norse Goddess Freya
Release the old you, so the new you can be reborn.
Freya embodies the golden light of the feminine found in your ancestral lineage.

Heal deeply and move through a Soul Retrieval with the Norse Goddess Ran
Ran will guide you on a very healing journey, and she also takes you through a soul retrieval process, where you connect with the light-filled essence of who you truly are.

A selection of Shamanic Healing podcast episodes from
Awaken Your Inner Wisdom
Finding Your Magic
In this episode, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling pretty stuck in a dark place, and disconnected from her loved ones.
Through the initial linguistic part of our session, she starts to discover what it is that she needs to connect with in order for her to shift, transform, and heal this.
I then track the problem energy, where I discover how this energy is holding her in a bind, and I also track the steps we need to journey through in order for her to heal this.
I recommend listening to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us, as this healing session may also bring up things that you might want to witness and transform and heal - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal this within you too.
Reclaiming Your Soul's Light
In this episode you'll meet a lovely lady, who’s feeling trapped and really stuck - as if she can’t move forward in life. She’s frustrated, and at times she feels helpless and totally drained of energy.
Through the linguistic part of the session, she discovers how this is like an old story that’s been passed down to her. She begins to see the threads of this old story that are now poisoning her, and also the positive threads she wants to weave into the New Story of her life - threads she's now choosing.
As I track her, I can see how she’s being held in a bind - a really strong one - and as we go on this shamanic journey together, she begins to release this, so she instead can embrace the medicine that's waiting for her.
She also moves through a soul retrieval, where she gets her soul’s light, magic and voice back.
Meeting the Loving Witch of Magic
In this episode you’ll meet a lovely lady, who's longing to follow the path of feminine magic, but she feels her mind is stopping her. It’s as if something is holding her back.
Through the linguistic part of our session, she discovers that she has a deep fear of stepping into her feminine magic, because she fears how it can be misused, and to protect the purity of this magic, she’s buried it deep within.
As I track what's going on in the mythical landscape of her soul, I can witness how there’s an energy holding her in a tight grip, preventing her from moving on to the path of her Highest Destiny – which is the path of feminine magic! It’s so clear that this is what her soul really longs for her to step into.
We then set off on our shamanic journey together, where she begins to realise that it’s now safe for her to awaken this powerful, ancient feminine magic within her, so she can create more light and magic and goodness in the world.
Awaken Your Soul's Ancient Wisdom
In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling really tired, and with a heavy sadness in her heart, causing her heart to contract.
She’s terrified of walking her path – the path where she’s helping others in a deep way – but in order for her to walk this path, she has to wake up to the truth of who she truly is.
In my tracking (which this time is of the Tree of Life), I can witness how she’s buried aspects of her soul’s light in her roots on the left (feminine), and how she needs to WAKE HER UP!
As she moves through the shamanic healing journey, she awakens her feminine power and ancient wisdom, and she also begins to realise the Mighty Beings that are walking beside her.
Your Body is a Portal
In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling that her body is her enemy, and this is stopping her from living a life. It’s also stopping her from stepping into service to the world, as she is unable to tap into her full power.
Through our linguistic part of the session, we start to see how this is a pattern of a deeper conflict between the mind and the body, the masculine and the feminine.
In my tracking, I can see how this energy is linked with how the feminine has been trapped in layers of abuse, suppression and violation from the masculine, from patriarchy.
Through our shamanic healing journey, she begins to release this, to shed this, so she instead can embrace the power and light of the feminine – which in this session appears as a similar energy as the Valkyries from the Norse tradition.
Walking with Giants
In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling attacked, where she gets the blame although she hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s as if she’s being persecuted.
Now, an energy within her is beginning to rise, telling her that this is no longer acceptable. This is the energy of the feminine, and it’s longing to RISE within her.
In my tracking, I begin to witness how this problem energy is affecting her in the mythical landscape of her soul. It’s an energy that’s revealing the deep wounds in both her inner masculine and feminine, and we are being taken on a very magical journey, where she moves through a deep transformation and healing.
In the end, her inner feminine transforms into a giantess, and her inner masculine becomes a giant. So, as she continues on her path through life, following her heart, she now walks with two giants beside her (plus her whole Spirit Team).
Awaken Your Inner Wisdom

The Dark Night of the Soul Births Your Light
In this episode I talk about how the Dark Night of the Soul invites us to go on an underworld journey – a journey that moves us through such a deep transformation that we will be forever altered.
A journey that births the light of a new consciousness, as it's the darkness that births the light.
A journey that helps us transform wounds into wisdom, and shadows into light, so we can pass on the healing medicine to our future lineage.

Meet mystic Maya Luna, who's also an oracular poet and teacher of deep feminine wisdom.

On this journey you meet your inner Maiden, Mother, Queen and Crone. This journey was part of the interview with Debs, in the episode called Meet the Womb Shaman and Spirit Keeper of the Wild Feminine. But it's such a fabulous journey that I wanted to feature it also as a standalone, so you can listen to it at any time you'd like to go deeper into the wisdom of your womb.
