Release the old you, so the new you can be reborn 💛
We're in a very powerful rebirth portal right now, and this healing and restorative shamanic journey with the Norse Goddess Freya is then perfect to do, as it fills you up with so much light, that it's easier to have the energy needed to move through this rebirth.
Freya embodies the golden light of the feminine found in your ancestral lineage. For you, she may of course manifest as Freya, but she might also show up as Brigid, or Mary Magdalene, or in whichever way this radiant, magical, golden feminine energy appears to you.
This deeply healing journey allows you to shed the old you, so the new you can be reborn. At the end, you’ll spend a few minutes writing a letter to yourself, from this golden light of the feminine, which is found within your heart (and in your core).
Trust this golden light of the feminine to be the midwife, guiding you through this rebirth 💛
Dear Divine Mothers
Thank you for guiding me, holding me, supporting me, and awakening me, to the truth of who I am.
The truth that I’m a daughter of the universe, a shining star in an earthly body, a miracle of love in human form, with an ancient wisdom living inside my bones, coursing through my veins – the ancient wisdom and magic of the Wise Woman, who’s meant to rise once more.
And as she rises within me, I can feel her guiding me, showing me how I can weave more light and love and wisdom and feminine magic into our world, so I can help to birth a new consciousness into being.
And so it is. And so it is. And so it is.
Blessed be. Blessed be. Blessed be.
This is a very powerful prayer to the Divine Mothers of Darkness and Light, which moves you through your own rebirth, awakening an ancient wisdom that lives inside of you.
You'll surrender to the Divine Mothers all that which you are meant to let go of, so you can let the Wise Woman within you RISE once more, helping to birth a new consciousness into being.
This prayer emerged through me when I was sitting in Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury, the sacred well of the Divine Feminine, and I could feel Her presence within me.
Meet Deborah Stanley, Womb Shaman and Spirit Keeper of the Wild Feminine.
Debs shares how her journey into the feminine path began, what the Queen Codes are, and how we can journey with the Celtic Wheel to tune into the wisdom of our womb.
She also takes you on an incredible shamanic journey into your womb, where you begin to tune into the Maiden, Mother, Queen and Crone energies within you.
Meet the amazing Seren Bertrand, who’s an award-winning author on feminine magic and wisdom. She’s written ‘Spirit Weaver: Wisdom Teachings from the Feminine Path of Magic’, ‘Womb Awakening’ and ‘Magdalene Mysteries’.
In this interview she shares teachings from the path of Feminine Magic, such as the difference between Grief and Trauma, what it means that Feminine Magic is gated, and why wisdom always comes with a price.
She also takes you on a magical journey where you start to connect more deeply with the feminine wisdom found in your roots.
In this gentle, healing and cleansing shamanic journey you’ll meet the Dark Mother and her daughters, the Dark Goddesses.
You’ll also connect with the Tree of Life, and with the sacred wells of Glastonbury; the White Spring, which is the sacred well of the Divine Masculine; the Red Spring which is the sacred well of the Divine Feminine, and the Dark Well, which is the sacred well of the Dark Mother, so you can come home to her love for you.
At the end of the journey you’ll receive messages from the Divine Mother on how you may serve the Divine Feminine, so you can share Her healing wisdom with others.
This shamanic journey, where we journey through our sacred womb space into the World of Spirit, meeting the Dark Goddesses, was born in the Black Madonna Chapel, on the Glastonbury & Stonehenge shamanic retreats.
This is a very healing journey, into the sacred darkness, where you'll meet the dark goddess Kali, who'll help you release various limiting thought patterns and false beliefs; the Norse dark goddess Hel, who will help you release toxins, old ancestral programming and heavy energy; the Black Madonna, who will help you forgive yourself and others, so your love can reach deep into your very being, and the Celtic dark goddess Cerridwen who will help you find the medicine you need.
You'll also journey to the Land of Ice to melt what's frozen in your nervous system, in your psyche, so you can reconnect with your life force and divine light.
This is a deeply healing journey that was born on one of the Glastonbury shamanic trainings, when we were in the underground chapel of the Black Madonna.
The energy there is AMAZING - and I could feel her come through so strongly also when I recorded this journey for you.
Please use your breath, your hands and your body to help you release heavy energies - and feel how you move the energy into the 'fire' - the divine fire of the Black Madonna.
Enjoy going on a deeply healing journey with the loving and compassionate Black Madonna.
Meet Freya, the Norse goddess of healing, magic, wisdom, love, fertility, war, death and rebirth. She will take you on a very healing journey where you start to awaken your inner magic.
Freya has sometimes been called the Queen of Witches and the Queen of the Valkyries – and she represents the wild feminine presence within our core, the golden light of our feminine magic and wisdom.
Freya is a teacher of Seidr - a very powerful form of Norse magic and shamanic healing, which was practised by völvas (female shamanic priestesses in the Norse tradition), and Freya was their teacher. They are called völvas because they had a staff – völva means staff carrier – and this staff is a representation of the Tree of Life, which helps us journey into the different domains of reality.
In this episode I first go through a talk about Freya, which will give you the map for our shamanic journey (so make sure you listen to this talk first).
And then, in our shamanic journey, you’ll step onboard Freya’s ship, Sessrumnir, and she’ll journey with you into the World of Spirit, helping you to connect with your inner feminine light, magic and wisdom.
This episode is from the interview Michael Stone did with me for the Shaman Wisdom Summit with The Shift Network in 2022.
In this interview I’ll take you on a healing shamanic journey to meet the Dark Goddess, who will help you transform old wounds, so you can awaken your inner magic, power, and ancient wisdom, and discover the soul gifts you are meant to share with others.
In this session, you’ll discover:
The Dark Divine Feminine is the source of all life, as she is the one who births the light
As you start your healing journey you realize you're the light, but then you're called to go deeper into the sacred darkness
As you journey into the sacred darkness, you heal deeply by birthing the golden medicine of your own inner sun
On this very healing shamanic journey you'll first cleanse and heal your roots, so you can strengthen your connection with your Ancient Mother.
You'll then journey to the sacred womb of the Dark Mother, where you'll go through a deep healing process, extracting and releasing from you that which is no longer serving you.
You'll receive the medicine from the Dark Mothers (Norse goddess Hel, the Celtic goddess Cerridwen and others who are working with you) drinking from their magical cauldron. They also initiate you into their teachings for you.
You'll also meet the Light Mothers, solar goddesses, such as Freya, Idun, Brigid and Isis, who will give you their medicine for you, and initiate you into the path you’ll be walking as you follow their guidance, their love, their wisdom.
This episode is from a recent journey I did with my shamanic energy medicine students, where you meet the Norse Dark 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.
You will also meet the Norse Dark Goddess Hel, who helps you to become more whole, as she is a portal of life, death and rebirth.
You’ll also meet the Norse goddess Freya, who is a powerful healer, witch, high priestess and the First Völva, which is a female shaman in the Norse tradition. Freya represents the light in our soul – so she is the essence of our light-filled magic, feminine wisdom and power.
This shamanic journey guides you deep into the mythical landscape of your soul - and it is perfect to do now as we journey into the cauldron of the sacred darkness of Samhain.
In this journey you'll meet the Norse Dark Goddess Hel, and Her Sisters, the other Dark Goddesses, such as Cerridwen, Hecate, Persephone, Kali, Isis and the Black Madonna.
They will help you step into your power, your truth, and your light, so you can awaken the ancient wisdom that is in your bones - the wisdom of the wise woman - so you can let her healing medicine be expressed through you, and out into the world.
Hel is an awesome goddess - and her name, in Swedish, means 'heal', 'whole' and 'holy' (helig). She is a portal of death and rebirth, and an amazing healer. TRUST HER!
This shamanic journey with Hel is perfect to do now during Samhain, where we enter the cauldron of the sacred darkness.
This is a very powerful shamanic journey where you awaken the kundalini goddess energy within you.
The very first time I met this powerful kundalini energy in a shamanic journey it took me by surprise. Before that I thought it was just a concept, but from this experience I realised that she truly exists, as a metaphor in the mythical and energetic domain of my soul and spirit.
She helped me restore my life energy, freeing me from the old ways where I had allowed myself to constantly give my energy away.
In this journey you'll first shed the past, and then you'll meet this powerful divine feminine energy so she can rise within you, connecting you with this ancient healing wisdom that is longing to be awakened within you.
Go on a shamanic journey through your chakras and also into your ancestral roots, where you'll meet the ancient witch - the wise woman within who is filled with feminine power and magic - from your own ancestral lineage.
The talk is from a webinar I did earlier, and the journey is from a live recording during the initial module of my Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner Training.
This is a VERY powerful journey where you start to awaken an ancient wisdom within you - your inner mystic, healer and wise woman, who is like an inner shaman that can guide you on your own healing journey.
According to the Norse Sagas, we each have our own personal norn, like an inner fate goddess - and she can either be a Valkyrie, acting as a guardian angel guiding us to create our highest destiny, or she can be a hibernating norn, meaning she is asleep!
When our inner fate goddess is a Valkyrie, we are living a life filled with purpose. But when she is hibernating, then we are sleepwalking through life, as if we are asleep to our own highest potential.
What’s great is that we can wake her up, so she can become like a Valkyrie!
In this talk and shamanic journey, you’ll start to do this – you start to awaken your inner Valkyrie, your inner fate goddess, so she can guide you to the steps you are meant to take so you can embody and express your highest potential – so you can share of your unique soul essence with the world.
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. Hence she also assists you in healing your body, as she represents how she can free herself from scars and disease by shedding her old structure.
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.
Start your day with tuning into the loving energies of the Divine Mothers of Darkness and Light, so you let them guide you throughout your day.
This prayer has been inspired by some of the teachings found in A Course in Miracles, weaved in with the divine wisdom of the feminine.
A evening prayer to release the day that's been, placing it all into the loving arms of the Divine Mothers.
This prayer has been influenced by the mystical teachings found in A Course in Miracles, weaved in with the wisdom of the Divine Feminine.
