Celtic Shamanism Classes
Intro to Celtic Shamanism class Celtic Shamanism is very different from core shamanism and so I do require all students to take the Intro to Celtic Shamanism class prior to taking the 2 year training in Celtic Shamanism. For this class, you do need to know how to journey and have a good working relationship with your power animal. (I teach this process in the Intro to Core Shamanism class). I do need to clarify that Celtic Shamanism is not WICCA. Celtic shamanism is based on the ancient Celts beliefs and way of life. My Celtic training was primarily taught by Tom Cowan who has taken ancient Celtic beliefs and has taught how we can implement these beliefs and rituals in our lives today. In this Celtic class you will learn about the values of the ancient Celts, their beliefs and way of being in the world. You will go on an Omen Hunt to divine information for yourself. We will look at terms that are often used within the Celtic literature--the concepts of the betwixt and between, mist walking, the four festivals and more. This training is offered both in-person and as an audio online class and is required if you wish to attend further classes in Celtic Shamanism.
2 year in-person Celtic Shamanism training. (I am in the process of changing the format of this training, breaking it up into shorter time lines, check back this summer for the new formats. Prices remain the same. Read further the old information). This training requires that you have taken the Intro to Celtic Shamanism class. In this training, the first year we work with the Celtic Spirit Wheel and the four main festivals of the year, and the gods/goddesses connected with those festivals. You will also learn some Celtic techniques for divination and learn about life as an Ancient Celt. In our second year we focus more on learning healing techniques including working with the Cauldrons of the Soul and Faery Doctoring. I will be breaking this training up beginning with a 5 class study of the Celtic Spirit Wheel, the five directions, and the four main festivals of the Celtic year. And then Cauldrons of the Soul will be an independent class as will Faery Doctoring. Both of these classes are currently being formatted into this new format for Celtic studies.
