Elen of the Ways

Elen of the Ways/Stars is the guardian and protector of the ancient pathways on the earth and up to the stars.  She is the antlered goddess.  And often shape-shifts into a deer and travels with the deer herds.  You can follow her by following the deer trods and sensing her energy through the soles of your feet.  You can also sense the ancestors who walked these ancient pathways.

Whenever I think of Elen, especially on my daily walks, I find myself going into this space between the worlds, not here and not there---in the betwixt and between.  And it came to me that these ancient trackways, the spirit roads and the faery paths are the betwixt and between energetically that we can travel.  That they are the portals between the worlds, another dimension so to speak.

Some believe these ancient pathways are the paths the shamans travel in their ecstatic journeys.  I had a dream that I was flying over the earth in Ireland and I was following the edge of a rock formation across the land, perhaps an ancient boundary, and I met two other shamans also traveling the ridge, only coming toward me. We greeted each other and kept on traveling.  

Ancient pathways also reach up to the stars.  Some cultures believe that the Milky Way is the path of the deer, and is the primordial mother of life.  They believe we came from the constellation Cygnus and travel here through the milky way and are born here, and at death we travel back to Cygnus.  So Elen of the Ways is a psychopomp guiding the soul back home.

May Elen of the Ways/Stars guide you on your path today, both on land and in the stars,
Blessings,
​JeanneMarie

    I am a lover of the Celtic Path of the Heart and have been practicing shamanism for over 25 years.  It is the language of my heart.
