Celtic shamanic healing in Ireland

"

The word shaman comes from the Siberian Tungus, naming the medicine woman or man who is healer, priestess and earth-wisdom keeper. Every culture has its own name for this role. Shamanism is the oldest known healing system on earth — at the heart of every indigenous tradition until industrialisation severed most of those threads. The last forty years have seen a real revival of the Celtic strand of that work, and a growing willingness to put it back into writing where it was once held entirely in oral memory.

01

What shamanic healing is

Shamanism is a spiritual practice with no dominion over creed or religion. It honours nature, holds spirit as present in all things, and refuses the idea of a being entirely separate from us. We feel spirit as the aliveness of energy within and around us.

A shamanic practitioner travels between levels of consciousness in an enhanced state of awareness, working with spirit guides and animal allies to bring back insight, healing and direction for someone who has temporarily lost their own access to those things.

02

What kinds of help are possible

Guidance and counsel through life transitions, ancestral healing where old family patterns are still moving through the present, soul retrieval after shock or loss, and the kind of long-overdue clearing that some people sense they need without being able to name it. Sessions are quiet, contained and held with care.
