Exploring our shamanic landscapes and bringing them to life in ordinary reality.Exploring Seidr
Using the ancient practice of seidr in our modern day lives and shamanic practices.
There are two main ways that shamanism works, the more traditional way of using the skills of a shamanic practitioner to do work on behalf of an individual or community or, as many people are now doing, learning to find help, healing and empowerment on their own behalf.
Although you may have an idea of the work you would like to do practitioners may seek guidance from the spirits as to what work is most appropriate. The spirits may agree with what has been requested or have other suggestions. Please do not take this personally, shamanism is spiritual work and it is the spirits who know how, if at all, it is appropriate for you to work together. Once you have heard what they suggest it is your choice if this is the work you want to do at this time.
Follow your instincts as to who is right for you to work with, you may want to talk to a few people before deciding. Some questions that may help you make your choice are:-
If you do not live in London try the core shamanic practitioner circle where there is a list of people from different parts of the country who agree to work within the code of ethics of the circle core shamanic practitioner circle
