Advanced Celtic Shamanism

Monday, March 15th, 2010

I have been seeking the balance between intense/heavy thinking, and simple literary pleasure. Not that I would ever suggest D.J. Conway to be “simple”; rather, she writes and presents information in a way that is pure pleasure – intellectual candy for my cerebral sweet tooth! I have a number of her books sitting idle, purchasing them with the notion that their time would come. I am constantly striving for balance – without the desire or the willingness to ever go too far in one direction. Despite my new appreciation for the Christian faith, I will never rescind my love for spirituality and the earth religions. I strongly believe that synchronicity and symbiosis exists between them.. and almost everything.

  • Myth has told us that the best physicians of the Celtic world gained their knowledge through the Otherworld (land of the fairies)
  • The soul, heart and mind needed to be in balance for the body to be healthy; the threefold pattern of the Celtic soul (coich anama); healers thus treated their patients holistically
  • The astral body of the shamanic healer was the part that made the journey into the Otherworld, according to the Irish who believed in reincarnation and soul travel
  • Meditation is necessary for anyone on the Celtic spiritual path
