Mystical Shaman Oracle

Legends say that before there was time, before there was language, there were the sacred symbols. The Medicine Wheel, the Curse, the Eagle, the Jaguar, and others spoke to us intimately. In their countless manifestations, they offered hope, expressed caution, illuminated opportunity, inspired creation, courted power, and shared knowledge. The sacred symbols belong to the realm of archetypes and the collective unconscious, the spiritual common ground shared by peoples modern and ancient.

Now, three master teachers and healers- Alberto Villoldo , Colette Baron-Reid , and Marcela Lobos - have brought their wisdom and talents together to offer a doorway into the realm of the sacred symbols with the Mystical Shaman Oracle . When you consult the oracle, you summon power and insight that can help you understand the present, heal the past, and influence the course of your future.

We can become our own prophets and visionaries. We can converse directly with Spirit, dialogue with the forces of nature, speak with the great archetypes-the ancient gods-without intermediaries. No one needs to stand between the Creator and you, or between you and the great powers of nature.

Spirit Animal Oracle

 

Internationally acclaimed oracle expert and best-selling author Colette Baron-Reid has created a unique oracle card deck that opens a gateway to Spirit through the archetypal energies of the living beings that share our planet.

Animals, Colette explains, are allies for our souls and act as our teachers and sacred healers--but our disconnected way of life has often blinded us to this truth. Now, however, our world is poised for a shift as we begin to hear a call to renew our sacred connection to all that is. The 62 cards in this deck are tools to enable our transformation.

Each animal, two-legged or four-legged, feathered or finned, from water, earth, or sky, has the potential to deliver a special message aligned with your authentic need, arriving at just the right time and place. Each carries a transcendent archetypal symbolism and offers a message of enduring truth to help you act in a way that brings purpose, prosperity, and magic to your life. Every card in the deck has an essential meaning (for Antelope Spirit, it's "Life is speeding up!") along with a detailed Oracle Message and a helpful Protection Message. Canary Spirit, Dragonfly Spirit, even Electric Eel Spirit--all have essential wisdom to impart, if you're ready to listen.

"Something magical is stirring in the heart of our beautiful planet these days," Colette tells us. "Can you feel it too?" If the answer is yes, you've come to the right place.

Smudging

"Smudging" is the common name given to powerful cleansing technique from the Native American tradition; however, the burning of herbs for emotional, psychic, and spiritual purification is a common practice among many religious, healing, and spiritual traditions. It is a ceremonial way to cleanse a person, place or an object of negative energies or influences. It is also an effective method for energizing or blessing a person, place or object. You can smudge your home or work space as part of a general spiritual housecleaning, and you can cleanse crystals or other objects of any negative or lingering energy with a smudging ritual. 

It’s really personal preference as to when and how often to smudge. Here’s a list of just a few occasions where you may find it beneficial.

- during a full moon to help you release
- during a new moon to welcome new beginnings
- on the equinoxes
- before you meditate, start a ritual or healing session as well as after
- to cleanse your crystals
- when you first move into a home
- when you begin a new job or business
- after a negative guest leaves
- after an argument
- after a break up
- to lift your mood
- if your having trouble sleeping
- during an illness
- if you feel a ‘presence’ in your home
- when you bring a new piece of furniture/home decor into your home (especially if it’s a second-hand item)

When smudging, put the material of your choice in a shell, clay pot or other non-burnable container (putting some sand in the bottom of the container will help when/if you need to extinguish the smoke). Light it, allowing it to burn for a few moments. Fan out the flames, it is the smoke of the smoldering herbs or incense that clears negativity, cleanses, focuses and purifies.

If you are smudging your home, make sure to get the smoke into all 4 corners of each room, in closets and cupboards.  Starting in the furthest corner and working your way to the front door is an effective way to move the negative energy out of your space.  If you have a multi-level home you can start in the basement and work the energies up the stairs to the front door, do the upstairs next and finally the main floor to finish.  Once you are done open doors and windows to help pull out the moved energy.

Popular herbs and incense used:

Sage – purification

Desert Sage - purification

Cedar – renewal & protection

Sweetgrass – welcome good energy

Lavender – invitation of spirits

Myrrh – maintain a state of enlightenment

Frankincense – cleanse & protect

Copal – cleansing, protection & divination

Palo Santo – grounding & clearing

Pine – cleansing & protection

Mugwort – clarity & purification, carries & reflects moon energy

Encounters with Power: Adventures and Misadventures on the Shamanic Path of Healing

By Jose Luis Stevens

When you leave the beaten path of civilization, you enter the world of primal and mysterious forces and encounter wonders you never thought possible. This is the territory of the shaman. To learn the secrets of shamanism, Jose Stevens has traveled to the remote and wild places where the oldest human spiritual practice still exists in its purest form. With Encounters with Power, this respected teacher invites readers to experience his journeys to meet shamans around the globe and share in the wisdom he received. Join this master storyteller as he recounts his meetings with Spirit in its many guises, including: 


  • India and the Life-Changing Reading--at a turning point in his life, Jose receives a startlingly accurate prophecy
  • Lost in Mexico--a humbling education in the difference between "power" and "control"
  • The Guatemala Test and Initiation--the power of being frugal with judgment and generous with forgiveness
  • Encounters with the Power of Aborigines and Songlines Down Under--sometimes the teacher appears when the student is not ready
  • Journeys for Power with Medicine--visions with the plant spirit of ayahuasca
  • A Magical Andes Wedding--an unforgettable ceremony attended by people, spirits, and the forces of nature
  • The Dolphin Brujos--nature's tricksters teach a sharp lesson in responsibility and humility
  • Encounters with the Dark Shaman--a perilous jungle journey reveals the ferocity of nature and the dangerous side of shamanic practice
  • Nevado Aconcagua: Pilgrimage to a Sacred Mountain--how a holy place can be both a dangerous trial and a source of limitless support

Power is everywhere, encounters with power can happen any time. ‘In my travels to meet these extraordinary healers,’ writes Jose Stevens, I’ve had terrifying, enlightening, and at times hugely entertaining adventures. Power can destroy us or it can raise us up by teaching us and nourishing us. I may not be a master, but I have learned a few things that you may find helpful on your own quest.

Unified Theory of Happiness

By Andrea Polard

The Western world teaches us that happiness comes from achievement—from setting goals and actively pursuing them. Eastern wisdom teaches us that surrender is the key, that we must let go in order to experience the great flow of being that is only available in the present moment. How do we take the best wisdom from both of these approaches, and honor what Dr. Andrea Polard calls “the two wings of happiness” that allow us to truly soar?

Discover Dr. Polard's groundbreaking synthesis of Western thinking and Eastern philosophy with A Unified Theory of Happiness, a warm and personalized guide for the transformation of consciousness that allows personal well-being and fulfillment to flourish. While our lives are full of ups and downs, Dr. Polard teaches us that we don't have to let these ups and downs control our experience of life. A Unified Theory of Happiness teaches you the skills to choose and accept happiness by illuminating:

  • How to navigate the active “Basic Mode” and the non-active “Supreme Mode” of consciousness to respond to life's complexities with flexibility
  • Tools to build ambition, competence, confidence, and connection—essential aspects of reconciling with life's fragility and building an engaging, authentic self
  • Paths to receptivity, tranquility, reliance, and lightheartedness—keys to accessing your natural connection with the whole of being, and realizing your non-dual self
  • The Theory of Elastic Consciousness—a balanced place in perfect accord with an authentically lived life

“Happiness,” says Dr. Polard, “is a complex path that becomes easy only as we walk it.” At last, here is a work that provides a comprehensive understanding of happiness that honors the full spectrum of life's offerings while broadening your experience of its inherent joy.
