This episode is from a journey I did with my shamanic energy medicine students, where you meet the Norse Dark Goddess Ran.Ran will guide you on a very healing journey, and she also takes you through a soul retrieval process, where you connect with the light-filled essence of who you truly are.You will also meet the Norse Dark Goddess Hel, who helps you to become more whole, as she is a portal of life, death and rebirth. You’ll also meet the Norse goddess Freya, who is a powerful healer, witch, high priestess and the First Völva, which is a female shaman in the Norse tradition. Freya represents the light in our soul – so she is the essence of our light-filled magic, feminine wisdom and power.I first go through a talk, which gives you the map of the journey (please make sure you listen to the talk first, it is only 9 minutes long). And then the journey is around 50 minutes – and it is a very deep shamanic journey, deep into the landscape of your soul.PS. The Norse scholar Maria Kvilhaug has written an amazing book called The Seed of Yggdrasil, and she is a master in decoding the Norse myths, so I warmly recommend you get her book.

In this gentle, healing and cleansing shamanic journey, that has been inspired by the holy wells found in Glastonbury - the heart chakra of the world - you’ll meet the Dark Mother and her daughters, the Dark Goddesses. You’ll also connect with the Tree of Life, which represents the different worlds of reality, with the trunk being our connection with the middle world, the branches connecting us with the upper world, so with the cosmos and that which we are becoming, and with the roots connecting us with the lower world, and our past, so our roots are connecting us with our ancestors.You’ll also be connecting with the sacred wells of Glastonbury, the White Spring, which is the sacred well of the Divine Masculine, and the Red Spring which is the sacred well of the Divine Feminine, and the Dark Well, which is the sacred well of the Dark Mother, so you can come home to her love for you.At the end of the journey you’ll receive messages from the Divine Mother on how you may serve the Divine Feminine, so you can share Her healing wisdom with others, as it is this wise, loving, compassionate and fierce wisdom the world needs right now.This was recorded live on the Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner Training.
