Release the old you, so the new you can be reborn 💛 We're in a very powerful rebirth portal right now, and this healing and restorative shamanic journey with the Norse Goddess Freya is then perfect to do, as it fills you up with so much light, that it's easier to have the energy needed to move through this rebirth. Freya embodies the golden light of the feminine found in your ancestral lineage. For you, she may of course manifest as Freya, but she might also show up as Brigid, or Mary Magdalene, or in whichever way this radiant, magical, golden feminine energy appears to you. This deeply healing journey allows you to shed the old you, so the new you can be reborn. At the end, you’ll spend a few minutes writing a letter to yourself, from this golden light of the feminine, which is found within your heart (and in your core). Trust this golden light of the feminine to be the midwife, guiding you through this rebirth 💛

Dear Divine Mothers Thank you for guiding me, holding me, supporting me, and awakening me, to the truth of who I am. The truth that I’m a daughter of the universe, a shining star in an earthly body, a miracle of love in human form, with an ancient wisdom living inside my bones, coursing through my veins – the ancient wisdom and magic of the Wise Woman, who’s meant to rise once more. And as she rises within me, I can feel her guiding me, showing me how I can weave more light and love and wisdom and feminine magic into our world, so I can help to birth a new consciousness into being. And so it is. And so it is. And so it is. Blessed be. Blessed be. Blessed be. Prayer by Cissi Williams

This is a very powerful prayer to the Divine Mothers of Darkness and Light, which moves you through your own rebirth, awakening an ancient wisdom that lives inside of you. You'll surrender to the Divine Mothers all that which you are meant to let go of, so you can let the Wise Woman within you RISE once more, helping to birth a new consciousness into being. This prayer emerged through me when I was sitting in Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury, the sacred well of the Divine Feminine, and I could feel Her presence within me.

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 first module of the Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner Training.

This shamanic journey, where we journey through our sacred womb space (normally we journey through our mystical heart) into the World of Spirit, meeting the Dark Goddesses, was born in the Black Madonna Chapel, on the Glastonbury & Stonehenge shamanic retreats. This is a very healing journey, into the sacred darkness, where you'll meet the dark goddess Kali, who'll help you release various limiting thought patterns and false beliefs; the Norse dark goddess Hel, who will help you release toxins, old ancestral programming and heavy energy; the Black Madonna, who will help you forgive yourself and others, so your love can reach deep into your very being, and the Celtic dark goddess Cerridwen who will help you find the medicine you need. You'll also journey to the Land of Ice to melt what's frozen in your nervous system, in your psyche, so you can reconnect with your life force and divine light. You can read more about the shamanic trainings here.

This is a very shamanic and deeply healing journey that was born on one of the Glastonbury shamanic trainings, when we were in the underground chapel of the Black Madonna. The energy there is AMAZING - and I could feel her come through so strongly also when I recorded this journey for you. Please use your breath and your body to help you release heavy energies, so feel free to move your body during the journey, and use your hands to move the energy into the 'fire' - the divine fire of the Black Madonna. Only do this journey when you are AWAKE, and I would recommend sitting up (although you may want to lie down for parts of it - so trust your intuition - but do sit up for most of it if you can). Enjoy this very healing journey with the loving and compassionate Black Madonna. You can read more about the shamanic practitioner trainings here.
