Fully trained shamanic practitioner, spiritual counsellor, herbalist and author, Dean has run a small spiritual healing practice in Lincolnshire for several decades. As a practicing pagan and self professed heathen (Germanic pagan) he has been lucky enough to be accepted as as Godi (ritual specialist) for Three Castles heathen kindred in the UK. He is also part of Asatru UK's ritual team.
Traditionally the tribal shaman acted as healer, counsellor, diviner and ritual leader for the community so the website is ordered in this way.
Shamanism is probably the oldest spiritual and healing modality in the world, but its still practiced today by tribal people around the world. Shamanism is not a religion itself, but a set of spiritual techniques that is compatible with all religions and with none. It is based on a general belief that everything has a spiritual root cause and so we must work with the spirits to heal any issues that arise. Seiðr is a culturally specific from of shamanism practiced by the Norse people of Northern Europe in the early middle ages.
We can employ a range of powerful shamanic techniques to both diagnose and help support any imbalances and overcome dis-ease.
Many plants have gentle spirits that share the planet with us for the specific purpose of helping other beings with their spiritual evolution and healing. The power of the green world can be accessed in several ways and our therapists are trained not only in both western herbalism and Ayurveda, but in several shamanic techniques that enable you to engage the power of plant spirits without actually having to ingest any plant material at all. We can help you contact and work with the spirits of the green and identify you own powerful plant teachers to help with healing and rebalancing.
The shaman also acted as the tribes spiritual adviser. Skills are also badly needed today as in the modern materialisitic society many people are confused about their own spiritual development and want to seek guidance and support from others on their spiritual path. We can use a range of techniques to explore your issues, identify any blockages, and help you produce a plan to put you back on track, including life prupose, meditation, visualisation, NLP, kundalini work and several energy healing modalities that you can use yourself to rebalance your own energetic system.
As a trained celebrant and ceremonial leader we can plan and run your own public ceremonies to celebrate your individual life stages. Naming ceremonies, coming of age rituals, initiations, Blót & Sumbl, despacho ceremones, cacao ceremonies, weddings and handfastings , elder making, and funerals. Norse and heathen ceremonies are a particular specialisation, though we can are happy to work with you to co-ordinate any spiritual non-mainstream religious ceremony tailored to your own individual needs.
