The Re-emergence of the Shaman in Our Time

I often mention that in the Western world, when we hear the word "shaman," most of us tend to conjure up an image of a masked and costumed indigenous tribal person, dancing around a fire in the dark, involved in some sort of mysterious ritual, accompanied by singing and drum beats. But inside that cultural shell of mask, costume and ritual, there is a woman or a man with a set of very real skills. The shaman is the master of the trance experience.

A Healing Meditation in the Sacred Garden

Allow me to draw from the book that my wife Jill Kuykendall and I co-authored—Spirit Medicine: Healing in the Sacred Realms—to offer you a gift. If you have a serious health issue, here is a healing meditation that you can do in your sacred garden, your inner place of power and healing (also see my book The Journey to the Sacred Garden) for 30 minutes or more, at least once or twice each day.

New Beginnings: The transition from 2012 to 2013

This is a good time for character refinement, doing the work needed to put our three souls—spiritual, mental, and physical—into Right Relationship.

An Encounter in Egypt with Isis

Many in our workshops have expressed interest in my visionary encounters with the spirits, and so I have decided to share some of the more interesting ones that have happened across the years. In 2003, for example, I visited Egypt for the first time, and there was one deity in particular for whom I felt great attraction—the goddess Isis.

Thoughts About the New Spiritual Complex

On December 10, 2011, the New York Times ran a column in their Op-Ed section titled Undecided about God in which the author, Eric Weiner, proclaimed with conviction that Americans are a nation of talkers and self-confessors who are terrible when it comes to talking about God. In his opinion, this is because the discourse has been co-opted by the so-called True Believers, on the one hand, and by the Angry Atheists, on the other. But what about the rest of us, he asks?
