Accept that everything you are told is wrong, even this.
You are now free to find your own truth, your own path.
You are free to believe what you only need to remember; what you already know...
I was born a child of the universe, family scapegoat, black sheep, confonder of expectations,
focus of desire, despair; lightening rod for family trauma and drama. A child also of Saxon
invaders and Derbyshire hill tribes. As a child I saw, heard and felt things few admit to.
I have been on the edge of worlds so long now it is like breathing. I spent my twenties
exploring, running, and now here I am, putting down roots. Having been pagan from the bones
out forever, for a year and more I searched for the path that would tie my changing passions
together and carry me ever forward. My husband and I are nested just a short way from the
Ridgeway and all its sacred sites; surrounded by crow and calf, oak and ash. Here, in the
Spring of 2003 I came to face the future, and found a mentor, guides and fellow
wanderers...not here, but an ocean away, with the Society of Celtic Shamans.
In September 2003 I signed for a 2 year apprenticeship as a Faery Shaman. Things change rapidly
for me, and it seems every month brings a new way for me to guide, counsel, heal and inspire.
I hardly feel able to contain them all, let alone master them. But I used to close my eyes
and see a shining figure walking slowly towards me. Now I close my eyes and I look down and
I see myself, one foot stepping after the other, following in tracks thousands of years old,
made by my own tribe...and that, in the end, is the only answer to any doubts I might have...

This is the third path I was conscious of following.
