Celtic Shamanism draws its energetic force from the roots of Celtic spirituality. A shaman is at one with the land and it is easier to forge a connection with the land you were born from. It is harder to connect with a distant land, possible, but much harder. It can be difficult to connect to animals and plants for example which are not familiar to your own natural environment. Even though energetically we are all connected and there are no such things as time or distance in a universal sense, unless you are exceptional at visualisation it can be challenging when you don’t have that physical connection, that special magnetic bond with your own land.

The way of the Shaman is a natural form of living and working in a very connected way to all living things. The word Shaman comes from the Tungus people of Siberia and means one who knows. The Shaman is one who seeks to connect to all things, often called the walker between worlds; someone who seeks harmony in both the physical and the spiritual. In this system, which is a very loose free form set of beliefs and practices, which vary from person to person, it is viewed that all things are alive and are connected. Everything around us;  animals, trees, plants, rocks, stones, fish, insects, people and the very land itself each being in possession of a soul or spirit and none being more important than the other and all having their place within the overall harmony of the web of life.
