As we go into the Autumn Equinox, we can seek guidance from the rune Ken or Kennaz – the Old Norse rune most associated with this turning of the seasons. And it seems to me that this year, its guidance is needed more than ever, because Ken symbolises the ultimate in the sort of blazing…

I’ve been understanding a lot more about water as a living entity in recent times. But the journey began for me decades ago when it dawned that I would always get my best inspiration in the bath. It was around the same time that I learned of Dr Emoto’s work with water. Then I gradually…

I’ll probably get drummed out of the women’s movement for this article, but here it is anyway. The magical, co-creatrix powers of the woman are at their greatest when she’s in the home. There, I said it. Actually, the truth is, I never was in the women’s movement. I just hovered around the edges of…

A young man asked me recently: “Don’t you ever take a day off?” I just shook my head, smiling. It seemed an odd concept to me, that I would take a day off from being who I am. Why would I want to do that? I’m having so much fun! Shamanism is not something you…

I’d be interested to know how many trillions are spent each year on the search for enlightenment. And out of all those good folk forking out for it with various gurus, swamis, pilgrimages and courses, how many know what it is they are actually seeking when they say they want enlightenment, or whether they would…

If you were to ask me who I think is the most powerful guru on the planet right now, my answer might surprise you. It’s Wim Hof, aka the Iceman. I think that if everyone listened to him, the whole medical industrial complex would collapse, and the grifts of all the false Indian guru-jis, who…

Tomorrow marks the beginning of a highly potent moon rites festival for womb shamans that goes back for thousands of years. In Italy, it is called Nemoralia after the sacred Lake Nemi in whose holy waters the high priestesses of Diana would bathe in the moonlight, and the Vestal Virgins would carry their holy flames…

When I began writing about the archaeological evidence for shamanic sex rites on my forum, Ishtar’s Gate, in the early 2000s, I was one of the first to air the subject. But by the time I’d compiled those posts into The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar, the notion of sacred love-making was starting to go…

For once I think Boris Johnson may be on the right track. He said yesterday that his removal was the greatest stitch-up since the Bayeux Tapestry. I wonder if that was just a flippant remark, or whether he’s aware that the power structure in this country was originally stitched up in the frames of the…

I remember early in my shamanic training feeling horrified when our teacher told us that we’d gain great wisdom from working with our ancestors. “What that bunch of drunks?” I thought to myself, “I’ve never seen them sober, especially that lot from Liverpool. You’re saying that I should go to them for spiritual advice?” The…

In my book The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar, I shared as much as I knew, seven years ago, about these ancient love rites that spark up the inner elixirs which lead to wisdom, enlightenment and sovereignty. And so if you’re a beginner to the subject, it is still the best source of grounding in…
