Experience life with more clarity
As a Tarot reader, Rune expert and experienced Shaman, I will help you reach a deeper understanding of yourself and find the best way forward.
With a unique blend of skills to draw on, I offer practical advice you can use to make real change in your life.
Whether I’m working with you as a therapist, teacher, or mentor, I will meet you where you are - with compassion, honesty and intuitive wisdom.
Core shamanic skills
So who is this course for?
-
You naturally feel drawn to shamanic work, and are looking to better understand it.
-
Maybe you work as an holistic therapist, but feel there is "more" to what you do.
-
You are fascinated by the runes and want to experience them in a shamanic, magical, and practical way.
-
You are looking for a spiritual teacher who will facilitate your journey rather than expect you to replicate theirs.
No previous experience is needed, though experienced practitioners welcome.
Why work with me?
My shamanic journey started in the 90's as I explored Druidy, but I really found my path in 1999 when I moved to Orkney to learn seidr, rune-lore, and shamanism through the wisdom tradition of Stav.
I now work full-time as an holistic practitioner and much of my work is focused on shamanic healing. Each client is unique- and with each client I have learnt a little more.
I now have a deep understanding of shamanic work and rune-lore through my client work, and have been teaching online and in person for over ten years.
I am delighted to blend my unique understanding of Core shamanism and rune-lore (which could be called "seidr") and present this in one cohesive course.
Have a browse of what I am offering- see if my way of working calls to you and your guides.
For each module:
-
PDF of notes exploring the focus.
-
Recorded shamanic journey for you to experience and practice.
-
Recorded audio of me reflecting on the focus, and sharing my experiences.
-

Community call
My teaching has grown from a circle chanting and chatting around candles, and for the last two years has included Zoom community calls.
Much as I love sitting around the fire- I know distance means that isn't always possible!
The community calls are our place to share our journey, share our wisdom and support each other. You can ask anything- and question anything.
Over time people will join, and start, so we won't all be focused on the same rune or tool at the same time. It will be a melting pot of ideas, reflections, with a little teaching thrown in.
As you're not driving you could even have a beer or mead at your side! Over the years I have come to value and enjoy the shared wisdom of the community calls.
The Zoom call will be on an evening, probably a Wednesday, and recorded incase you can't join live.
This course starts in June, but you can start at any point, working through the modules and bringing where ever you are to the community Zoom calls.
This is a format I have been working with for some years now. Teaching the runes and a shamanic (or seidr) connection to the runes using this concept. I know it works.
At first I was hesitant to teaching online, but I have learnt to love being able to connect with the right people regardless of location. And I have found a powerful way to blend tools, teaching, and community.
I am deeply rooted in my understanding of the tools I use, and after 5 years of teaching online, and over 10 years of teaching in person I am genuinely excited by combining all my skills in this one place.
So reach out, start when you are ready, and find your true shamanic self.
"Maddy brings such a down to earth, genuine approach to her shamanic work I have stuck with her like glue. I do not need anything else or cast about here and there for spiritual help or work.
I have continued to learn from her over the years, every shamanic journey is different, deeper and more profound and yet leaves me feeling more connected, more grounded and able to navigate the 'web' and this world"
