Celtic-Norse Shaman

Just an average, like-minded individual who has been discovered by the spirits of his own ancestral heritage and now travels a different path, that of peace and harmony. This revelation would lead to a multi-decade path of spiritual growth and learning from his own family’s ancestors of antiquity. These spiritual explorations would lead to the expansion of a consciousness that would bridge the human mind to that of a spiritual realm, a place of infinite intellect and wisdom, thereby achieving a personal enlightenment. A kaleidoscope of individuals from my personal history, the knowledge relayed from these spiritual relationships have offered a detailed insight into the physical behaviors caused by the influence of energies around us. Whether healing the mind, or the body, understanding our interactivity with the spiritual portion of our existence is a critical element in establishing a well-balanced physical and obtaining a better mental health.

During the times of my ancestors, they believed in a strong bond with the deities, especially the Norse god Tyr. Tyr represented and modeled the power of courage to assist us in living our own lives, unapologetically.
