What is Celtic Shamanism?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two words are not synonymous together in fact the two words are nothing of the same together.<\/p>\n

The first understanding is what the words mean by themselves, and then we understand what they mean together.<\/p>\n

Celt, Celticism and Celtic:<\/p>\n

The Celts are a tribe of people that originated in Gaul (France) (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Celts<\/a> ) . Many people who assume the Celts were the people \u201cBlue People\u201d of Scotland.<\/p>\n

The true \u201cBlue People of Scotland\u201d were the Pectish (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Picts<\/a> ). There are many people who are miss lead by the movies and the romantic notion that the Celts were crazy lovers and a romantic people. This is not true at all. The \u201cCeltic People\u201d were warriors; they were a society (like many other) who invaded Scotland, Ireland and parts of England. The lands of Scotland were attacked by so many different tribes and societies that it is a wonder there were any original people to call Scottish. So, before you \u201cassume\u201d celtic this or Celtic that, always look around and get bellow the romantic \u201chistory\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now to the word Shaman, Shamanism, \u201cSh\u00e0man\u201d: the word \u201cShaman\u201d was not even used in America till the late 1800\u2019s, early 1900\u2019s (http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shamanism<\/a> ), the word stands for \u201cHealer\u201d, \u201cMedicine Man\u201d, the American people took the same and applied it to the \u201cNative American Medicine Man\u201d because they did not like the same and each tripe had a different name for their particular medicine man, or woman.<\/p>\n

Ok! Enough \u201chistory\u201d and plays on semantics. I am now going to explain the understanding of Celtic Shamanism, as I understand it by my guides and Council.<\/p>\n

Celtic Shamanism is a way of life that involves the acceptance of healing and death and the acceptance that there is not one, without the other.<\/p>\n

Celtic Shamanism is allowing people to be who and what they are, the allowing the world and the cosmos to be what it is, the \u201cbeing\u201d of acceptance and the acceptance of \u2026 \u201cI am\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n

Celtic Shaman is healers of the spirit, the mother, the father and the child of all. We are the ones who transverse plans without need for meditation, drugs or any form of mind altering state.<\/p>\n

I can give 100\u2019s of sites and books that will say Celtic Shamanism is this or that but, when you remove to romantic semantics and get down to the \u201cWoman\u201d or the \u201cMan\u201d living the life of the Celtic Shaman, we are a sect of people who want to help the humans, hate the humans, and know the humans are no better than anything else on this planet. We are the type of people who will work next to the blue collar worker and dig sewer from a ditch all in the same day. We are the people who form groups, only to watch the people in them tare each other apart trying to gain \u201ccontrol\u201d, knowing the whole time \u201ccontrol\u201d is an illusion. We are the people who find it hard to keep a relationship together because of everything it takes to make us whole, to make us who we are and to be aware of the freedom of who and what we are.<\/p>\n

You never \u201cbecome\u201d a Celtic Shaman. You either always were, always will be or been lost without it. If indeed you are the \u201cCeltic Shaman\u201d, only you can answer that.<\/p>\n

Good Luck.<\/p>\n
