Welcome to Guiding Spirit WA. My name is Joseph. I am an Animist Shamanic practitioner. The tradition I follow is found to come from the Celtic peoples that lived in the Alsace region and spans the areas of Bavaria, lower Germany , Eastern Europe across to Turkey. These areas of Europe were populated by a people living in constant areas that saw constant conflict and subjugation by many empires throughout history. This led to migration and the loss of their native spiritually. When you remove a groups spiritual practice, you strip away their connection to their Gods, Ancestors, history and social identity. These assimilation of population into a new belief system and their rituals, you exterminate their Identity. Christianity is the last spiritual identity adopted by the continent of Europe, pushing the ” Oldways” across to the areas of the British isles and north into the areas of the Balkins and Finland. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
with the Advent of DNA testing and the birth of Genetic genealogy, many people of European decent, began asking where they came from, who their Ancestors were and how conquest , migration and assimilation changed the world they once came from and a lifeline of sorts , that holds their past present and future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
many of us have questions about what we’re the spiritual practices of their ancestors, pre-christianization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While we can not fully recover , the details of the rituals, the exact intentions that were on their minds, or what connection they had to their dieties. We can agree on the fact that they lived in an interconnected world, where was no separation between the mundane and Spiritual . Their belief was that all of creation had a purpose, a connection to something bigger than themselves. This led to a respect for their surroundings and themselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
therefore, I try to honor and connect to the threads that entangle us , guide us and assist in the reweaving of the tapestry that pulls these threads together. If you feel disconnected to yourself, others and the world around you, you are welcome to contact me . Let me assist you as you find your connection in both the physical and spiritual worlds. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
