The Celtic Shaman's Pack: Guided Journeys to the Otherworld

by John Mathews

Enter the magical realm of the shaman and develop your hidden shamanic skills. The Celtic Shaman's Pack offers direct access to the inner cosmos of the Celts, enabling you to make contact with the powerful archetypes to be found there. This pack constitutes your "shaman's pouch"--your very own collection of items imbued with magical or mystical significance, offering a bridge between the world of the everyday and the world of unseen reality that is a part of every shaman's training. The cards represent key aspects of the Celtic universe, providing you with a set of shamanic journey coordinates. By working with the images on a daily basis for divination and discovery, you will learn to journey on the visionary path and gain a heightened understanding of yourself as well as insight into your true-life direction.

I read it again, more slowly, letting the archetypal images imprint on my mind... the book is too short for more than short snippets and some of the lore is a little convoluted, but it opens up a vast landscape for further explorations of myth and inner truth.

Read this over the summer and re-read it again now to absorb some of the information again. Really great deck and very interesting explanations of the cards. I actually like the ambiguity and the snippets of lore across Celtic cultures. Very easy to jump back in and find what is needed while using the associated deck but also has so many spreads and details laced within that you can get pretty indepth with it. A fun read.

Beautiful deck and really great accompanying book. Though it should be noted you need to purchase another book to have full explanation of the shamanic path. However, you can work with this book and the cards alone so don't fret! Stunning card designs too.

Excellent little book on understanding the using cards to draw out one's own psychic abilities and debunking the myth that card reading is satanic worship. Very readable, concise overview of card reading. Cards are beautiful - all with Celtic design and sybols.
