This course gives you clear, practical teaching to help you develop your own shamanic practice safely and confidently. Everything is explained simply and thoroughly, with plenty of real examples and grounded guidance. The aim is for you to understand exactly what you are doing, why it works, and how to make it part of your own spiritual path. You will have access to a wide range of recorded & written content, so you can study at your own pace. There is also a monthly live Zoom teaching session, where I share deeper insights into shamanic practice and guide further learning. (All sessions are recorded if the timing doesn’t suit you.) This is not theory for the sake of it. These are reliable, time-tested techniques that will strengthen your connection to spirit, increase your confidence, and help you walk your path with clarity and trust. Practical. Safe. Real. Shamanic work that fits into your life and supports your growth.

What I cover

My role is to share the core tools, with lots of real life examples. Each person's shamanic experience is unique, so by sharing lots of examples you'll begin to value your personal experiences. By talking about why certain tools are so useful I will help you integrate the tools, rather than just repeating what works for me. I want you to blend the tools in the way that best suits you. Explore the course to suit your pace, with monthly community calls to bring the personal connection. The rune lore is in separate chapters- you can work through them, or not, its totally up to you.

Maddy Elruna

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.

Simple, safe, and real. Shamanic work that makes sense and supports who you already are.

This course teaches you how to work with shamanic journeying in a way that is clear, safe, and genuinely useful. You will learn how to connect with your spirit allies, explore non-ordinary reality, and bring back insight that helps you live more fully in this one. Everything is taught in a grounded, practical way. You will always know exactly what you are doing and why. The focus is on building a safe and respectful relationship with spirit — one that supports your everyday life rather than pulling you away from it. There is no pretending to be something you are not. No need for fancy language or borrowed traditions. This is about developing your own connection, in your own way, with clarity and integrity. By the end of the course you will feel confident journeying on your own, trusting your experiences, and using shamanic practice to bring healing, guidance, and balance into your life.
