Shaman of Avalon

You claim it’s not on the cards
And fate is pulling you away and out of reach of me
But you’re here in my heart
So who could stop me if I decide that you are my destiny?
What if we rewrite the stars?

Well ...we can rewrite the stars.. and what’s more, I think we should.
I'm Annie Dieu-Le-Veut and I write and broadcast on shamanism and the star mysteries and in this podcast, I explain about how our destinies may not be what we thought they were.

Now that we know that our Merkaba - our own personal rocket ship - is found in our own DNA, my latest video goes on to describe how our ancient ancestors seeded the knowledge about it into songs, stories, poems and artwork, and how this understanding casts a new light on the importance of preserving our DNA, which is sacred. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MUSIC: Alex Make Music, We Confidently Go On To Victory ART: DualVoidAnima via Giphy.

This video shows you how to access your own inner personal starship within your DNA, which will take you to the stars and beyond ... and with no risk of Unscheduled Rapid Disassembly just after launch! In Part One, I go back thousands of years to show how the Merkaba was the barque of Isis, Noah's Ark, the Ark of the Covenant, the Argo Navis of Jason and the Golden Fleece and King Arthur's boat Prydwen. The Merkaba is also the Chariot of Fire of Blake's hymn, Jerusalem. I show how these references were just metaphorical hints left to us about the existence of our own personal rocket ship in our DNA. Then In Part Two, I guide you into a meditation so you will know where to find your Merkaba, and how to use it.

Laughter is the most powerful healing therapy of all.

Here I describe why and also how to use it.

I felt compelled to put out a video on this topic, because I've realised there's not much out there to help the person on their way to becoming a  shaman to even know whether they are on the right path, or just going totally crazy!

What is shamanic soul retrieval, who needs one and why?   

How did the knowledge of this vital healing technique get forgotten about, and how is it being recovered today - in an age where its benefits are needed more than ever?  

How can you tell whether you are suffering from soul loss, and would be  helped by a soul retrieval?   

All these questions are answered in this video, as well as a description  of how the shaman retrieves the lost soul from the Other Worlds.

There’s a lot of nonsense talked about whether someone in the West can  call themselves a shaman, because ‘shaman’ is a Siberian word and we’re  not Siberians. 

The truth is, we are shamans.  We do the exact same interdimensional healing work as the Siberian shamans of old, and if we are white-skinned Caucasians, then we actually descend from those nomadic deer herders of Siberia and the Russia steppes beyond the Caucasus mountains.   

We experience the same mystical heat as all authentic shamans do.  This  "fire in the head" or halo is a very clear litmus test that differentiates the shaman from all other kinds of mind-body-spirit  healers.  And so in this video I explain more about how you can recognise a real shaman, and then go on to explain what a shaman is and how they can help  you.

We may sometimes wonder why we should be concerning ourselves with  spiritual matters when the world seems to be only just holding back from  the brink of an apocalyptic meltdown..  So in this video, I'm going to share with you my thoughts on that. I  don't claim to have all the answers ... but I am happy to share here  with you my realisations that have developed in me as a result of asking  my spirit guides: "Why am I here? And why am I here now?"  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THUMBNAIL: Magical Garden by Origin Story

MUSIC: We Confidently Go To Victory by Alex Make Music from Pixabay

In this video, I explain how the origins of the festival of Easter go  back as far as the most ancient dragon lore, which existed long before  Christianity.

Those dragon teachings in themselves make up a deep  esoteric metaphor for the knowledge of how to bring the heavens down to  the Earth.Once I’ve explained how all that works, I will go on to tell  you about how we use that knowledge, here in Avalon, to celebrate Easter  – or Oestre, as we call it, after the ancient goddess of Spring.

So what  do I mean by bringing the Heavens down to the Earth? Well, it’s quite  simple.  In modern terms, we can compare it to installing inside us a new router with a high speed internet connection to the gods.

The  shamanic knowledge of the technology for this is buried deep in the  cognitive permaculture of all of us humans on the planet.  We only can’t recognise it because it has been concreted over by the dogmas of  innumerable religions over more than a thousand years. But here in Avalon, some of us have been taking a sledgehammer to that concrete.

The motif of the Dragon and the World Tree is found in the oldest stories that were written by our ancestors in the stars, and that have  come down to us today as myths.  

The purpose of those myths was to teach us universal truths through metaphors describing alchemical processes that support the spiritual  evolution of life, based on a blueprint of astrology and sacred  geometry. 

Those myths were not composed to preserve for us the history of the  human race.  But over time, the priests and scribes of various  conquering kings and emperors have cobbled together those myths to give  us a false backstory.  

That’s why I always say that the only difference between history and  mythology is that myths are true.

In this video, I read to you from the opening chapter in the first book in my trilogy, The Glastonbury Chronicles, which is entitled The Dragon Whisperer's Son.

In this video you'll learn how we can benefit ourselves from the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon in our own bodies and in our own relationships. In recent videos, I’ve been explaining how this alchemical marriage is vital for growth and fertility, and that it is found in every aspect of Nature from the smallest atom to the most gigantic galaxy.

So you will know that alchemical working of the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon is vital for the successful continuance of the human race, and for all life on Earth. Well, don’t worry … it is never going to stop.

But what can be a problem for us – in the here and now – is when we are deliberately left in ignorance about how it works, so that we are prevented from using what Mother Nature uses to make her empire blossom and bloom, blossom and bloom in our lives.

It is literally the life-giving amrit or soma of divine love that makes the world go round, while it’s opposite – if we should choose to follow that path – poisons the ground into a sort of arid wilderness or desert in which human beings find it difficult to thrive.

These teachings on the elixir of life – or Mysteries as they have been referred to for thousands of years – have always been known about by the wise ones, the mages and sages, or the Grailkeepers if you like, whose role it is to protect the holy grail of this knowledge and seed it into people’s hearts through the arts.

The comings and goings on the world stage of different kings and princes with differing ideas on how to govern, have meant that the Grailkeepers have had to conceal the Mysteries of this elixir of life in nursery stories or songs or plays.. such as the works of Shakespeare, penned not by one brilliant but otherwise ordinary and unremarkable man from Stratford, but by a group of Rosicrucian playwrights who shrouded these Mystery Teachings in their plays for those who had the eyes to see.

The underlying message is most obvious, to me anyway, in their fairy romp, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. You may remember it … the Sun, the fairy king Oberon, has fallen out with the Moon, the fairy Queen Titania…This rupture between them was turning the Earth into a virtual wasteland. And so it takes the trickster antics of Puck, aka Mercury, to bring reunite them and for Nature to thrive again.

The bare bones of that plotline perfectly describe the seven-stepped alchemical processes that lead to the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon and the birth of the Child of Philosopher, otherwise known as the Philosopher’s Stone.

If you’d like a more detailed breakdown of the metaphors of the Grailkeepers in A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and what they mean, it’s in Chapter 4 of my book, The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar.

In this video, though, you'll receive a taster of what else you would learn from that book.

This is part of a series about how wishing upon a star really can make your dreams come true.  Of course, that’s a simplistic and poetic way of illustrating the effects of engaging with your own hero’s or heroine's alchemical journey to full enlightenment, with the help of the gods and goddesses who govern the seven planets. 

We have already discussed, in previous videos, how as human beings we are constantly shadow boxing with those planetary forces, even when we are asleep.  

So following on from the videos on the Sun and the Moon, this one is  about the planetary force of Mars and about how that shadow boxing relationship can help us to find our courage, heal our inner shadows and speed our spiritual evolution.  

You probably know that the shamans of old drew stories in the stars of the night skies, to leave us messages about the qualities and characteristics of each of these gods. These stories have come down to us as myths, which all follow the same blueprint of the mythological hero who journeys around the rim of the wheel of the constellations of the zodiac, and who gets help from the planetary governors - otherwise known as gods and goddesses - along the way. 

But these stories were not composed just to benefit those who lived in the past... because in essence, no matter how much technological  progress we make, the human condition and what the heart needs to grow never changes.    

And so today, these myths are still being recycled for our benefit in the movie theatres and on Netflix, Disney and Amazon Prime. All the best Rom-Coms, the ones that smash box office records anyway, are actually based on the part of the hero’s journey which is the great love story between Venus and Mars.  

Here, I break down those hidden meanings as they are found in The Notebook, whose hero is Noah, and who starts off his journey as a young, undeveloped Mars in relentless pursuit of a seemingly unattainable and unviable relationship, in the long term anyway, with the beautiful Ali.  

I also throw in a few tales from other much older heroes, to show you  how the more things change, the more they stay the same.I'm hoping then  that you'll be able use The Notebook as a Rosetta Stone to help you  recognise the traits of Mars and also how to interact with him at the  various stages of your journey around the rim of the wheel.

Welcome to this video which is part of a series devoted to working with the stars for bodily and mental healing, and for spiritual growth. In this one, I talk about my own experiences when it comes to gaining healing and guidance from the Sun, and I also give a few simple techniques which anyone can practise.

WELCOME TO THIS VIDEO, which is part of a series devoted to working with the stars for bodily and mental healing, and for spiritual growth. 

This one is all about working magically with the Moon ... but by magic, I'm not talking about sleight-of-hand, end-of-the-pier conjuring tricks.  It’s not about pulling rabbits out of hats. It’s about real magic – the sort that came from the mages of ancient Alexandria who, around 4,000 years  ago, practised a form of natural magic …otherwise known as alchemy.

YOU MAY REMEMBER that song from Disney’s 1940 animated classic about a naughty wooden puppet, Pinocchio.

And you may assume that wishing upon a star is just a quaint childhood fantasy. But it is in fact completely true… that when you wish upon a star, your dreams really do come true.

The song’s lyrics are a simplified way of describing a cosmological process that the alchemists of old knew all about.

They would not go ahead with any of the seven steps of the process to create the Philosopher’s Stone until the right planet was in the right place to receive their prayers.

The original meaning of the word “laboratory” is derived from the Latin term, ora et labora, or place of “prayer and work”.

That was before the so-called scientists of the woefully-misnamed Age of Enlightenment threw out the baby with the bathwater in jettisoning spirit from matter.

Knowing which star to wish on, and when, was considered by the Mystery Schools to be key to the successful completion of the alchemical journey of the spirit in a human body here on Earth, so that we can evolve into the Philosopher’s Stone… the stone that turns all it touches into gold.

So in this podcast, I read from Chapter 10, When You Wish Upon a Star from my book Stories in the Stars, and I hope it will help you to understand how wishing upon a star could magnetise your desired future towards you.

This video explains about some powerful shamanic techniques that would be effective for healing Narcissistic  Personality Disorder, otherwise known as NPD.  

It's widely believed by psychotherapists that Narcissistic Personality  Disorder cannot be cured. Well, it cannot be cured by them... which is  not quite the same thing. It needs a deeper kind of healing - one that  reaches much further down into the subsconscious mind where the problem  was originally formed, while in the pre-verbal state, than a talking  therapy ever could.   

This is where shamanic soul retrieveal comes in, and in this video you  will learn all about it.

This podcast takes the Ecstasy of the Heart meditation technique to a  whole new level by combining it with the most powerful Vedic mantra, the  Gayatri.  But first, I explain how music and poetry can bring harmony or discord  to our health and wellbeing, and so we have to choose wisely, before  taking you into this most ancient form of sound healing known to man.

Vedic mantras are at least 6,000 years old and probably older than that.  They were created by Indian shamans, called rishis, who composed the  verses of the Rig Veda, and who understood the sacred geometrical and  alchemical aspects of sound.  

I hope you enjoy it!

In Episode 1 of The Ecstasy of the Heart, I explained how this extremely powerful and blissful meditation technique can be used to manifest our reality and pull our visualised future towards us. 

Here in Episode 2, I guide you into a very deep dive into this technique. You only have to follow my voice. It's immensely healing on all levels - mind, body and spirit - and extremely efficacious for treating post-traumatic stress syndrome and depression. And finally, for those who work shamanically, it is an extraordinarily potent way of calling in the ancestors and spirit guides.

Here, I’m going to teach you an extremely powerful, life-changing meditation technique ... one that I’ve been practising for many years. By life-changing, I mean immensely healing to the point of trauma-erasing and beyond, because it’s like a supersonic rocket that whizzes you out of the past. Ultimately, it's capable of healing much more than PTSD and depression caused by stuck grief... but more than that... this inner technique turns you and your body into a magnet which you can then use to attract to yourself any outcome you desire.

Our unhappiness and dis-ease mostly stems from our separation from Eros, one of the great immortals who holds up the pillars of wisdom. In this podcast, I read an extract from my book The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar, from the chapter in which I explain the true health-giving nature of eroticism, and how to evoke Eros into our lives again. The artwork is titled Love at Last and it's by Yuri Leitch. 

In our deepest darkest nights, in the witching hour just before dawn, we sometimes wake up in a cold sweat and we wonder:

“Why am I being tested like this? What is the point of it all?”.

We can find answers through understanding the real reason why we took a human body, which is to alchemically grow our souls.

Here I'm reading an extract from my book, The Grail Mysteries, in which Merlin (Myrddin) and the Company of the Grail are in a race against time and all the evil forces arrayed against them, to bury the ninth and tenth of the Thirteen Treasures of Britain on the Winter Solstice. We join the action just after they have installed the eighth treasure, a maypole made of dragons reaching from the Underworld to the stars. 

This is a podcast I did as the Naked Shaman six years ago. In it, I talk about the importance of sound and frequency to healing, and in particular, being in tune with the song of the Earth - which has been dubbed the Schumann Resonance. 

Yuletide is truly a magical time, if you understand the ancient mysteries. So let Annie, Shaman of Avalon, guide you into a deeper wisdom about its secrets, so that you really can experience a merry Christmas!
