MY NEW BOOK
Poetic Whispers from the Cauldron of the Otherworld |
| |
I am thrilled to announce my new book, which explores the beautiful faerie lore of the Celts, the training of the seer poets of Old Ireland, and my personal essays. Flowing throughout are poetic transmissions from the Sidhe via my journeys in the mushroom realms and other trance states. The book is a kind of magical manual and its messages will lift your spirits and activate your imagination, creativity, and intuition. It is the kind of book you will want to gift a good friend.
Below, are a few reviews:
Shonagh Home remains a beacon for many of us across the globe as an embodiment of the Filí, an ancient Irish shamanistic art form of channeling the spirits through poetry. The memory, wisdom and connection to the unseen realms is alive in these pages. The medicine of the Shining Ones is received as we explore the written words within this book, and as we speak the words aloud. The invitation to find our way back to these paths of the Sidhe, the Shining Ones, to understand that they are a living current, this is the gift that Shonagh shares with us and a gift that is available to us all, if we just open our senses to listen. Here, we find our way back to the natural rhythms of the earth. ~ Cathy Coyle - Ban Draoi
Poetic Whispers is a timely gift from a rare being. Simultaneously a scholar and seer, Shonagh Home offers us a beautifully researched and written review of the literature describing the mythological lore of Britain and Ireland, alongside her rich descriptions of deep personal transformation in apprenticeship with visionary mushrooms and Gaia. Her resultant poetic transmissions from the realm of the Sidhe call into question how “mythical” these tales of old are in actuality, illustrating instead how limited our senses have become in our exponentially advancing technological age. This excellent book, in the words of the Fae teachers who whisper in Shonagh’s ears, “confers wisdom to those who come with humble hearts, retreating from the madness of crowds” to find a calling to return to service in the realm of deep time, to speak and hear the healing truths we all so crave in an age of insanity. ~ Sean Patrick Hatt, Ph.D., Transpersonal Clinical Psychologist
Shonagh's psilocybin inspired poetry transmissions are enchanting, lyrical, and transformative, and I love the meta-message of support from the unseen Faerie worlds, the promise of a return to the Garden, and the feeling you get about the potential and magic of multidimensional trance states and poetic expression. What I also love about this book is the rich historical foundation of Celtic Lore, with its banshees, bards and cauldrons, which illuminates how important a place Poetry holds for one who is on an archetypal journey--as are we all, whether we know it or not. While the psychedelic renaissance we are currently experiencing has put much of the emphasis on the measurable and clinical healing of crises like trauma and depression, it is through accessing one's poetic imagination that one connects with Nature in all its seen and unseen glory, including the Self-Nature, and that's where true healing happens. ~ Lakshmi Narayan, Cofounder of Awake.net, Creative Director for AwakeMedia.com

A COURSE
The Three Cauldrons of Poetry
AN INWARD JOURNEY TO OTHERWORLD CONNECTION
A LIVE 12-week Course Beginning April 22nd - July 8th
Cost: $555 Early Bird Registration before April 1st - $465 |
| |
The ancient Celts spoke of three cauldrons that were found within the body and warmed by three fires. These cauldrons were activated in the training of the seer poets of Old Ireland to bring forth stirring works of poetry and magical ability. In this course we will enter into relationship with the multi-dimensional aspects of Self and our connection to Otherworld Teachers and Guides. As well, we will open ourselves to the mantic arts of poetic expression through various states of being.
The course consists of 12 modules that begin by exploring these powerful inner Cauldrons and how to activate them. The practice of Trance States is explored and established for access to the Otherworld, as is allyship with specific plants and trees, serving as a portal to the teaching spirits of Nature and as well, a path of respectful stewardship of our own physical body/vessel/cauldron. We will peek into the ancient seer poet practices of Imbas Forosna, which is the unveiling of what the poet seeks to know. Teinm Laegda, which means to crack open or gnaw at the pith or the poem, and Dichetul Do Chennaib, which speaks to the whorls on the fingers and their use in invocation, spells and psychometry.
Daily journaling enhances the inner dialogue of self with Spirit through automatic writing. An activating ritual and a series of questions will be given each week to move you deeper into the welcoming arms of the Otherworld Teachers.
