This latest episode features Anders Beatty, who has created a protocol for pre-treatment ibogaine counseling and coaching that has become a fundamental protocol for key ibogaine providers. Anders shoots from the hip, which I so appreciate. He shares candidly about his own addiction experience and his resultant ibogaine treatment that dramatically changed his life and brought him to the counseling work he does today. Anders speaks to the merits and pitfalls of Alcoholics Anonymous and gets into the psychology of addiction, which is the symptom of the problem - it's ultimately about the relationship we have with ourselves based on our conditioning. Another major topic of addiction is screens, and he has a lot to say on that element of the addiction spectrum, which is a worldwide issue. In the second hour Anders shares a stirringly poignant story about his Ibogaine experience that brought tears to my eyes and will stay with me for a long time to come. He explains the importance of preparation for ritual, and the essential need for pre-treatment to prepare the individual for the Ibogaine experience. We hear about the importance of integration after the fact but it is every bit as essential to have support and preparation before such a dramatically life-changing initiation. The insights and wisdom that Anders so generously shares will both inform and inspire, whether or not you or someone you know struggles with addiction in its multiple expressions.

Seán Pádraig O’Donoghue joins me once again to discuss his new book, The Silver Branch and the Otherworld, which is a kind of user's manual for real and profound connection to the spirits and cycles of nature, the ancestors, the trees and plants and the Otherworld inhabitants. That such a book would come forward at this time when the world is falling apart at the seams is notable. One might ask how such a book would have any relevance to us today. Thus, this episode where Seán speaks to how we, as people, possess the innate ability to communicate and perceive the ever-present subtle messages from the natural world, seen and unseen. The first hour explores the body/mind system of the ancient Gaels - the Three Cauldrons - their function, and how to engage and support them. I asked Seán if an ally like psilocybin mushrooms would assist one to more fully embrace these body centers, and that initiated a fascinating weave of how to approach the mushroom, the dangers of psychiatric/medical establishment control of psychedelic experiences and much more. The second hour explores the cross-quarter festivals on the Gaelic wheel of the year, trees as elders and memory keepers, a very interesting viewpoint on A.I. technologies, and more. Seán is steeped in the language, myth and culture of his Irish heritage, and his depth of knowledge is a great gift to those of us who are eager to be touched by that beauty. He will be teaching a class on the Silver Branch and the Otherworld beginning September 11th through October 30th and you can learn more about that here: https://otherworldwell.com/products/course-the-silver-branch-and-the-otherworld Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/greenmansean

Christopher Warnock is known as "the father of the traditional astrological magic revival" and the "elder statesman" of astrological magic." In addition to his teaching and writing, he creates energetically potent talismans using precise election times based on the movements of the constellations, following the wisdom of the Picatrix, a tenth-century Arabic text on astrological magic. With John Michael Greer, Christopher translated the Latin text to English in 2010. Two of his astrological talismans now reside in the British Museum as part of their permanent collection. In addition, Christopher has been initiated in two Japanese Buddhist lineages as well as the Soto Zen lineage of Dainin Katagiri. The magicians of the ancient world were scholars and philosophers and they understood the inner workings of Nature. In this fascinating interview Christopher brings his great wealth of knowledge to the table, beginning with the prevailing modern world view of "atheistic materialism" as opposed to traditional magic and astrology, which have a spiritual basis. He touches on horary astrology, which is ancient. Horary involves answering a querent's question at the current time and place the question was asked. A chart is created and the practitioner then makes their determination. Chris has done a few thousand of these over the years and has created a course on his site for those interested. He also discusses traditional astrology and chart reading, and of course covers talismans in great detail. I plan to study under him this fall, as he is one of the foremost experts on Renaissance astrological magic and he is a superb teacher. I hope you enjoy this episode!

 Having read French Sociologist, Gustave Le Bon’s, illuminating book, The Psychology of Crowds, over the summer, I made a note to do an episode on crowd manipulation, the undermining insidiousness of propaganda, and the history of government-run schooling. Not a subject the average person wants to know about and yet each and every one of us continues to be saturated in propaganda and social programming everyday. If we put our heads in the sand on this our social issues will continue unabated. No hero is coming to save us and certainly no president from either wing of that same bird either.   Knowledge is power and those who have the curiosity and mental clarity to study how social manipulation works are able to see the con and avoid its spell. In this episode I will be sharing information that most people have little to no awareness of. Le Bon’s book explains the foundational steps of how control of the masses works, which may sound uncomfortably familiar to those who listen in. The subject of social engineering would be incomplete without discussing that odious character, Edward Bernays, and equally odious, Frederick W. Taylor, the anti-intellectual and hater of the individual and, I’m afraid, one of the architects of compulsory schooling.   The second hour focuses on the Prussian school system, which is the blueprint for compulsory schooling in this country. I share from the esteemed, John Taylor Gatto’s book, The Underground History of American Education, which is absolutely mind-blowing. In order to solve a problem properly we must address its cause. This will give you some food for thought and hopefully some inspiration as well.   VIEW FULL EPISODE VIEW ALL FREE EPISODES

Jean Marie Guilfoil has had an interesting career that began as a producer of electronic dance music in Australia and moved into Human Resources management with Australia’s leading customer service organization, giving her a glimpse into two very diverse industries and how the world is managed.

Today she resides in Tasmania with her husband where they live a simple life away from the mainstream, and her observations on our current construct are very insightful. Jean Marie has managed to spend the majority of her time offline and away from the sticky grasp of the internet. In this conversation we discuss the stealthy seduction of wifi that takes all of us through a black-mirrored portal into a synthetic reality that mesmerizes the mind and captures our precious time. Is this a form of sorcery? Skilled manipulation? An attempt to steer our consciousness? Our conversation will get you thinking.

In the second hour Jean Marie discusses the overlay of the internet on our natural, divine organic essence, inspiring ways to cultivate personal evolution and health. She is a wealth of intelligence and wisdom and she will give you much food for thought as we navigate this technological construct.

Food sovereignty and health are dear to my heart. With ever-increasing corporate/government control on our medical and food choices it is incumbent upon us to seek out the most effective ways to achieve and maintain radiant health on every level. You are what you eat. Cancer, heart disease and diabetes are not diseases of aging. They were medical rarities at the turn of the 20th century until the food changed dramatically and soils, plants and livestock became depleted and poisoned by synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.    DMSO stands for dimethyl sulfoxide, which comes from trees. It was brought to light in the early 60’s by Dr Stanley Jacob, MD, who was interviewed on 60 Minutes by Mike Wallace. At the time it was warmly welcomed by the conventional medical community and The New York Times lauded it as “The closest thing to a wonder drug produced in the 1960’s.” In the first hour I will discuss this potent and 100% safe substance from nature and its efficacy to stop heart attack and stroke, eradicate pain from arthritis, frozen shoulder, injuries and more. DMSO has over 300 applications for healing and yet no one I’ve spoken to has heard of it. You will not want to miss this critical information on self-healing that actually works and there are over 30,000 medical studies that show its efficacy.    In the second hour I discuss Boron, another powerhouse of healing, and one in which we are all woefully deficient. There is a direct correlation between arthritis, osteoporosis and prostate cancer, and Boron levels in the soils. Don’t think that you can just pick up a boron supplement and be good to go. You will likely not receive enough of a dose to eradicate arthritis, reverse osteoporosis, detoxify fluoride from the body and yes, decalcify your pineal. Here, I share information from two brilliant researchers that for some of you may reverse conditions you thought you had to live with indefinitely.  VIEW FULL EPISODE VIEW ALL FREE EPISODES

I heard from Dr Tom Garcia a number of years ago when he contacted me to introduce himself and share his appreciation for the mushroom teachers. We’ve stayed in contact and I have observed Tom’s unfolding over the years where he has become a most gracious medicne man for his community. . In hour one, Tom discusses his relationship not only with the mushroom teachers but also with the spirit of the fire, which is a potent elemental force that has shaped his approach to his calling as a medicine man and informs his ritual and healing practice. . Hour two continues the conversation where Tom discusses will, altars, claiming one’s place at the fire, and more. His depth of knowledge and wisdom is so dearly needed now and I know you will benefit from listening to this very special man. .

I love working with dreams as they reveal so much if we can decipher the symbolism and intuit their messages. Nature and the deep psyche – which is nature – speak in symbol, and a psychedelic mushroom journey is no different. Over the years I’ve helped people interpret and integrate their psychedelic journeys including the “bad trips.” You can’t predict how a journey will go but there is much that can be done to make sure you are safe and comfortable and well-tended. If and when a mushroom journey goes sideways there are many things you can do to recover and begin the process of understanding just what the hell happened. . In the first hour I offer advice on how to prepare for a journey to ensure that even if the journey goes dark we are as safe as we can possibly be. I share a couple of stories of particularly difficult experiences and how I worked with that client to interpret the event. My approach is to key into the symbolic nature of the experience and it is my hope that those interested will have an avenue to better understand their own challenging journey and/or the journeys of others.   Hour 2 begins by delving into a nightmare shared by my late teacher, Dr Brugh Joy, MD, and explores his approach to dream interpretation, which can be used to make sense of a bad or a pleasant journey. I then discuss what to do after a bad trip and I also touch on spirit possession. With psilocybin mushrooms getting so much good press these days there are more people than ever who are availing themselves. It is essential to be as prepared as possible and have all the tools we need to get through it and learn from the experience.   To book a Session: https://www.shonaghhome.org/therapy-sessions VIEW FULL EPISODE VIEW ALL FREE EPISODES

. Marla Durden is one of those people I could talk with for hours. From an early age she became aware of subtle energy and has been studying it ever since. From hands-on healing to dowsing to BioGeometry, she has accrued a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience. She teaches and leads groups and runs a psycho-spiritual mentoring practice in Seattle. She is also quite familiar with the mushroom spirits and we begin the first hour discussing her connection with those teachers, and Marla has a lot to say on that subject. The conversation weaves into the topic of BioGeometry, which is about creating an energetic field through geometry “on steroids” to quote Marla. . In her work Marla has encountered entity possession and in the second hour I had her share her experience and knowledge on that subject. We also discuss magic, manifesting and the power of the mind, high frequency nutrition, Ormus, Rene Quinton’s sea plasma, and more. Marla is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom and this 2-hour conversation with her is time very well spent! . To learn more about Marla check out her website:  https://modernrootwoman.com/ .

I have always taken good care of my body with exercise and good food. When I began exploring the mushroom realms at the age of 48, I realized immediately how important it was to have a strong healthy body, as nature’s entheogenic plants and fungi can take a lot out of the body. There is much talk about “set and setting” with regard to psychedelics but little in the way of how to prepare and support the body with herbs and other foods. Rebecca Rozelle Presnall  is a master herbalist, practitioner, and teacher. I have known her for several years and her depth of herbal knowledge and application is just incredible. In the first half of this episode Rebecca shares her journey into the role of herbalist, and lays the base of foundational herbal infusions that will support the body on many levels, including a mushroom journey. In the second hour Rebecca discusses the use of herbs in ritual settings for protection and support. She has great wisdom and experience on these matters and listening to her is time truly well spent. https://www.etsy.com/shop/nourishwholeness VIEW FULL EPISODE

Astrology has been a powerful component in my retreats because of its extraordinary ability to reveal the inner workings of the persona. It provides a deeper understanding of the self and offers a hugely helpful head’s up for how to navigate the changing tides of worldly life.

Robert Phoenix is an astrologer par excellence, who has an uncanny ability to pinpoint the deeper layers at work on the world stage through the lens of astrology. He predicted the extraordinary upheaval of 2020 in mid-2019, which gave me the mental/emotional preparation I needed to navigate that year and beyond. His individual readings are highly astute and thorough, and have been a great help to me and others who have sought him out.

In this interview Robert begins by discussing the arc of how he found his way to his profession, beautifully illustrating how destiny forms through the winding path of our lives. He delves into the role of Saturn, the stern, planetary influence that is so prevalent today, and explains how to work with that essential, disciplining force. The second hour is a deep dive into the planetary influences for 2023 up to 2030, providing notice on the coming potential events and how to intelligently ride these powerful and world-changing energies. In this way, we are prepared mentally and emotionally to rise to the enormous opportunities these times afford us.

The ancient Druids and other initiates of the mysteries were fluent in the subject of law. For myself, it was a mushroom journey that set me on the path of learning what I have discovered to be a most potent spiritual study, for Natural Law is spiritual in nature.

In the first hour of Episode 4, I will discuss some essential maxims that once learned, will confer true empowerment. ‘*Knowledge is power’* as the saying goes, and these timeless principles serve us as effectively today as they did ten thousand years ago because human nature hasn’t changed. These maxims should be taught to every schoolchild and yet hardly anyone has ever heard of them. They are an essential navigation tool for life and it behooves us to familiarize ourselves and learn how to apply them.

Hour two is a deep dive into public and private, the role of God and goddess in law, the money system, and finally, Equity, which provides a dearly-needed remedy for many as our system continues to implode. We don’t need to reinvent the wheel. The reclaiming of this knowledge will serve to restore reason, sanity and goodwill on every level.

Patrick MacManaway is a soft-spoken unassuming Scot, and a real-deal, gifted dowser and land-whisperer. In this interview he shares of his upbringing in a family of mediums and healers, and delivers a treasure-trove of wisdom on communicating with the intelligences of the landscape, divination, dowsing, the nature of time, elementals, and the extraordinary power of human love.

In the second hour Patrick shares stories on his successful negotiations with plant spirits, animals, the spirit of water, and the ghostly spirits he has assisted to return “home.” This sounds impossible to many but this is an art that was once commonplace in cultures around the world, and Patrick has had stunning results with his approach. We spend an additional half hour sharing my recent story of the poltergeist that showed up very suddenly in my Vermont cottage. Always good to have a man like Patrick on speed dial!
