Many years ago, I sat by the bedside of my dying mother, I heard a strong Spirit voice say, “In two years your life will be completely different.” There was no time to wonder what that “voice” meant. At that time I was in graduate school, working full time in a mental health center and was a wife and mother. I knew by the way the voice resonated deep within me that I would understand when the time was right. This book is a narrative, personal account, of what my “completely different” would become. Because of it’s personal nature I have been reluctant to offer it beyond selected friends. However, on the eve of my 70th birthday my Spirit teacher asked me, “What are you waiting for?” I offer this book as encouragement for the wisdom it may uncover on your own journey. This story is a snapshot of a time in my life that brought me profound change. It appears here in its original, typed manuscript form. Allie Knowlton

Spirit Passages Audio

Shamanic Journey Drumming

Spirit Passages has produced a new shamanic drumming recording featuring the powerful sound of six drums!  This recording has been digitally mastered to produce the richest acoustic depth and full tonal range necessary to alter consciousness for the purpose of making shamanic journeys and includes an opening call to the helping healing spirits.

When shamans journey to the spirit realm, they enter a trance-like state of consciousness.  While in this state, the brain generates patterns which are known as theta waves. These theta waves are characterized by a 4-cycle-per-minute rhythm observable through the use of an EEG. Research into altered states have determined that the deepest states of shamanic consciousness may be accessed by listening to rhythmic drumming of 4-beats-per-second.  Because these rhythms replicate the pulses generated by the brain during the theta state, the type of insistent, rapid drumming found on this recording can provide support for moving into the shamanic state of consciousness.  (© 2000 Spirit Passages)

Norse Oracle is a creation which was inspired by the spirits of the North and the ancient, oracular tradition known as seiðr.

During this ritual, the völva or shamanic seeress would enter the realms of the ancestors to seek prophesy.  Her shamanic journeys through the roots of the magical, World Tree, Yggdrasil were supported by the haunting sounds of a women’s chorus who would be singing a varðlokur chant like the one on this CD.

This is consciousness altering music that may be used for shamanic journeying, meditation or dreaming.  (© 2000 Spirit Passages)

Shamanism is the 60,000 year old spiritual foundation of our ancient ancestors. It understands that all of the natural world is not only alive but sentient. A shaman is one who has disciplined herself or himself to expand perception into this larger world of spirit/consciousness for purposes of insight, guidance or healing on behalf of others.

Shamanism isn't a religion. It is a healing and problem-solving method which coexists peacefully with many religious traditions. It works along side Christianity and Judaism in the Americas and with Buddhism and Hinduism in Asia. Grounded in nature, shamanism is compatible with beliefs that see human beings and the Earth as dependent upon each other for health and well being. It also honors the personal power, intuition and sacredness of each individual.
