About this listen

Celtic shamanism (aka European shamanism) is an ancient spiritual tradition whose origin predates the arrival of Christianity in northern Europe. One of the central beliefs of Celtic shamanism is that the spirituality you seek is inside you. In this groundbreaking book, Rhonda McCrimmon explains the origin and practices of Celtic shamanism, and teaches listeners about the three energetic cauldrons and how to work with them.

According to over a thousand years of Celtic tradition, the root of a person's physical, spiritual and emotional health comes from the three Cauldron Power Centers found in the energetic body. The Celts believed a person must activate, nurture, and maintain all three cauldrons to live a whole, connected, meaningful life.

The Cauldron of Warming contains the innate knowledge which is our birthright. Childhood trauma can cause this cauldron to drain, leaving us feeling anxious and fearful.

The Cauldron of Motion is on its side at birth and fills when we experience deep grief or joy. A filled Cauldron of Motion helps us to love and nurture, while an empty one can foster boundary issues and allow us to be easily drained by the emotions of others.

The Cauldron of Wisdom is upside down at birth and is righted when we develop our spiritual gifts and connect with nature. As we right this cauldron, we receive the divine knowledge of the ancient Celts.

In this book you will learn how to bring your energetic cauldrons into balance, in addition to exploring the tradition of Celtic fire festivals and the sacred practice of saining. Regardless of your ancestral roots, Celtic Shaman Rhonda McCrimmon invites you to partake of this ancient wisdom and begin your journey down the shaman’s path.

I love the way Rhonda breaks things down into achieveable segments. I have had so many ah ah moments and I know I have yet more layers of the onion to uncover but I feel I have the tools to do so. This book has really lit the torch under my own spiritual practice and I’m enjoying the process of making my own unique soup. 🙏 thank you for all those late nights writing 🙌

A book I will go back to, again and again
