- This interview, on The Numinous Podcast with Carmen Spagnola covers all sorts of interesting territory. From Carmen’s post about it:
“In this conversation, I ask Sarah to explain the difference between The Priest/ess, The Shaman, and The Psychopomp as archetypes. (We also toss The Mystic in there for good measure).
We consider the implications of being white women doing work that is often called “shamanic”, and share our different perspectives and comfort levels around that. (It’s a site of struggle for each of us in our own way).
I also dig a little into a section of Sarah’s dissertation, Dreams, Ritual and the Creation of Sacred Objects: An Inquiry Into A Contemporary Western Shamanic Initiation. It’s a worthwhile read and this part of our dialogue will appeal to those who’ve long walked between the worlds but didn’t know what to do about it, or have had spontaneous initiation experiences and few places to turn for support. We talk specifically about how the Shamanic Archetype is often scapegoated by society, and how one way to heal through the Journey of the Walkaway is to choose to Return as Teacher/Interpreter.”
love this so much. im trying to figure out a path for myself.
Thank you very much for the kind words. I invite you to download my free E-Book which discusses the Principles of Sacred Deathcare:

Such an excellent conversation! Thank you both, Sarah and Carmen for this. You touched on many topics that I’ve been researching, wrestling with and living into for many years. I will be listening to this several more times, I’m sure. And checking out more of your work.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Donna!
The video gave me some great insight. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you found it useful!

Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to view my work.

Everyone should be able to tell there own stories. We all identify ourselves as this or that. There will always be people telling us we can do this but not that. To come out as you did should not be condemned or judged. History will continue to repeat itself over and over. And it seems like the witchcraft days, but now healers are condemning other healers. There has been a huge gap between healers by adding the cultural issues. The old ways need to stay alive but the old can only live so long.
Is there such a thing as a non-indigenous human-being on planet Earth?
There are two ways (at least) to think about "indigenous." Yes, all of us are descended from land-based tribal people if we go back far enough, so we all have roots in that history. But indigenous also refers to a worldview and life-way that is very different than modern Western worldviews and life-ways. In that understanding, people who were not born into and didn't grow up in an indigenous culture are not indigenous.
