Bearheart, Thanks for an interesting thread. "I do shamanic journeywork (trancework)and it is much more validating to be given information that way first and to have it later validated by research. A Selkie shows up regularly to guide me in the Other World in connection with specific kinds of healing, I am usually directed by him to make a healing song which tells the story of the journey. Initially he was not helping with the healing, other beings were, but he is becoming much more active. Since this has led to some rather powerful healing for some of the people I have worked with, I am eager to know more. The seal first showed up in shamanic ancestor work with my father's line."
I'd like to learn more about your journeywork. chance
