There are four Universal Truths accepted and honored in all Shamanic traditions.

The fourth one says, “Effectiveness is the yardstick of ability.” Or “It is What You Do that Defines you”.

What is the purpose of the Shaman?

To heal the Spirit

A Shaman, in all shamanic cultures, is defined primarily as a healer and a spiritual counselor for his/her community and the world.

Here is a really beautiful definition of a Shaman from one of my students:

“I believe that the difference between Shamans and other healers is the deeper connection with life. Healers are givers, but Shamans take greater risks to give. Healers are dedicated to their calling, and yet Shamans ARE their calling. The tools they use are also different, healers use energy and physical tools such as herbs, similarly Shamans use these things...but also dreams, journeys, shifting; Shamans immerse themselves in the path. Shamans heal the whole inside and out. They also rely on the Creator and the gifts the Creator gave to them. The Animals, the plants, the rocks, the earth and sky”.

There are many healers online today,

even those who say they are Shamans or shamanic practitioners,

but how many of them tell you what they have accomplished,

what they have actually done,

who they have healed or how.

And don’t you think that this is important information when choosing a healer to work with or a Shaman to study with?

I do!

So, because it is what we do that defines us,

I want you to know what I do.

Here below are comments from others that I have done something for.

Let this be my resume for your consideration.

“I never really fully understood until this very moment how much the Universe truly does love me and I am deserving.

Yeah, I always tried to reach for it and could touch it but seeing so much manifest in such a short time truly has touched my heart so deeply.”

“Thank you for being such a precious part in my healing journey Shaman Maggie. I am grateful for you and all we have done together.

I am grateful I can see, grateful I now know I am deserving of only loving happy helpful vibrant energies in my life.

Worry is removed and replace with the peace of knowing WHO I AM! I just never knew! I just never knew!”

“Thank you so much for helping me connect with the spirit and follow my path.

Spirit guided me to you and it has done nothing but good for me so far!”- AG, Oregon

“Thank you so much for bringing these lessons to me,

They are in some way, connecting me to something deep within myself, a stirring passion,

need, or just maybe my power, but I feel it is more than that. Anyhow, I am deeply grateful, I am starting to open my eyes.”

“I got some tests back and I no longer have any heart problems, no meds of any kind including nitro.

I told you that I had received healing when I was there and as soon as I could process it all I would let you know. I was also taken off of insulin!”

“Dear Shaman Maggie, wanted to thank you again for your healing work,

I'm more centered, better focus, my mind feels less scattered.”

“I have learned more about myself by doing the course work and going within to discover traits that had been previously hidden from me,

than I have in years and years of counseling. I do not know what lies ahead of me, but I do know it will not be more of the past. That is growth! Thanks again.” – JA

“There is just so much excitement in me at the moment. I love being able to separate my feelings.

I can be excited, sad, angry, happy. One emotion is not all consuming anymore. I don't know if that makes sense.

There is another thing you should know I was on medication for anxiety and depression before I first met with you several months back.

I no longer take it as I am now in control of my emotions thanks to your teaching and prayers.” – Jan

“Shaman Maggie,

Thanks for the great course and all the help, healings and all that you have given me.

It exceeded my expectations and I have made more progress than I imagined possible.

It's the best course I have taken of any kind ever. Practical. Inspiring. Touching. Real. Honest. Kind. Magical.

Personally transformative. Giving great hope and delivering real progress.”

“…The next day, everything went so smooth and calm; there was a presence around all of us.

That morning my son went to school. He came back happy and ready to go again the next day! It was a miracle!

Thank you so much for your wisdom – it has changed me, my husband and my son and my family.”

“This e-mail is an expression of my deep heartfelt gratitude for your

assistance in healing me and my fiancé. He is well and coming to

stay with me on April 12.”

“I would express my gratitude to you. It means so much to me to have a shaman teacher like you.

I would have been a victim to disasters if I didn’t have shamanism and you.”

“I have so enjoyed this course. It has most probably saved my sanity, if not my life.”

“I thank you for all that you do for me Maggie. You are a very wonderful person and I am glad God sent you into my life

....you have helped me more than words can say. I hope I can be a help to someone someday the way you have been for me.”

“i am loving my

life now and as i look back on it, i have one person

to thank above all others, Shaman Maggie you have led me to

my true self, in showing me who i really am and have

becoming, and am still growing into, it seems the

world around me is changing. i am able to mold my life

now, as opposed to before Feb 2005 (when i first

started on this journey). My life is my own now and

you opened the door and pointed me in the right

direction. thank you” - joe T Orlando FL

“I have taken many courses regarding self improvement, alternate healing, etc. …and I have never in my life had a course take hold of me so completely,

turning my whole belief system on its ear. A course showing me, finally, how to live, and how to do so with honor and grace.

Impeccability and Intent. Balance. Trust and Faith. So many ways…”

“I was reflecting just this morning how transformational and extremely beneficial this experience of working with you has been and is for me.

I am boundlessly grateful (I know I tell you of my gratitude all the time, but I simply cannot help it –

I cannot help but express how moved I am by this work and by what you are sharing with me and others.

So forgive me my continual expressions of gratitude - yet I do not think I can stop myself from conveying them to you!!!)” – Marna

“Shaman Maggie - Know that none of this would have turned out like it did without your wonderful guidance.

These experiences that I am having are helping me to grow and evolve in leaps and bounds.

I love you for who you are, what you do and your commitment to this work and teachings.

I don't know how I will ever repay you for your teachings as my Mentor.

Namaste and Aho!!!” - Peter

“I’m proud of you shaman for all the work you are doing for each of us –

i never realized it involved so much , your a saint , and a true friend, and one of these days

i will be able to repay you for all you have done for me and others like me :))” – Dave

“Thank you for the love you have given me. You have been the most wonderful treasure I could ever have found.

Thank you for sticking with me, and never giving up on me, when most would have.

You have shined your light so brightly upon my life, for which I am forever grateful.”

“I would say I am a new person in this regard. I no longer have the victim attitude...

even my 2nd ex hubby noticed that and commented. 'Whatever you're doing, it's working." - Angela

“I keep saying that this has saved my life, not in the sense that I was about to topple myself,

but in the sense that it is now not a miserable life but rather one that is filled with awe, wonder and gratefulness.

I catch myself being happy most of the time now even when things are quite bad.

You can't beat that, nothing beats that!”

“Shaman Elder Maggie you have set such a wonderful example.

You are so very brave and courageous. It is amazing how you accomplish so much.

We (your students) must be quite challenging at times. You have been patient and loving. I am so glad to have found you.

I have so much more because of you and your teachings. I am so much more because of you and your teachings.”

“The amazing thing, when I am in the Medicine Wheel healing circle for my son, you have come to it on at least 3 occasions. Thank you.

I know you said I would see you, but I never imagined it would be so literal.

My life is growing and changing everyday and I notice that what bothered me before is slowly leaving me

and I am more relaxed, calm and patient with myself and others.” – Sandra

“Shaman Maggie, you have been so patient and so present, and I thank you - deeply - for everything you have done for me.” – Sandra C

“You saved my life, thank you. I think I would have gone crazy if you didn’t exist.

I owe you a debt that I don’t think I can repay to you. But maybe I can repay it by showing the world the light. thank you so much.” –Alex

“THANK YOU for providing a way for persons like myself to regain "wholeness & healing" and to be able to SHARE it with others!” Namaste, Lesa C., Alaska

"Before my soul retrieval, I felt my pain was a bottomless pit, afterwards it feels as if the pit was never there, it just simply disappeared!!

One of the main things I have noticed is that things I would have said in the past, no longer seem fitting to who I am now.

They just changed overnight. I no longer feel weighed down by heaviness, I am so much lighter,

and I am a much happier and peaceful person because of it. I am so grateful to have received this healing!

thank you Shaman Maggie" - Nic, Gloucester, England

“I again want to thank you for everything. I can't describe with words the feeling I have now.

It's like I'm a different person! I even understand why I put myself through all that I did.

u have helped me come to a place I never thought I'd be...but always searched 4 Thank you!!!!!! a million gazillion times”

“The fear and confusion have now been replaced with expectation, excitement, gratefulness, appreciation and understanding.”

“Just a short line to let you know, with a combo of hypnotherapy (I picked a weight loss script and made a recording and I have listened to it a couple of nights)

AND you cut all those cords and i have lost 8 pounds that I know of, in about a week and a half or two weeks. It worked... YAY YAY YAY!!!” - M

“It seems that when I started the study of shamanism that I learn everyday something new and being taken to new wonders.

I know that all things are connected now. I have grown more from taking your course and going under your wings to learn

then all the years I have studied under other people, you are a great teacher by not scraping the surface but digging deeper!” – Moonwater

So now you know what I do and this is what defines me.

I am a traditional indigenous Shaman.
