Shamanism — Returning to the Ancient Feminine Way
Shamanism is not just a practice; it is an ancient architecture of life — a sacred way of being that has supported humanity for hundreds of thousands of years. Long before we built temples, religions, or systems of government, we lived in direct relationship with the earth, the elements, the stars, the seasons, and the soul. This was the realm of the shaman: the one who listened, who walked between worlds, who held the invisible threads of life with reverence.
In its essence, shamanism is about deep connection — to self, to spirit, to the natural world, and to the invisible energies that weave through all of creation. It is the art of listening to the subtle. The science of soul. The wisdom of the body. The language of the earth.
The Forgotten Feminine Lineage
While many associate the shaman with masculine figures — the medicine man, the warrior-healer, the hunter-visionary — the earliest shamanic roles were often held by women. The feminine was the original holder. The womb of presence. The oracle. The guardian of life.
She didn’t chase spirits. She communed with them.
She didn’t seek power. She embodied it — through stillness, through intuition, through her ability to hold the invisible and let it become visible through her being.
This feminine shaman was the weaver of coherence. The one who held the frequency of the tribe. She was not always seen, but she was always felt. She did not seek recognition, but her presence nourished and shaped everything.
In ancient matrifocal societies, feminine wisdom keepers — women, elders, seers — served as bridges to the sacred. They led through resonance, not dominance. Through trust in life’s natural intelligence, not control. And it is this lineage that is now reawakening on Earth.
Why Shamanism Matters Now
In a world that is speeding up, burning out, and forgetting its soul, the shamanic path offers a return — not backward, but inward. It reminds us that healing does not come from fixing ourselves, but from remembering who we are beneath the noise.
We are not separate from nature. We are not cut off from the sacred. We are not broken machines to be repaired — we are living temples, dreaming bodies, sovereign spirits capable of profound healing, knowing, and becoming.
The feminine shamanic presence teaches us how to hold ourselves and others through change, death, birth, transformation. How to rest in being, how to allow instead of force, how to feel instead of numb. She reminds us that it is safe to be still, to be soft, to be empty — because in that emptiness, all of life can return to us.
The Holder of the Space
In shamanic tradition, the one who “holds the space” is not passive — she is the silent structure of transformation. She listens not just with her ears, but with her skin, her womb, her entire field. Her medicine is not always in words or rituals — sometimes it is simply her presence that allows the healing to unfold.
To walk the path of the feminine shaman is to walk as a midwife of consciousness. A guardian of the unseen. A witness to life’s wisdom. It is to become a temple — not a person who performs rituals, but one who is the ritual.
This is not about becoming someone else — it is about unlearning who we were taught to be, and returning to the deep pulse of who we are.
The Three Worlds — The Sacred Map of the Shamanic Universe
In the shamanic tradition, the world is not flat, nor is it only what we see. Reality unfolds in layers — in dimensions that interweave and coexist with our physical world. Shamans have always known this. Through altered states, trance, drumming, and deep communion with nature, they access what is often referred to as the Three Worlds: the Lower World, the Middle World, and the Upper World.
This is the sacred vertical map of the soul’s journey — and of the shaman’s work.
The Lower World — The Roots and the Bones
The Lower World is not a place of darkness in the way modern minds might think. It is the realm of deep memory, instinct, ancestral presence, animal guides, plant spirits, and the original intelligence of the Earth. It is where we meet our roots — not just our personal roots, but the primal, collective root system of humanity and all life.
Shamans enter the Lower World to retrieve lost soul parts, to receive wisdom from power animals, and to reconnect with the forces of grounding, survival, and deep earth-magic. This world is accessed through descent — often through the base of a tree, a cave, or a tunnel in vision journeys. It is a place of fierce love and fierce truth.
This is where our traumas are buried, yes — but also where our power is stored.
The Middle World — The Seen and the Unseen
The Middle World is the realm we walk every day — the world of people, places, landscapes, and life as we know it. But from the shamanic perspective, this realm is not as fixed or literal as it may seem. It is alive with spirits of place, energetic imprints, ancestral presences, shadows, and helpers.
It is the world where we must navigate our human experience — and where we learn to walk with clarity, presence, and responsibility. Many shamanic practitioners work here to clear energy, to heal relationships, to recover power, and to support collective balance.
This is the world where the shaman is most visibly in service — bridging the sacred into daily life.
The Upper World — The Light and the Infinite
The Upper World is the realm of spirit allies, teachers, star beings, elevated ancestors, and higher guidance. It is where we commune with cosmic wisdom, soul vision, future timelines, and the deep remembering of why we are here.
This world is often accessed through ascent — through the top of the tree, through the sun, or by flying. It is not “above” in a literal sense, but vibrationally — a realm of light, clarity, and expanded perception.
The shaman visits the Upper World to bring back vision, direction, soul purpose, and the frequencies of remembrance that illuminate the path ahead.
The Axis Mundi — The Sacred Tree Within
These three worlds are not separate “places” — they are interwoven dimensions that live within us, and all around us. The shaman moves between them like a weaver — tending to the soul, the body, the earth, and the stars.
At the center of this cosmology is the Axis Mundi — the World Tree — the central pillar that connects all realms. It is the spine of the cosmos. In Norse traditions, it is Yggdrasil. In many Indigenous cultures, it is the Tree of Life. In the body, it is your spine. In your life, it is your grounded presence and your open channel.
Through ceremony, through journeying, through presence and trust, we learn to move between these worlds — to restore balance, to receive guidance, and to become bridges ourselves.
This is the shamanic path:
To walk with our roots in the Earth, our hearts in the present, and our vision in the stars.
To know how to descend, how to stand, and how to rise.
Ceremony — The Sacred Architecture of Becoming
In the shamanic path, nothing is more central, more alive, and more transformative than Ceremony. Ceremony is not a performance. It is not a ritual for show. It is a living structure — a sacred container — where the invisible becomes seen, where the soul speaks, and where truth rises unfiltered to the surface.
In ceremony, we step out of the constructed time of the world and into sacred time — the time of essence, memory, spirit. Here, the veils thin. Here, we meet the parts of ourselves that were hidden, fragmented, or exiled. And we invite them home.
Ceremony has always been how shamans speak with the unseen. How communities cleanse, release, and realign. And how individuals remember who they are — beneath the conditioning, the roles, the pain, and the noise.
For Ann-Peggy, Ceremony has been the path. Not the idea of ceremony, but the living, breathing, trembling reality of it. It’s been in the sacred circles, under the stars, in deep initiatory journeys, and in silent, personal moments with spirit, that she have come home to her inner strength. Ceremony is where Ann-Peggy remembered how to be held by something greater — and how to stand fully inside her own power.
Collective and Personal Ceremonies
There are ceremonies we do alone — with the Earth, with Spirit, with our ancestors, with our pain.
And there are ceremonies we do together — where our remembering becomes amplified through the presence of others. Where healing ripples through the collective. Where women and men sit together not to fix each other, but to witness the sacred in one another.
Both are necessary. Both are powerful. Both lead us inward — toward truth.
The Way of Ann-Peggy — A Life Embodied in Ceremony
The journey of Ann-Peggy is a living example of how Ceremony becomes not something we do, but something we become. Her path was not always gentle — it led through illness, grief, and ego-death — but it was through ceremony that she found her architecture. It was through presence, prayer, and sacred containers that her true voice emerged. Not just as a woman healing, but as a woman remembering.
She did not rush her becoming. She honored each threshold. Each cycle. Each death and rebirth. And in doing so, she came to embody something far greater than personality or story — she became the vessel. The holder. The divine design itself, breathing through a human form.
This is not mythology. This is memory.
She Who Remembers — The Living Ceremony
The video “She Who Remembers” is a ceremony in itself. A living transmission of this path. It is a doorway into what it means to truly reclaim your essence. It is not about becoming someone else — it is about taking off everything that was never yours and remembering the voice that has always been singing beneath.
This is what Ceremony offers us: A sacred space to shed, to see, to stand, to sing, to return.
Not as who the world told us to be — but as who we came here to be.
This Space on Divine Design
Here, in this sacred corner of Divine Design, I offer you not just information — but remembrance.
This is a space where the modern merges with the ancient — where your being is enough, and your remembering is sacred.
Whether you are new to this path or have walked it across lifetimes, you are welcome here. This is not about following my way, or anyone else’s. This is about hearing the drumbeat of your own soul, again.
Welcome home.
A Living Transmission: Becoming the New Human
Below, you’ll find a video — not as explanation, but as embodiment.
Becoming the New Human – An Awakening Story is a visual journey born from lived experience — a soul-initiation told through image, word, and energy. It is raw. It is real. It carries the frequency of remembrance.
This video is offered as a sacred mirror — not to show you who I am, but to reflect the places within you that are stirring, breaking open, awakening. It is for the one in the in-between. The one shedding old skins. The one remembering how to feel, how to listen, how to be reborn.
Let it speak not just to your mind, but to your bones.
Let it be felt. Let it be received.
May it meet you exactly where you are — and call you gently toward who you are becoming.
