Seven Clouds Waiting for Thunder Days
A book for young adults 13-18 years of age
Written by Jay Bird (47 pages)
A story of heritage and healing, Hidden Under the Water invites readers into the life of Jay Bird, a man navigating the worlds of ancestral tradition and personal rediscovery. Born into the Bear Clan of Batchewana First Nation, Jay’s upbringing is rich with Ojibway language and customs, nurtured by grandparents who carried the wisdom of the past.
A mysterious childhood encounter with Niishawswea Aanikwaadoon, a ceremonial pipe imbued with its own spirit, sets Jay on a path he could not have foreseen. Years later, after enduring a devastating accident and the trials of starting over, Jay is drawn back to his roots—and to the pipe, then housed in a museum, waiting for his return. This moment sparks a spiritual quest, leading him to confront his past, embrace his future, and accept his role in the ongoing story of his people. Listen to the the full story here along with other inspiring stories for young people:

The Science, Art, and Consciousness of Water
Written by Veda Austin
In an intriguing exploration of the mysterious and dynamic properties of water, Veda Austin, Waterkeeper, crystallographer, and Shamans Directory Ambassador, delves into the concept that water can store information, respond to human consciousness, and even communicate in a language of its own.
Ideas presented in the book include the power of positive intention, mindfulness in water consumption, and the hypothesis that water can retain memories of objects and substances that it has been in contact with, even after those things are no longer present.
Veda emphasizes the sacredness of water and its essential role in life and health, and she advocates for a holistic understanding of water and our environment. With over 1000 photos, this book is a beautiful interweave of science, art, spritualty, and consciousness.

Every month, the practitioners of Shamans Directory gather as colleagues, to discuss our work, how to better support our clients, and how to care for ourselves. Each month, we begin with a reading to open our hearts and minds to our collective purpose; to be the best healers and teachers that we can be, and to forward the health and wellbeing our human family and our precious planet.
This month we read from pages 134-35 of Arkan Lushwala’s gorgeous book, The Time of the Black Jaguar. First Edition ©️ 2012. We thought we would share it with you.
Doubt is the way of the head. Certainty is the way of the heart.
Thinking too much is a vice that is hard to release. This vice is rooted in the satisfaction that the ego feels from recognizing itself as being smart. To doubt is another vice rooted in our emotional center which gets satisfied by its own torments. A tormented emotional center … is not interested in being healed or in being replaced by the peace that lives in the silence of Spirit.
Those who love deeply and want to take care of what they love decide to be disciplined … Real discipline is the practice of constantly paying attention to the present moment. One who is disciplined seeks, like a skilled hunter, to capture the moment of certainty. His or her life becomes a sequence of consequences generated from acts of power born in moments of certainty. Thanks to this kind of discipline, a huge amount of energy is accumulated … This stored energy gives us the chance of becoming solid people with great Munay, great compassion and willpower centered in the heart.
Our heart is connected to the heart of Mother Earth and Her heart is connected to the Universe. In the Universe, everything is connected and all hearts are connected by threads of light … the access to this memory and the experience that we have when the state of amnesia is over is what Indigenous people call vision.
For the Second Edition ©️ 2024 Disruption Books

There are few areas in the world where shamanic traditions have been preserved in their original context and form. Nepal is one of these rare and special places. In the foothills of the Himalayas Nepalese shamans, known as dhamis or jhankris, are still consulted for healing and divination, as well as for providing comfort and maintaining harmony.
Following the devastating earthquake in Nepal in 2015, shamanic teacher Evelyn Rysdyk and 27th-generation dhami Bhola Nath Banstola decided it was time to safeguard Nepalese shamanic knowledge for future generations by recording the practices in "The Nepalese Shamanic Path" ― and they have created a beautiful and meticulous offering.
In this comprehensive, experiential guide to the ancient spiritual traditions of Nepal, Evelyn C. Rysdyk and Shamans Directory Ambassador Bhola Nath Banstola offer step-by-step instructions for authentic Himalayan shamanic practices. From the magic of mantras and malas to advanced techniques for physical and spiritual healing and ceremony; readers journey to meet the Taras, the Nagas, and primary Deities, learn useful techniques for purification and clearing unwanted energies, discover exercises for meeting the ancestors in their own lineages, and practices for negotiating the spirit world safely.
Illustrated with photos and Evelyn Rysdyk’s artwork, the book also explores the history of Nepal, its culture and myths, including the ways Nepalese shamans still serve their communities. Written specifically to share the traditional Himalayan shamanic method with the Western world, this guide not only preserves these ancient teachings but also reveals how they are equally relevant today.

After weeks of profound grief following the loss of her young daughter, Sandra Corcoran found herself inexplicably at a life-changing workshop on indigenous teachings and energy healing. From the first glimpse of the light that called her to the workshop, she found herself at the beginning of a 30-year metaphysical journey within, initially to heal her grief and eventually leading her from the darkness into the light of her own soul’s evolution.
Sharing the core teachings of her many indigenous and esoteric mentors, including lessons in synchronicity, metaphysics, the extraordinary power of the heart, multi-dimensional realms, and energy healing, she takes readers on an adventure across continents through birth, death, ceremony, and ritual to renewal and the frontiers of expanded consciousness. She shows that no matter how far outside of the familiar we are led, we are guided back to ourselves and offered another opportunity to embrace our world and, ultimately, find our place in it.
Designated a 'dream decoder' by her North American teachers, Sandra's book is filled with dreams that foretold and informed her journey, and offers inspiration for anyone who wants to better understand how our dreams can support and guide us throughout our waking lives!

North Sea Water in My Veins by Imelda Almqvist is a quest for the reconstruction of an indigenous or native spirituality of the Low Countries, covering pre-Christian material from the Netherlands, Belgium and the region just across the German border. Seeking out and documenting ancient gods and goddesses, practices and traditions, this book asks the question: is there enough material for such a reconstruction? The conclusion is a resounding yes! Please note that a Glossary of Dutch words related to native spirituality, and a Rune Summary for the Frisian Rune Row (a Northern region of the Netherlands) are included in this book.
“Imelda's book on the spiritual traditions of the Low Countries is a wonderful contribution to cultural soul recovery, finely streaming together her poly-linguistic research and depth of experiential work. I am glad that she included some of her dreams and personal encounters with the ancient ones.” ― Robert Moss

Imelda welcomes you to Shamans Directory
As children of Mother Earth and Father Sky we owe it to our children and our children’s children (meaning all children in The Human Family) to anchor a collective vision of healing (making whole again what hurts or has fragmented), joyful cooperation, and respectful cultural cross-fertilization (as opposed to competition, one-upmanship and cultural appropriation). It is of utmost importance for our global elders, (those willing), to share their wisdom teachings with younger generations. It is equally important for their life’s work and legacy to be documented and recorded for future generations. Shamans Directory offers both the vision and the infrastructure to make this happen. I am excited and honored to be part of this!

The Gifts of Ma’at by Zahra Indigo Rønlov offers a potent opportunity to learn about and to work with Ma’at, the Egyptian Goddess of Truth, Justice, Harmony, Balance, Reciprocity, Natural Law, and Cosmic Order. Zahra Indigo guides you on an extraordinary inner journey to align you with Truth so that you may move through your days with a heart as light as Ma’at’s feather.
The 42 Negative Confessions, also knows as The Declaration of Innocence, are the confessions a soul must make before the heart is weighed by the scale of Ma’at and one enters into the after life. Zahra Indigo has beautifully transformed these into 42 Positive Declarations to inspire you to live truthfully and light-heartedly. The book contains seven sections explaining the different dimensions of Truth, and takes you on a journey from the individual microcosmos to the macrocosmos at large.
A series of online classes led to the birth of The Gifts of Ma’at book. With the fifth round of classes starting this October (the first time offering the class after the release of her book), and an oracle deck in the making, you are invited to join Zahra Indigo to learn more, align with Ma’at, and create your own ‘PERT EM HRU’ or Book of Becoming Light.
Zahra Indigo brings to us a true gift, inviting us into the mysterious and sacred world of the Egyptian goddess Ma’at. She crafted this book so beautifully with pure poetry and so much feminine energy. This is such a fascinating work to bring through for our times. Zahra Indigo clearly has a strong connection with Ma’at so she could bring through the true magic of this energy so needed in the world today. ― Sandra Ingerman MA.
