The Celtic Shaman

The Celtic Shaman: Healing the Wounds Your Ancestors CarriedRebecca McBride Some wounds did not begin with you. And some of the heaviest things you carry have been in your family’s possession for generations. You have done the work - the therapy, the journaling, the self-inquiry - yet something remains. A sourceless grief. A fear with no clear origin. A pattern that repeats no matter how hard you try to break it. The Celtic Shaman offers what modern healing alone cannot: a path back through the lineage, to the wound at the root. Drawing on the ancient shamanic traditions of the Celtic world and the emerging science of epigenetics, therapist and practitioner Rebecca McBride weaves together two powerful streams of knowledge - one thousands of years old, one cutting-edge - to illuminate why we carry what we carry, and how we can finally set it down. At the heart of this work are the Three Cauldrons: the Celtic model of the human energy body seated in belly, heart, and mind. Through reflective practices, guided visualisations, and gentle ritual drawn from pre-Christian Celtic tradition, McBride leads readers through each cauldron in turn - identifying inherited trauma, grieving what must be grieved, honouring what deserves honouring, and reclaiming what is truly theirs. No prior experience with shamanism or spirituality is required. Only willingness.This is ancestral healing for the modern soul - grounded, compassionate, and quietly transformative.The lineage is waiting. The healing begins with you.
