I am, also, committed to creating opportunities for all who feel inspired by and committed to this initiatory process. Sliding scale fees, trades, partial trades, and scholarships are available for individuals who desire to receive a reading, but do not have the economic resources to pay the full fee. Scholarships are designed to support an equitable energy exchange through some form of community service, similar to the "pay it forward" ideal. Honoring the initiatory energies of Shamanic Astrology readings through some sort of equitable energy exchange helps to maintain a healthy balance of giving and receiving. If you feel drawn to this process and money is the issue that is holding you back please contact me for more details.

Donations to the scholarship fund or to assist the furthering of this work are gratefully received and greatly appreciated. PayPal donations can be made at the hyperlink at the bottom of this page or checks sent to Carolyn Brent at Sky Dancer Enterprises. Address below.

Shamanic Astrology Consultations with Cayelin

Note...See end of year reading special information on www.celestialtimings.com readings page.

Two options are now available for first time readings. Ninety minute first time readings are $200.00 and sixty minute first time readings are $160 for either an in-person or phone reading. Price includes a taped recording of your reading, plus the natal chart, one year transit chart, and a one year Sun/Moon Angle chart (these charts retail for $23.00 and are included in the reading price). Remember if cost is a limiting factor please read above scholarship and sliding scale information or contact me for details. Tapes are not guaranteed due to occasional technical glitches beyond my control. 99% of the time this is not a problem, but if you'd like a back up tape you can purchase a phone jack that will plug into your tape player's microphone (from Radio Shack) and record the reading from your end. Updates and relationship readings are also available. Reading prices are based on careful consideration of the time I spend preparing before actually doing the reading. First time readings take longer to prepare. So if you have already had an initial Shamanic Astrology reading and would like an update covering current transits, current relationships, and other factors that go more deeply into the chart the cost is $150 for a 60 minute update. Also available are 30 minute updates for $85, and 90 minute updates for $175. Click here for payment options

Also available are mentoring sessions for learning more about Shamanic Astrology or getting set-up with Solar Fire astrology software program for $100 per hour. Sliding scale fees are available upon request.
 
To schedule a reading:
It is beneficial to read the Introduction to Shamanic Astrology Preparation for a Personal Reading to get a clear sense of exactly what is covered in your Shamanic Astrology reading. Please contact me either through email or phone (contact info below) to schedule a reading time. I can usually schedule within three to four weeks, sometimes sooner. Please send payment for your reading prior to your scheduled appointment. Click here for payment options To access Information about PayPal see the bottom of this page. Also, be sure to send your birth information, date, time (as close as possible) and place of birth along with any questions you would like me to consider prior to the reading. It is helpful to send along a personal picture, which I can return when I send you your tape if you request it. I have also found including a brief written life history along with current concerns and questions prior to your reading helps to begin the process of understanding the archetypal patterns as they are expressing for you. This bio is not a requirement but is highly recommended. The questions and concerns are also helpful to have when I prepare the charts. One way to approach this process is to begin the writing by setting your intent for the reading and then write whatever comes to you from that place. Some people write a paragraph and others write several pages. Whatever you feel inspired to write will help to direct the focus of the reading. It is true we get what we ask for and what we are willing to receive. The more you consciously participate with the initiatory process of a Shamanic Astrology reading the more you will experience the potency and magic of these mysteries.

AutoBiography: Cayelin K Castell
My earliest memories (about age 3) include asking my mother questions she didn't know how to answer.. The most burning questions I remember were; "If God created us, then how did God get born?" and "Why is everything I say and do instantly history? Even this question is now history? What does that mean if every moment is instantly history?" My parents introduced me to the Rosicrucians and Unity Church before I went to kindergarten. At age 16 I began  practicing Transcendental Meditation.  In 1975, at age 19, I went to Fairfield, Iowa to work and attend what was then known as Maharishi International University (MIU) associated with Transcendental Meditation and the Science of Creative Intelligence. There I studied and experienced expanded states of consciousness and participated in a collective goal of creating world peace. In 1978, I moved to Arizona attending ASU (Arizona State University in Tempe) for a short time, before moving to Tucson in 1979 where I have lived ever since. In 1982 I began my most challenging and growth producing education with the birth of my oldest son. In 1985 I gave birth to boy/girl twins and in 1990 my youngest son was born.

I met Daniel Giamario in 1990 when I attended my first Shamanic Astrology workshop just two weeks before my youngest was born. The workshop was on the Lineage of the Moon and it made more sense to me than anything I had ever heard. I was hooked. Through a series of synchronicities and a passion for learning more about Shamanic Astrology I was led to co-author The Shamanic Astrology Handbook with Daniel in 1993/94.

My apprenticeship with Shamanic Astrology was driven by my desire to learn whatever I could about it. I didn't initially set out to create this as a livelihood, but events kept unfolding in ways that were continually moving me deeper into this work. By 1998, motivated by my continuing success in Shamanic Astrology along with several others, Daniel formulated the apprenticeship program. 

We are continuing to work on new projects to further expand the As Above, So Below mysteries from the perspective of Shamanic Astrology and the direct experience of these mysteries and we are now in the process of birthing the Shamanic Astrology Mystery School and the Institute of Neo-Archaic Cosmology. In addition to these projects, I began writing a monthly article on the Celestial Timings enlivening awareness of our direct connection to the sky in 1996.

Over the past several years I have integrated my work with Shamanic Astrology in various community circles including expressions as an Isis Priestess, a Madonna Minister, a Moneta Magdalene, and a Reiki Master. I accomplished this in part through grounding the As Above, So Below mysteries in ceremonial mythical expression. This work has also included studying and receiving certification in peacebearer consciousness through the Global Citizen University, recognizing the power of the individual to make a difference in creating world peace through fully remembering our inner divine presence.  

In 2002, prompted by strong Saturn and Pluto cycles I released all of these previous identities, opening to whatever was next for me. My current intent is to weave my many various experiences together in ways that serve as a model for honoring all the diverse and valid expressions we have for being human, while also deepening our relationship with nature, through a greater understanding of the natural cycles and rhythms of Earth and Sky.

In 2006, prompted by radical life changes and the ending of yet another Pluto cycle I released my old identity as Carolyn Brent and claimed the name Cayelin Castell. Legally this name change should be official in April of 2006.

Although, I do not claim to be a Shaman, I have had several life changing shamanic experiences or initiations. You can read about one of these initiations on Merilyn Massey's memorial website. This is the story of how I mid-wifed my mother's conscious death process and deepened my own conscious journey with the death mysteries.   

Cayelin is undergoing location and life changes that have her coming and going from Tucson, Arizona and Oconomowoc, Wisconsin among other places.  This family picture was taken in Sept 2001 and yes an update is way overdue but try getting everyone together in one place...
