As I look back over my long lifetime, I can now identify from my many and varied studies which were the higher points of illumination which have proven to be credible sources of guidance, and Shamanic Astrology has certainly been one of them. I think so many of us feel as though we are outsiders, somehow not in step with the consensus reality, and in Daniel’s work lies some reliable direction to get the answers as to who we really are, what we came to do and why we might feel that way. I do not know anywhere else that one can get this particular information and guidance. It is invaluable information, and the information is quite different from what we know as classical astrology, which for me was interesting yes, and even fun, but did not grant the depth of understanding that Shamanic Astrology does. Shamanic Astrology comes from a higher place than classical astrology and seems to be more in alignment with those of us who are current seekers.
Additionally, I have found that progressing from having personal readings to studying the material in classes has helped me to a deeper understanding of my partners and friends who I have chosen for this life, why they are who they are, why they do what they do, how they think and what they are experiencing — and ultimately this depth of understanding leads to a compassion for their foibles. This is no small gift —- for who could not wish for a deep understanding, and thus compassion for, the quirks and idiosyncrasies of one’s close friends and partners? As Daniel likes to say, there is a place for all of us on the wheel. We all belong.
Like all philosophies, games and studies which lean toward greatness, Shamanic Astrology is like an onion with many layers. It is accessible to both the rank beginner, who might want just to have a reading or who wants to take a class and understand the archetypes, and as well to the already experienced astrologer who wants to go to the depths in their work.
I am a seeker but not a professional astrologer and thus I was initially attracted to the simplicity and accessibility of the beginning material as well as to the material which addressed the collective and what we are all doing together at the end of this 26,000 year cycle. This has lead to studying other parts of the material for the past twenty years and I am aware there is still certainly more for me to learn. Others, usually those destined to be astrologers, jump in feet first and complete the study material in a couple of years. Others, as I did in the beginning, just enjoy personal readings. So, no matter where one is on this spectrum of understanding, the material will fit and serve as a beacon of direction and self understanding.
