Welcome to Shamanic Journeys

Shamanism teaches that there is a deeper reality behind this physical one and that there are times when it is therapeutic to enter the shamanic realms to seek insight and healing. Following the death of her only son, Shane, in 1999, Imelda O’Loan took a deep-dive into the spirit realm on shamanic journeys over a period of sixteen years, helped and supported by various spirit guides and allies. She has recorded each journey with full and detailed illustrations giving insights on the three shamanic realms, on spirit guides, on soul journeys in the afterlife, on expanding consciousness and a path of healing. Her journeys are being compiled in a series of three publications, beginning with Finding Shane – Journeys to the Otherworld, first published in February 2024.
