The Skeptical Shaman a.k.a. Rachel White, has rejoined us to elaborate on how to navigate this increasingly wild, modern landscape of clouded reality. If you listened to her initiation story of waking up to “the woo,” (Season One, Episode 6), you might have expected her to go into depth about demons. But nowadays, it seems a more direct, and possibly even scarier threat, is our collective breach with reality in favor of our own egos, continually being stroked and maintained by online sub-culture communities, and highly curated media outlets. Rachel opens up and shares about her personal experience in working within this new paradigm, and offers insight on how eerily similar these behaviors are to abusive cult mentalities.
Rachel’s Bio: Rachel graduated from Loyola University of Chicago with Degrees in both English Literature and Criminal Psychology. She is the published author of the TOTEM Tarot Deck (available on Amazon and Etsy) and the creator of TOTEM Flower Essences (available on Etsy). Rachel is also the author of the TOTEM Readings Substack, and has been a featured contributing author in publications, including Best Holistic Health. Rachel is also the host of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, engaging fascinating iconoclasts in a dialogue designed to help the spiritually-homeless navigate the New Age landscape without falling into a con, a cult, or a multilevel marketing scheme. Rachel’s spiritual practice embodies the rebellious, independent spirit of shamanism. Rachel embraces and cultivates the power of the individual, empowering clients to reject group-think in lieu of their own, direct experience of spirit. To this end, Rachel has taken the Seek Safely pledge, committing herself and her practice to the highest standards in transparency, ethics, and quality across her available scope of services.
