Jane Burns
Unveil and reclaim the life you’re meant to live — one of gratitude, wonder, and meaning — and your destiny through the wisdom of the Celtic Medicine Wheel.
Find alignment with your soul’s true destiny by connecting with Celtic Gods and Goddesses, the ancestors, Bards, Druids, and Faeries to awaken your soul — and the sacred within you.
You have already begun to break the spell — by landing on this page.
There is a spell cast by modern culture that has us believing we’re separate from the natural world, and that we must have dominion over it.
It is a spell that makes us believe abundance is measured by our accumulation of material things…
… and the biggest illusion of all, that the world comprises only that which we can see — a perception that negates the invisible realm, the Otherworld, which holds so much wisdom, guidance, and magic for us.
During this journey into the Gaelic lands with shamanic teacher and practitioner Jane Burns, you’ll break this spell…
… reclaim your sovereignty and authentic self, and align with your soul’s true destiny by drawing wisdom, guidance, and healing from Celtic shamanic traditions, the Gods and Goddesses of its great myths, and from the Fae of the Otherworld.
Jane, who is Irish-Scottish, has more than 20 years of experience in psychic and medical intuition, energy medicine, and past-life regression therapy.
She teaches that the demands of modern life and the chaos of the greater world cut us off from our soul’s deep knowing and our connection to the sacred — which the ancient Celts knew is nourished by a close and reciprocal relationship with the land…
… a land they knew to be not only alive with the birth, death, and rebirth cycles of the Great Mother Goddess, but with the healing energies of the ancestors, and the Bards, Druids, and Faeries of Irish history and lore.
Sovereignty, the Celts believed, is being in right standing with the Earth, the Heavens, and your own soul.
It means having rulership over your own life, which begins with noticing how much of your life you are actually living, and how much time you make for self-expression and self-care.
Answering the call of your soul, everything else comes into alignment — and the universe offers its support.
As you explore the rich and sacred wisdom of the Celts, you’ll:
- Identify and hone the virtues and qualities that can bring you to greater sovereignty
- Discover key archetypes of Celtic shamanism — and their roles in guiding, wisdom-keeping, and healing
- Choose greater wholeness and ensoulment over greater accumulation
- Live daily with a higher expression of wonder and gratitude
- Gain more clarity about the impact of your decisions and actions
- Realize the story of your ideal life — the life you came here to live
- Meet challenge with gratitude and open arms
- Transmute the lead of adversity into the gold of wisdom and sovereignty
- Bring shape to the destiny of your soul and begin to live it
- Witness your inner struggles with compassion and unconditional love
- Explore your creative gifts with courage and joy
- Craft your legacy and undertake the living of it
Jane believes the state of our world and our own inner state are in dire need of our being in right relationship with the Earth.
Right relationship requires us to love and serve, with passion and conviction, the old Goddess Sovereignty — the Great Mother of the Land — who brings us prosperity, fertility, goodness, beauty, freedom, strength, and vitality.
Jane will share how we can begin this journey through traditional Celtic ways of seeing and being in the world, accessing rituals steeped in gratitude, generosity, courage, and wonder…
… that work as medicine to bring you back home to your true self and a life rich with a deep connection to the natural world and the sacred.
You’ll also explore the virtues and qualities of living in your sovereignty, guided by the wisdom of the Celtic Medicine Wheel, which helps us unveil and break through the core challenges of living an honorable and meaningful life.
Embody the Celtic Way of Seeing and Being for More Courage, Gratitude & Wonder
The glorious myths and stories of the Gaels, and the grace and beauty of their practices and traditions, invite us to step into the courage, gratitude, and wonder of the Celtic way of seeing and being…
… which was sustained in a world no less chaotic or foreboding than ours.
The ensouled and reverent practices of these wise and poetic people teach us how to walk with greater sovereignty and clarity in our body and soul, in our work and relationships.
Sovereignty is the universal remedy for all the struggle and imbalance we experience, Jane teaches. It nullifies the impact of karma and ancestral patterning.
The ancient Celts recognized that, though life was arduous and challenging, it was also full of gifts, possibility, and endless creative potential — as long as they were willing to stand in alignment with that generous, life-giving flow.
That required courage. The Celts knew they could not benefit from the riches and magic that life on this earth had to offer if they bowed out of their destiny.
Today, the scripts we sometimes run — I don’t have time... I’m no good at that... I don’t have what it takes... No one understands or appreciates me — separate us from our destiny and purpose.
They whittle away the sovereignty we require to live our to full potential and our soul’s true calling.
Are you ready to reclaim the life you were always intended to live?
What You’ll Discover in These 7 Modules
In this 7-part transformational intensive, Jane will guide you through the fundamental skills and competencies you’ll need to successfully reclaim the life you’re meant to live through the wisdom of the Celtic Medicine Wheel.
This course will feature step-by-step teachings and experiential practices with Jane. Each session will build harmoniously upon the previous ones, so you’ll develop a complete holistic understanding of the practices, tools, and principles you’ll need to connect with Celtic Gods and Goddesses, the ancestors, Bards, Druids, and Faeries to awaken your soul and the sacred within you.
Module 1: Explore the Celtic Medicine Wheel — A Quest for an Honorable & Meaningful Life
You’ll begin by creating and entering a sacred gathering place, or circle, which the ancient Celts called a nemeton — a clearing in a forest or a Neolithic site. The nemeton was viewed as a place of invocation, ceremony, and creation — a place where heaven and earth unite.
You’ll explore the Celtic Medicine wheel, a nemeton in its own right, and make a brief stop at each of the five points, or airts, of the wheel, witnessing how this ancient tool outlines core challenges of living an honorable and meaningful life.
And, you’ll hear and contemplate an old Celtic tale, “The Settling of the Manor of Tara,” which answers the question for the characters in the tale (as well as for us): “What is the proper order of things?”
In this module, you’ll:
- Begin to ask important questions about who you are, how you live your life, where you feel strength, and where you experience loss and depletion
- Ascertain a deep truth about yourself that has been forgotten
- Investigate which roles you would welcome playing in this life
- Evaluate the ways you are divided against yourself and how to close that breach
- Identify the “false gods” to whom you have given away your allegiance, and the core purpose of your life that requires that allegiance
- Understand how you have given away your sovereignty and what it takes to reclaim it
Module 2: Marrying the Land — Creating a Prosperous Life (in All Ways) in the Celtic Tradition
According to the Celts, prosperity of all kinds comes from the land — more specifically, from the Goddess Sovereignty.
To maintain prosperity, the Gaels served the Goddess with their devotion and reverence, and emulated her unconditional generosity by raising hospitality to a virtue, which they conscientiously honed.
This “giving to increase” principle extended beyond feeding a beggar or helping your neighbor harvest his crop. It included pursuit of and service to the deeper yearning of your soul and the role your soul longs to play.
Your greatest contribution in life is bringing to excellence and mastery whatever skill or craft you are called to pursue. You’ll probe the story of Lia Fail, the Stone of Destiny, and recognize the ways in which Lia Fail lives within you.
In this module, you’ll:
- Bring your gifts and talents out of the closet
- Go back and unearth forgotten dreams and yearnings
- Vow allegiance to the inner yearnings of your soul
- Marry the land of your destiny
Module 3: Experience Music Like the Ancient Celts — Change Your Tune & Cultivate Peace & Harmony
In ancient Celtic lands, music was believed to be a gift from the gods, a creation of the Otherworld known as the Oran Mor, or the Great Song.
Song kept the world in a state of harmony and that harmony was carefully tended by the Fae, inhabitants of the Otherworld.
The Celts observed that life was chaotic, arduous, and harsh, and that humans required a way to lift themselves out of the mire — to bring themselves closer to the gods — if they were ever to attain their sovereignty and their own divinity.
Music, and the inspiration and comfort it provided, was the force that enabled that ascen-dance.
In this module, you’ll:
- Experience the healing power of three strains of music: joy, sorrow, and peace
- Recognize powerful ways to cultivate inner peace and harmony
- Learn to change the tune of discord with gratitude and surrender
- Discover how to see and hear with the eyes and ears of a faery
Module 4: Open to the Wisdom of Who You Truly Are — And Surrender to the Unknown
Moving beyond the boundaries of what is known demands a bold willingness to forge into uncharted waters, to surrender to the unknown.
In core shamanic practice, this is called becoming the hollow bone — letting go of the familiar and what you think you know, and allowing numinous experience, divine wisdom, and expansive vision to fill you.
In the Celtic tradition, this kind of journey is called an immrama, and might even entail going to sea in a corracle, an oarless boat, and allowing the sea to take you to where she sees fit.
When you sail into boundless and unpredictable waters, you enter a realm teeming with possibility. Navigating these waters demands focus. No one can predict what mysteries these waters contain, but your journey into them is imperative if you are to explore this important question in every person’s life: Who am I?
In this module, you’ll:
- Deeply investigate the question, “Who am I?”
- Undertake the living of your life as a heroic journey
- Question the boundaries of your own limitations
- Devote your life to the greatest wisdom of all — the wisdom of who you are
- Explore the expansive sea within yourself for gifts of insight and liberation
Module 5: Lean Into the Rough Places — the Path to Wholeness, Sovereignty & Grace
The greatest battle in life — the only true battle — is the battle within. We’re deeply divided beings, severed by our loyalties to an outer temporal world and an inner timeless world.
The depth of that division correlates directly with the measure of struggle you experience in life — be it emotional and physical distress, relationship discord, work dissatisfaction, family trauma, or lack of abundance.
The greater the division, the greater the struggle.
You’ll visit the Celtic mythic figure of The Washer at the Ford, who emphasizes how the earth is a place of change — of rough places — and be called upon by your soul to lean into those reshaping forces and allow yourself to be broken, reconfigured, rebirthed, and perfected.
In this module, you’ll:
- Develop practices to release the false beliefs and selves that hold you hostage
- Learn how to nurture what grows in their place
- Recognize how to accept not just your destiny, but the effort it requires to live it
- Explore ways to eulogize what no longer serves you, and let it go
Module 6: Cultivate Your Sovereignty to Reclaim Your Strength, Your Imagination & Your Soul’s Purpose
Celtic wisdom defines sovereignty as being in right standing with the earth beneath you, the heavens above, and the soul inside you. It means knowing your place in the world and standing firmly in it.
We begin life with little or no sovereignty. Children can’t carry the responsibilities of sovereignty, and develop adaptive skills that help negotiate challenges and ensure survival. Maturation requires the reclaiming of your place and standing.
In the Celtic spirit world, there is no greater sin than stealing or manipulating away the sovereignty of another, and the story of Macha will illustrate this.
You’ll reclaim and become devoted to your own sovereignty, and realize that the accomplishments and capabilities of others pose no threat. Far from diminishing you, the strengths and talents of others inspire and light your own pathway to sovereignty.
In this module, you’ll:
- Focus your attention on cultivating your own sovereignty
- Witness — with compassion — the ways in which you give away your sovereignty
- Develop self-sustaining responses and behaviors
- Call back lost strength, imagination, and purpose
- Identify your role models and challenge yourself to emulate the virtues they demonstrate
Module 7: Discover the Greatest Contributor to Our Sovereignty — Forgiveness of Ourselves & Others
When you are sovereign, you’re at peace with the world around you and the world within you. Inherent in the state of being sovereign is a spirit of allowance — letting things be.
In Gaelic, this is being an sith, feeling the imagined peace of the Faerylands and Faery folk — the Sidhe — who live in a realm of no struggle, illness, or deprivation.
What disturbs equilibrium and peace — your sovereignty — is often what you can’t let go of, what you can’t allow. In blessed moments of clarity, you may recall that the only true battle is the battle within.
The Celts were a warlike and fierce people, but also very moral. Their stories are filled with the misfortunes that befall us when we choose arrogance, blind ambition, pride, and jealousy over forgiveness, grace, and humility.
You’ll recognize the greatest contributor to your sovereignty through the story of Finn mac Cumhail and Diarmuid— forgiveness of ourselves and others.
In this module, you’ll:
- Practice avoiding struggles that steal your tranquility
- Identify what and who needs to be forgiven
- Learn how you can forgive everyone
- Establish a daily practice of choosing peace over being right
- Become a vigilant witness to the ways in which you lose sovereignty
- Reallocate lost strength to more fruitful goals

The Loss of Sovereignty: A Celtic Ancestral Story
Video Teaching From Jane Burns
Jane details the severing of the bond between the Gaelic people and the land they and their ancestors long tended, and how the loss of the mother goddess who rules, feeds, and provides, is a loss felt on not only a physical level, but a profound emotional and spiritual depth, as well. The mass emigrations during the 19th and 20th centuries from Ireland and Scotland still impact those with Celtic ancestry today. Ancient Celtic wisdom and stories help you understand the practices that can heal yourself and the wounds of the past.
Faery Doctoring & the Mystery of the Fae
Audio Dialogue With Jane Burns and Tom Cowan
Nearly every Indigenous culture recognized and spoke of faeries in their language and stories, but the Celtic people have long shared an intense and complex relationship with these numinous beings. Shamanic practitioner and author Tom Cowan explores with Jane the ancient practice of faery doctoring and the road forward for humans and the Fae.
A Celtic Death Rite: The Lost Art of Keening
PDF Article From Jane Burns

“Celtic shamanism is a breath of fresh air…”
I have studied core shamanism for many years, and found it to be a bit patriarchal in nature. Celtic shamanism is a breath of fresh air, and learning from a more matriarchal perspective has renewed my active practices. I focus on planetary healing, using medicine wheels on my own property. I am a solo practitioner, so these online classes are so very appreciated! This course was informative, and as a seasoned practitioner I was amazed and awed by the content.
