How mythology and shamanism speak the language of the soul - Chris Lüttichau

Be Mythical

This week’s show is with Chris Lüttichau. Chris is the founder of Northern Drum Shamanic Centre, a UK-based educational organisation offering a renewed perspective on traditional shamanic and medicine teachings, and a safe grounding from which to learn them established in 1998.

Chris is the keeper of an integral body of teachings that he shares in workshops and ongoing training groups. The teachings cover a broad range of topics from healing and the art of dreaming to spirit contact and the way of the council. Chris is the author of the critically acclaimed book on shamanism ‘Calling Us Home – Find Your Path, Your Balance and Your Inner Strength’ published in 2017 and ‘Animal Spirit Guides: Discover your Power Animal and the Shamanic Path’ published 2009. He is an international teacher, and has appeared on TV on BBC 1, and in Denmark on TV2, and has given radio interviews in the USA, Canada, and the UK.

In this show, Chris and Lian explored the intersection of shamanism and working with myths and archetypes.

They discuss the power of myths to reveal truth and teach us about ourselves and the universe. They also delve into the different ways that myths are understood in Western Vs. shamanic cultures, with the Western perspective often viewing myths as symbolic archetypes and the shamanic perspective seeing them as living, magical stories.

They highlight the importance of relating to myths from the heart and intuition rather than the analytical mind, and the role of myths in guiding us to live in harmony and prepare for death.

Overall, Lian and Chris invite listeners to build a bridge into the mythical reality.
