What is Astroshamanism?

At exactly thirty years of linear age astroshamanism is about to celebrate a rite of passage of its own. After three decades of intense healing work, filled with underground and open enterprises, astroshamanism is paving the way for bringing its unique and enchanting gifts to the planet. This PAN unofficially and timidly heralds a series of radical shifts in astroshamanism. As a matter of fact these changes merely concern the way in which so far this work has been presented in consensus reality, i.e. its structure, workshops, literature, people, and themes. There is indeed no significant modification as regards how astroshamanism has functioned at an inner, deeper or non-HAC level. Hence all forthcoming developments involve the emergence in HAC of elements which have so far mainly been kept under a strategic veil of conformity. This PAN perhaps imperceptibly sketches the silhouette of such elements, which will more vividly transpire in forthcoming issues, especially as from 2007. Some of these points focus on the non-HAC cartography of the stellar environment, voyaging through multidimensional gateways into the time-space firmament, travelling immense distances in an instant, exploring parallel universes, shifting into non-linear time, reawakening our original nature as star people, transmuting the dormant separated reality of this planet, as most human beings perceive it. Although the above implications may appear rather sensational, they have always been conveyed by the term astroshamanism itself, as well as by all major ancient and uncontaminated shamanic traditions. Indeed, the oldest ceremonies that we know are all related to the stars and the access to multidimensional gateways. Multidimensional gateways are special entrances, through which beings come to, or leave, this planet out of their own will and choice. These portals constitute the intentional access to what may be described as immortality, enlightenment, liberation, ecstasy or anything all captive terrestrial seekers have hunted for ages. They are the ultimate stopover of the human spiritual quest and the revelation points of the three HAC’s supreme pranks, i.e. death, sex and time, whose mastery and architecture is exemplified by, what I describe as, the Provisional Order (see references in the article below titled Advanced West and the Provisional Order).
In the Provisional Order, as well as in many traditions (such as the Hopi and Incas), the first 12 years of the current millennium are described as a strategic time of awesome disruption, where all previous HAC structures will be torn apart, dissected and composted for new multidimensional configurations to emerge. This implies the reactivation of the human multidimensional body, which means that some souls, purposefully trained to be part of the process, may gain a radically different perspective regarding birth, death, sex, time and the sense of life in general. The first six years of the current millennium (associated with the first six signs of the zodiac, from Aries to Virgo) support the composting of the individual body as fertiliser for the multidimensional body. The next six years (related to the last six signs, from Libra to Pisces) sustain the labour for the emergence of the multidimensional body out of the final dissolution of the individual body. Here the individual body is a mere educational device, a strategic foetus, galactic manure... This radical shift from individual to multidimensional, which the years from 2007 to 2012 are alleged to implement, entails becoming fully aware that HAC is a gateway meant either to facilitate or to block the birthing of multidimensional awareness. The process of facilitation involves acquiring experiential and operative identification with larger collective and multidimensional bodies in a gradual development ranging from groups of 3, 13, 17, communities, nations, continents, planets, solar systems, universes and multiverses. The novelty of this development, which previously occurred only within the captivity of this separated reality, is that the identification moves beyond the confinement of HAC linear time, embracing parallel realities, unseen spaces and whatever has been split so far from human consciousness up to the complete alignment with the Core Multidimensional Identity (CMI). This means that it will be a multidimensional phenomenon, potentially releasing our HAC state of detention and opening up the gates from linear into non-linear time.
There are two types of time: HAC time and non-HAC time. The first is linear separated time, ruled by causes and effects. The second is non-linear circular time, entirely based on effects and devoid of causes. In circular time it is possible to affect events happened in the past and also influence the future. In this non-HAC time the origin of something happening today can be an event happening in one year. This is a most paradoxical scenario, which only multidimensional bodies are able to master. Multimensional beings are capable of stepping out of linear time, embracing the spiralling flow, ceasing to be bound by HAC and therefore escaping from the clutch of human death and pain.
Significant developments on the astroshamanic healing front are in preparation and activation during the autumn and winter season. New training schemes, such as the Astroshamanic Practitioner Training and the Astroshamanic Gateways Series, are being introduced. The Operative Training in Astroshamanism, which is one of the most effective astroshamanic tools for experientially learning about HAC and non-HAC time, will receive a wider impulse and distribution (if you wish to know more details about this successful distant training programme please contact training@astroshamanism.org). Another decisive step involves the execution of a visioning process (AIC Visioning Project) aimed at creating an astroshamanic institute and intentional community (see details below).
The next astroshamanic workshops held in Edinburgh, Frankfurt, London, Rome and other relevant European cities will introduce some of these themes as an anticipation of the Astroshamanic Gateway Series, an innovative training programme expected to be launched in summer 2007 (see details below).
In the meantime I am operating in Italy where I have recently concluded the Latium Astroshamanic Retreat in the astounding setting of the mystery Mountains of the Dukess at Corvaro near L’Aquila (The Eagle), the capital of Abruzzo, organized by Associazione Culturale Terra di Luce. Corvaro is a small medieval village thriving with features typical of traditional multidimensional portals. Here from 15 to 21 June 2007, I will hold a workshop titles the Grand Original Quest, a special week (in English and Italian), meant as a basic prologue to the Astroshamanic Gateways Series, and as an ASEPTIC week (i.e. a course aimed at training individuals or groups in carrying out shamanic healing tasks in urban or nature places, including sacred sites). From 21 to 28 July 2007 (exact date still to be confirmed) I will hold the Emilia Advanced Retreat, (in English and Italian), which will be the first official module of the Astroshamanic Practitioner Training and the Astroshamanic Gateways Series.
As for this current autumn-fall season, from 7 to 8 October 2006, on the Full Moon in Aries, I am running an extraordinary week-end on Astroshamanic Touch in an ancient villa in Jesi, the natal place of Frederick II, near Ancona, organized by Letizia Mocheggiani (+39/34489231998 or zone25@tele2.it). Next, from 25 to 26 November 2006, a pioneering workshop in Frankfurt, titled Awakening Your Multidimensional Self: Astroshamanic Healing through Time and Space (see details in the calendar below) organized by Holistic Dialogue (emansson@hotmail.com). The same workshop will also be held in Edinburgh (5-7 January 2007) and Rome (16-17 December 2007).
Please contact me if you wish to know more about any aspect of astroshamanic work or if you feel that you can contribute with your skills and resources in any way. If you are drawn by some of the themes dealt with in PAN I invite you to take part in forthcoming astroshamanic events, courses, trainings, group or individual sessions. If you want to verify whether astroshamanism is the right thing for you and can truly serve you, please feel free to contact me and arrange a free appointment.
With abundant love and appreciation of your unique multidimensional nature, Franco



The West: As the Sun firmly establishes itself in Libra, the autumn season is grounded, paving the way to the West. The West is generally associated with transformation and death, as in the English expression “to go west” (to die). West is the place of twilight, heralding darkness, the completion of a cycle, the bridging passage from wake to sleep. At this stage the ordinary environment portrayed by the Human Arbitrary Configuration (HAC) begins to fade out until it eventually vanishes. Here I face the inexorable surfacing of an alternative reality, emerging from the debris of HAC. The West is a major cleavage between HAC and non-HAC, the hollow space, the Valley of the Void, the linking agent and the golden bridge to the Core Multidimensional Identity (CMI). The West is part of the multidimensional gateways or stargates traditionally accessible for initiates in HAC. These portals vary in number and, according to the structure of reference may be 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, 144, etc. The Grey Sphere, or Sphere of Light and Darkness, one of the three multidimensional spheres or multiverses (sets of many universes) of the cosmology depicted in the Epic of the Sacred Cone,[ii] comprises a huge and apparently infinite number of parallel universes, which can be entered into or exited out of through multidimensional gateways.
From the perspective of HAC the West appears as an area of overwhelming trepidation and supreme fright. As a result a veil of arbitrary obscurity is set up by HAC to preserve its precarious sanity. As the vaults of heaven progressively fluctuate into escalating shadiness, and the forms of nature seemingly die, a spell of darkness and decease descends in the western horizon. It is an initiatory death known as the Valley of the Void, the Way of the Spiritual Warrior, or shamanic death. Being aware of, and accepting, the strategy of initiatory death, and the rebirth that follows as a natural development, makes it easier to accelerate profound mutations without activating HAC’s fiction of suffering pain or loss. The leading challenge in the West is to learn to die well to what no longer serves and be open to receive what truly supports the Intent connected with the Function. Relevant questions here are:
What does in my life want or need to die?
What ways of being in the world do not serve my current Intent?
What no longer serves me, my loving companions and the community where I live, the planet, the universe and multiverse?
If this autumn or fall were the last season of my life, what would I do? How would I connect with all my relationships?
When I see the world solely through the perspective of my personal identity or the culture I apparently belong to, I let HAC rule as the centre of the universe. This attitude may be useful in the early years spent on this planet, in order to build boundaries and a robust strategic HAC structure. If this stage deteriorates into a deification of my HAC individuality, relationship, family, country, people, etc., as something separate, then the entire significance of the strategy is lost. This is a rather controversial zone which can cause major confusion, if I lose track of my relationship with CMI and get entangled in HAC’s splintered thought system.

The ego is insane. In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from all, in separation from the Infinite. In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself. And in its terrible autonomy it the Will of God has been destroyed. It dreams of punishment, and trembles at the figures in its dreams; its enemies, who seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by attacking them. (A Course in Miracles, Workbook, p. 467)

The West is a place of steady retraction where changes are experienced in the nature of social relationships as well as in dreams, shamanic journeys and connections with alternative worlds. The connection with the Totem Spirits and power animals of the West provides crucial energy to traverse this major time of transformation. Facing the topic of death and sex is another relevant feature as it gives major insights that open cleavages into HAC’s capriciousness. Visiting cemeteries, honouring people or relatives who have left their body, living each day as if it were the last, writing a strategic or actual testament, taking care of terminally ill people, saying good-bye to our friends and relatives are just examples of connection with death. As for the association with sex, the West calls for a multidimensional sexuality aimed at reawakening and liberating our authentic nature, investigating the mysteries of shapeshifting and stargates, serving a planetary healing function, releasing thick layers of devastating shame and shattering non-sense. The second stage of the Astroshamanic Basic Ritual is closely related to the West, and it may be useful to practice it regularly during this time of the year. In order to receive something new, I am asked to relinquish what is old and no longer needed. Release, death and sex are a fundamental part of the cycle of nature at all levels. In shamanic work it is imperative to be aware of these crucial stages which are regularly feared, misunderstood or bottled up by HAC.
On the western path I need also to be open to receive the assistance available from CMI. While this path unfolds, HAC senses that the structure of its hallucination is threatened and its reactions may become extremely severe. Certain situations in life may appear confused, fearful, earnest, precarious, painful or sad. And yet, a major transformation is occurring and marvellous blessings blossom. Trust is required. Be with your CMI and simply carry on the task of releasing Graha. Go on with your practices, being aware that the rewards of your work are at hand. Allow yourself to be nourished by a new perception and accept the support that is there for you to receive even in the bleakest circumstances.

Advanced West and the Provisional Order: The West comprises Sector 7 (Libra), Sector 8 (Scorpio) and Sector 9 (Sagittarius). These three autumnal zodiac signs play a most vital role in the overall release process. They do exemplify the three stages of the Basic Ritual of the Sacred Cone: Intent, Release and Integration. These can be more competently defined as HAC1, HAC2 and CMI. As you are probably aware HAC stands for Human Arbitrary Configuration. Many definitions and ideas could be articulated as regards the nature of HAC. To put it very concisely and straightforward HAC’s disposition and task merely involve hacking. HAC1 and HAC2 are the result of this hacking, while CMI is the cleavage, or linking agent. In the first and the second stage the two polarities are purely involved with their interactions and jammed by their projections. In the first two stages they bring them all to a climax. Whenever there is a climax HAC reaches the bona fide horny bit (HB), piercing HAC’s edges and moving beyond in order to access the energy it requires to preserve its existence. The end of the second stage of the Basic Ritual is the apex of HB. By the way, do you ever feel horny while celebrating the first two stages of the Basic Ritual of the Sacred Cone? Well, it’s not that you have to, yet if you have never been and you are not satisfied about the Ritual, there is a pragmatic explanation here: you are not entering into HB, which is indeed the fundamental requisite of the practice. Accessing and ritually implementing HB is the sine qua non for accessing the third stage. With the third stage the trickiest part sets off. This is the point when the HAC’s consciousness rerouting device is activated. HAC is very keen in accessing HB, as long as this process remains classified. Beyond HB lies CMI, from which HAC receives all the energy. Yet, since HAC is based on the occultation of CMI, it will do its best to divert the third stage, which is actually the unveiling of CMI. In the Basic Ritual the miracle of the third stage occurs once the two polarities (HAC1 & HAC2), upon whose conflicting relationship HAC is founded, have experienced all possible climaxes and reach a level of such exhaustion that either they succumb or uncover another option. When they do succumb, after an unconscious incubation time, they continue to play the preceding game for another long shift. This may continue over and over again until they swing their focus toward the other option. This option is CMI. This is definitely true love from the West perspective. It is a love that sets off once the two parties stop gazing at each other and start looking together in the other optional direction.
In the West and Libra I access what the Italian illuminate singer Franco Battiato in the CD Dieci Stratagemmi calls “la porta dello spavento supremo” (the gate of the supreme fright), where “tutto si dissolverà” (all will be dissolved), i.e. all HAC will be dissolved. This implies facing the baffling alignment with my multi-dimensional relationship status, encompassing all partners past, present and future seen in their collective perspective. This means being involved simultaneously with all the relationships that have developed on the planet, not to mention other planets and universes. Hence, it follows that in this gap zone all my HAC relationships melt away in order to unveil their matrix. If I remain attached to the HAC definition of my relationships the unbearable terror and fright that follows will cause shock and unconsciousness. On the contrary, if am available to take a conscious leap through the gate, a novel configuration will unveil itself. Then I may spontaneously enter into an intimate rapport dynamic with whomever I meet or even think of. This is the paradoxical condition of a shaman in Libra, for shamans are the dwellers of the gap, the guardians of the link between HAC and CMI, which is an out of bound territory, the Sacred Cone operational chamber and its devoted workforce, i.e. the Provisional Order (Provordo). There is a link for each Sector. In Sector 7 every character in HAC is a fragment of a wider being residing in CMI, who also comprises an infinite number of duplicates living in countless parallel alternative HACs.
How important is to keep a promise! And this is one with a wider being. This perspective defies HAC routine logic. This is the Provisional Order (Provordo). The ProvOrdo is an arbitrary configuration. As such it is similar to HAC. It is separated and unreal, just as HAC is separated and unreal. What differs is that Provordo is a purposefully generated configuration, an arbitrary intentional configuration (AIC) aimed at accessing CMI, as well as HAC. It is an alternative to HAC, coexisting in HAC itself, which means that it is not meant to replace HAC or to conflict with it in any way. On the contrary Provordo and HAC are in full mutual agreement as regards their inner mechanics. Provordo is the linking stargate agent between HAC and CMI. HAC is an emanation of CMI, which means that HAC's existence entirely depends on CMI. Yet HAC is a separated setting based on the strategic denial of other parallel configurations and paradoxically of CMI itself. Thus, it follows that the mechanics of Provordo as linking gateway agent requires a strict censorship, yet in a way that doesn't prevent the functioning of Provordo itself. This means that access to Provordo is out of bound as long as it does not interfere with HAC. The movement from HAC to CMI via Provordo, and v.v., is an inevitable dynamic, yet it remains unconscious in HAC due to its consciousness diverting mechanism (CDM). There are exceptions though. In this respect it is possible to identify three categories of Provordo, which in the Sagdhanatabe are called "badanas". These include human alien and misfit beings, together with well-integrated HAC representatives. This is indeed the staff of Provordo, with obvious conscious access to Provordo itself. These folks are well-acquainted with the nature of multidimensional gateways, parallel universes and the infinite alternative geography that surrounds and penetrates HAC.

Soul Retrieval by Carol Day
This article was written by Carol during the recent workshop Astroshamanic Healing & Soul Retrieval: Restoring Sacred Relationships.

Take these broken pieces and hold me by the hand. Take these broken pieces and let them make a world for you. Take these fragments as your own. Own them. These pieces that have been haunting me for years, jeering at me with the languid smile of separation, tormenting me in dreams, holing the threads of the sane lucid fabric of my timely masterpiece. Have them. Need them. I cannot hope to cling onto them. For it is only in knowing that they are yours as well as mine that I can be truly restored.
Teach me the notes of your lost song. Let me feel it vibrate in you. As I touch the agony of your wounded reality so lovingly sealed in the canopy of your body, let me understand it through the guise of an equal fleshed soul. Let me find this song through the wonder of my senses and let it come alive for me. For your melody resuscitates the parts of me that have forgotten how to sing.
Show me the miracle of the emotional realm. Show me how my kingdom can melt out of me. Hold my hand. Let yourself show. Let your longing to swim out of yourself go. Open the door inside you where the frightened part is housed. Hear my knock. Hear my knock. I won’t go away. I am standing here with the force of the oceans at my back. I am standing here with love and devotion for this petrified gap you have held onto so long through the aeons of quantifying-seduced time. The time has come. Only this moment matters.
In the rationale of our sequential consciousness, birthed from the creativity of the incredible whole to which we truly belong, we have agreed to come here now. In the story of the love that chose to implode in order to experience itself we are experiencing ourselves here. Through the mind-blowing intricacies of metamorphic time and space which human consciousness only scarcely dares to comprehend, we have managed to twist ourselves into the holding of a true vocation. Our souls meet in the sunny chamber of a pending-autumnal afternoon. The part which truly understands, the enlightened angel, has agreed to meet the part which has been mashed up. The part that has been mashed up can finally express its horror.
When they meet, the result is electric. It is like a river with banks bursting. It is an electrical current of water and light whose energy is motion. The part that screams, that has been locked into a story, locked behind this door, so frightened to show itself for to feel anything ever again is too painful, is amazed. Amazed at the glory of being held by a force so caring, patient and wise. A part apparently so alien. A part apparently unmeetable in the acceptance of another reality. Yet when it lets itself touch this hand of love it feels itself remember. It joins in again.
And that is all I really know. That feeling of relief when I am again included. Like the child lonely in the playground who is asked to join in a game. I feel so touched and happy. For I so much want to be a part of the whole. And I wonder how it all happens, how these stories work. How the cinemas are run in the game of perception that I have chosen to play. I wonder how it can all be. How you and I can play this game of soul-retrieval and it be a million miles away from going to the shops and buying tea-bags and milk and taking the kids to the park and all that stuff that goes on.
Then I wonder if it is really so far away. If going to the shops and buying teabags is a soul-retrieval in its way and I need those teabags like I need the angel. I wonder if it is all simply a matter of consciousness and intent and how we choose to value our lives. I think about tribes, ritualistic life, the turning of the seasons, the way the sun communicates and how the moon fades away and then comes back again. I think about the imagination of my childhood and how it all made perfect sense then. How play gave everything such meaning.
I sense the characters in my carousel of moments in this life, all life, moments in time and space, consciousness of frequencies running through us from so many throngs of existence. How they are all there and how they too crave to belong. I notice how writing itself is a soul-retrieval. I think about communication and what you communicated to me there in that room right then, with the sun shining in through the window, how we held the space in reverance and how in my body I felt truth. How something is so obviously cleared, and it has been acknowledged. It inspires me to remember. It inspires me to remember that I feel these moments of truth all the time yet forget to hold onto them because I forget that the whole of my life, the whole reason for being here, is in itself a Soul Retrieval.

AIC Visioning Project: In an astroshamanic summit held in the Healing Sanctuary at Cluny Hill College on 24 September 2006, the AIC Visioning Project was officially launched by the Findhorn ASEPTIC group. Franco explained that for 13 years he had held a vision of creating some kind of visible structure which holds and represents astroshamanic work. He explained that he now felt clearly that it is time to work on manifesting this vision. The aim is to produce something tangible, with Franco as a reference, but which is able to continue in his absence. Such a structure would serve to provide a visible form that protects deeper aspects of the work within. Many options can be considered, including a community, centre, a network, a training programme. It may even be that Astroshamanism could collaborate with another, sympathetic discipline. Hence the envisaged structure does not necessarily have Astroshamanism as the basic focus and can encompass other methods, yet sharing the same essential intent and function. The purpose of this structure is to serve both the planetary and multidimensional environment with a specialised focus. Franco explained that such a structure should have a worldwide reference and could be centred anywhere - though Franco’s personal preference is within Europe. A group of people is now needed to invest energy in creating a clear vision for the way ahead. Franco suggested that the Autumn is an ideal time for such an enterprise. The ASEPTIC group then undertook a journeying exercise to determine the process by which a vision for the proposed astroshamanic structure could be delivered. The experiences of each member are as follows:
Celia: Working through the sectors in pairs – seeking a vision from each totem spirit. Working with the phases of the moon. Also a group of 12 journeying together - each working with one sector. Also working with trees and plants to receive visions and using APIS.
Jane: An experience of a process of evolution from individuality to unity - breathing-in fragmented parts and breathing-out unity.
Rossana: Working in pairs, involving some kind of commitment to a process and including individual and collective healing work. Working on releasing stuck energy within the ASEPTIC group and increasing the heart connection between members.
Sean: Walking in the dunes as a whole group, a number of members, or by himself.
Geline: Connected to an ancient order in a parallel universe who offered assistance. Action could include tapping into this order and other shape-shifting exercises to bring information. Partner work should be included. She felt it was important to work with the energies of Capricorn and Leo. Also that people all over the world who are doing Astroshamanism should have the opportunity of being involved in creating the vision – possibly via some kind of joint event/s held at the same time.
Naomi: Saw a mountain and a lake. Performing rituals in synchronicity with the moon cycle. Using trance dance with a clear intent of creating a vision. Involvement should be wider than just the ASEPTIC. Saturn and Capricorn energies were present.
Elaine: A research project aimed at proving the value of Astroshamanism, using research findings to attract funding. A worldwide internet-based tarot card game.
Franco: Realised that each of the seven ASEPTIC members present represented one of the seven directions and that his role was one of bringing together the different visions. He saw three levels of activity: 1) Non-HAC – A practice which honours the fact that at some level the vision is already manifested. 2) HAC – a practical action/s. 2) Synthesis – a collective practice. He elaborated, with input from the Group, as follows:
Non-HAC practice: Each member decides their own practice. It is very important that this is done 12 times, connecting to all 12 sectors. Ideally this should follow the cycle of the moon, starting this Monday or Tuesday with Scorpio.
HAC practice: Anything practical eg. writing a report, or creating something.
Collective Practice: Before going to sleep at night:
· opening the seven directions
· proclaiming the intent of bringing-forth a clear vision
· reviewing the events of the day and dedicating their energy to the highest in relation to manifesting the ‘Asroshamanic structure’
· closing the directions and going to sleep.
This could take anything from a couple of minutes to an hour, depending on the time available and should also be done 12 times. Franco also encouraged working in pairs to do healing work, with the intent directed to the creation of a vision. Public events and APIS will also be directed towards the vision. Such events will occur at Full Moon, New Moon, equinoxes, solstices and mid-seasonal festivals. Franco suggested that reports from practice should be shared via email. This would best be done by a synopsis at the end of the period, with only very strong experiences reported straightaway. Final reports should clearly identify which ‘information’ came from which sector. Franco sought guidance on a template which members can use to connect with our collective intent. He received the image of the Sacred Cone.
Participation in the AIC Visioning Project is open to all astroshamanic trainees, associates and also to whoever feels intimately close to astroshamanic work or other disciplines sharing the same basic intent. Participation does not necessarily entail commitment to the outcome of the AIC Visioning Project. The degree of participation in the Project and any related development is at the participant’s discretion. If you decide to be involved in the first part of the AIC Visioning Project, please connect with Franco since all participants in this enterprise need to be formally acknowledged. This will also allow them to receive related notices and information. Participation in the AIC Visioning Project entails use of the three practices described below. Please contact franco@astroshamanism.org if you intend to join the AIC Visioning Project.

The Epic of the Sacred Cone References:

Epic State References: The sign of Libra and Sector 7 are epically related with the Grand State of Hanmar, the 7th State of the Handorian State System.[iii] At this point you may ask why this State, unlike others, is called Grand. Well, the issue is rather thorny here. By some means, Hanmar represents the other half of Handor, a kind of replacement for Rodnah. In pristine times of yore it was indeed a separate entity, which was then incorporated in the Handorian State System. Hence, the Grand State of Hanmar constitutes the informal sister of Handor. Yet Handor, being the 13th, is not a State, and this causes some complications upon which I do not intend to indulge. Information on most nations of the Grand State of Hanmar is currently classifies. Hence I provide below only some notes on 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3.

7.1 is associated with Maikal, one of the 12 nations of the Grand State of Hanmar. This is a most concise reference, which also reflects the straightforward and genuine nature of the Maikal folks, whose national motto is “Maikal is Maikal”.
7.2 is associated with Tarrin, one of the 12 nations of the Grand State of Hanmar. The nation of Tarrin is the southern-east outpost of the Hanmarian State Territory and a recent incorporation following the Handorian hostilities with the Realm of Kopolia. This nation is associated with most controversial features of the Handorian past, which required long ages to be thoroughly released and healed.
7.3 is associated with a nation located at the extreme periphery of the State of Hanmar and or the Handorian State System itself. Frankly I do not know its name, and I simply refer to it as 7.3, yet this nation does certainly have a name. The point is that in 7.3 they are absorbed in establishing communication and being as transparent as possible that their name is not so important. Yet again, they do have their name, and next time I go there I will find out what that is.
The remaining nations are Utrak (7.4), Susihar (7.5) and Vezian (7.6), with the latter being still the most controversial and classified.


The Astroshamanic Gateway Series
I intend to hold a series of one-week or even longer workshops and retreats, as well as three or two-day seminars specifically devoted to the experiential understanding and astroshamanic exploration of multidimensional gateways, parallel universes, alternative configurations, the Sacred Cone and the Provisional Order. These workshops are provisionally called the Astroshamanic Gateway Series. A first abridged introductory version of such workshops is Awakening your Multidimensional Self scheduled in Edinburgh, Frankfurt, London, Rome and other European cities. If you are interested to organise, take part in, or receive more details on an Awakening your Multidimensional Self workshop or the Astroshamanic Gateway Series training, please contact info@astroshamanism.org


Distance sessions - How do they work and how to arrange them.
Distance sessions involve a preliminary telephone consultation, followed by an astroshamanic healing practice adapted to the specific issue of the client and a successive telephone consultation aimed at examining the results of the experience. At the end we will discuss together what emerged in the session and what tools are available in order to achieve the most beneficial outcome. Each session is autonomous and is geared according to the specific issue and intent of the client. In a distant healing session I combine modalities such as astroshamanic touch, circle release work, trance divination, core multidimensional alignment, soul retrieval, connection with spirit helpers and ancestors, space-time voyage and integration of parallel universes. If the client finds it helpful, it is also possible to have two additional sessions and even to start a specific training programme. Before arranging for a distance session, it would be ideal to get a copy of my CD Drumming for the Astroshamanic Voyage or the special CD with the long distance routine of Mediterranean Shamanic Drumming on Frame Drum in Vertical S9. Fees for a distance session are the same as an ordinary session. Each 60-75 minute astroshamanic session is Euro 70 (£ 45) or Euro 168 for a cycle of three sessions, which is Euro 56 (£ 36) per session. I am also available to offer bursaries and work with financial constraints. In this respect I welcome contributions to the Astroshamanic Bursary Fund, which can allow those unable to afford the cost of a session to benefit from this healing service. If you wish to arrange an astroshamanic distance session or training, please contact me to make an appointment at info@astroshamanism.org

[iii] The Handorian State System is a mythical matrix reality aimed at integrating 3rd-dimensional perception with multidimensional states of consciousness. Its functions sustain both the undoing of separation and its preservation. These functions, although apparently contradictory when expressed through conventional languages, constitute the foundations of the ecstatic multidimensional realms existing beyond human limited perception. The Handorian State System consists of 12 States, each composed of 12 Nations, and one Central State, called Handor. The strategic counterpart of Handor is Rodnah.
