What is Astroshamanism?
As the gross composting process of Scorpio reaches its climax with a glorious New Moon, the sacred manure moves into a refined stage as the Sun moves in Sagittarius. Here the arcane secrets of transmutation are all set to shine in the limelight, stirring a wider understanding of the mysteries of life, sex and death. The Sagittarian arrow glides into the murky firmament, depicting an iridescent trail of blessings. Forth it moves in its unquenchable quest for the gateway to the Sacred Cone, the celestial vulva, the climax of all ecstatic desires and pleas, innocently delivering its most precious gift: HOPE.
Blessings, Franco


The Sagittarius Multidimensional Gateway:
A Multidimensional Gateway is a setting through which multidimensional beings can pass in order to immediately access locations far away in time or space. Sagittarius is often regarded as the multidimensional gateway between HAC and non-HAC, the portal to the centre of our galaxy, the access point where beings from other dimensions, star systems and parallel universes slide or incarnate into this specific HAC Earth. In previous times this gateway was the axis Capricorn-Cancer, which still formally is. Yet, due to the precession of the equinox, this point has shifted to Sagittarius-Gemini, with the Gate of Capricorn now being located between the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpio. This is acknowledged as the Galactic Centre, where scientists are aware of a mysterious black hole. This is esoterically regarded as the portal to non-HAC, i.e. the birth canal leading to the Lower World, rather than, as it is often advertised, to Heaven. Sagittarius is considered as the stellar womb from which the current Galactic Arbitrary Configuration (GAC) was conceived and born. Hence, when the Sun transits Sagittarius there is potential for conceiving and giving birth to alternative configurations, especially to those with deep Scorpio issues. If you wish to browse around and be further confused, there is now ample literature on the topic, yet you may risk missing the Sagittarius darting energy aiming herewith at a precise target.
On the astroshamanic front Sagittarius hosts the first introductory workshop of the Astroshamanic Gateway Series. This is a succession of workshops and retreats devoted to the experiential understanding and astroshamanic exploration of multidimensional gateways, parallel universes, alternative configurations, the Sacred Cone, and the Provisional Order, also including its infamous Delegate domain. The first introductory workshop of this series is Awakening your Multidimensional Self, in Frankfurt (Germany) from 25 to 26 November 2006. The workshop will also be held in Edinburgh, London, Rome and other European cities. Although the title of the workshop is the same, each event is basically different since it is aligned with the particular nature of the hosting town and its wider environment, including the links with other HAC or non-HAC locations. If you feel drawn to this workshop I encourage you to join also if you live far away from where the event takes place, since this will further enhance the astroshamanic healing tapestry
My forthcoming destination is Frankfurt am Main, where I am flying to on 22 November 2006. Frankfurt is considered the Gateway to Europe and deeply resonates with the axis Sagittarius - Gemini. It is a climax of communication, commercial transactions, culture and international spirit. Frankfurt is the site of the European Central Bank, the German stock exchange, the Bundesbank, the country’s central bank, the national library (Deutsche Bibliothek), die Frankfurte Buchmesse (the annual international fair for the publishing industry) Rhine-Main Airport (the most important in Germany) and the Gateway Gardens. Frankfurt is the wealthiest city in the European Union and is also one of the nine Alpha world cities. A less known fact is that trance dance music first originated in Frankfurt. Apart from its obvious multidimensional connotations, I have chosen Frankfurt as the departing town of the Astroshamanic Gateway Series, because this is the place were I was drawn in 1978 following my decision to fully embark on the shamanic initiatory path.

Common Bugs of a Predatory Universe – Part Two by Franco Santoro

In part one of this article (see PAN Issue 54) we introduced the notion of a predatory universe. We also saw that this idea, far from being a novel theory, has been known since the most ancient times and civilisations. The experience that mankind is a livestock bred by predatory beings was not only the oral unrecorded domain of shamans and mystery schools, it was widely documented in most archaic texts, such as those of Sumeria, mankind’s earliest recorded culture. This civilisation, which arose in the Mesopotamian region between 5000 and 4000 B.C., left tablets documenting that humans were created by alien predatory beings to serve as slaves. These beings, called the Anunnaki (Those Who from Heaven to Earth Come), arrived on Earth about 450000 years ago to mine gold and, after ages of toil, decided to manufacture creatures capable of performing their hard labour. According to Zecharia Sitchin and other scholars, these visitors came from a 12th planet called Nibiru. The Sumerians were aware of all the eleven celestial bodies currently known, as well as Nibiru, reaching a total of 12 planets. These predatory human beings treated humans in atrocious and cruel ways, exploiting them according to their needs. They were also extremely competitive and regularly waged wars against each other. Extensive information regarding these beings is available from further ancient religious writings, such as the Indian Rig Veda. These predatory beings were not referred as divine beings, gods or angels by the Sumerian and other ancient cultures, and it was mainly through the paganism of Greece and Rome, and the monotheism of the Old Testament, that this identification spread into most of human mythologies and belief-systems. Ancient esoteric texts and contemporary channelled sources suggest that these alien visitors, often described as reptilian in nature, dismantled the original DNA of mankind and created versions of humans with genetic manipulation. The purpose was to allow them to control the planet, limit human perception, employ men as slaves and feed on their work, bodies, consciousness, fears and emotions. Information on the topic is now largely available and I do not intend to deal with it here.[ii] For a video on the Sumerian origin of humans see:

In this article I do not mean to support at all the idea of evil creatures dominating human beings, with mankind in the role of the victim. Yet I also do not intend to promote the thesis of a perfect, loving or free-will, create your own reality universe, which appears to be the major exertion of most HAC spirituality or New Age. I am referring to the notion of a predatory universe for mere strategic reasons aimed at reawakening awareness and retrieving information pertaining to an alternative paradigm. This cannot be delivered through words since it is entirely out of reach for our current Human Arbitrary Configuration’s prevalent state of consciousness. As I comprehend it, this paradigm lies far beyond the realm of duality and is meant to harmonise, or rather annihilate, the perception of both a predatory and a loving universe.
It seems that there is something basically out of place in human perception. This situation may either serve a significant and indispensable role in the web of life, though beyond our limited understanding, or be incongruous to such an extent that we may live in a forlorn hallucinatory limbo about which nobody cares or is even aware of. The basic issue here appears to be the individual or subjective nature of our current human consciousness.
Academic studies have shown that people in archaic civilisations did not seem to have a subjective consciousness or any awareness of a separated I. In The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind neurologist Julian Jaynes claims that humans were directly connected to auditory and visual messages emanating from higher authorities identified as gods. They did not have a private mind identified with an ego I and operated as the operative force of gods, with whom they were at one. This mentality, which Jaynes defines as the bicameral mind, was based on two sides: executive (god) and follower (human) or right and left brain. In this context the corpus callosum, which is the bridge between the two brain’s hemispheres, was the means that allowed the gods, abiding in one hemisphere, to give their orders to the other hemisphere. Using Homer’s Iliad as a model, Jaynes refers to those heroes continually receiving orders and advice from various deities, which he regards as an accurate description of how people really experienced the world in those times. The characters of The Iliad do not have the interior monologue typical of the current human configuration. Their decisions and acts develop in non-HAC and then are revealed in HAC by spirits, gods or visions. The same process applies to all major ancient literature texts. The neuroscientist Antonio Damasio suggests that the awareness of what we call consciousness is only three and a half centuries old, and has only become definitely prominent in the 20th century. From this perspective the current HAC is a most recent development, and what appears as a predatory universe may be the result of the limited – though certainly most advanced compared to predominant human awareness - perception of the ego and the related human configuration, whose basic feature is to be separated from the bicameral mind. Contemporary human beings are wrapped up in the identification with their subjective individuality, perceiving themselves as the apex of the scale of life, deprived of awareness and sight of any consequent link and secluded in a delusional sense of autonomy. Hence whatever we understand as threat, danger and sufferance may merely be the product of our perverted consciousness, which refuses to connect with the multidimensional realms.
Yet things may not be as simple as such. The question arising here is how come that human beings have lost their direct connection with gods and the multidimensional self, and which purpose does this loss serve. According to various mystery traditions it seems as if there are two levels of “predatory” activities at work, serving two entirely different aims: unity and separation. Consequently certain beings may be interested to preserve human current unconsciousness about their multidimensional nature, in order to promote separation, while other entities may sponsor a reawakening of consciousness, allowing mankind to expand into the awareness of unity.
Human beings living on the surface of this Earth are potentially part of a wider multidimensional configuration encompassing the entire planetary system. This wider configuration comprises the Earth in a seemingly infinite number of parallel realities and time-space continuum. This implies that the Earth we perceive as human beings is merely one among a vast number of Earths. The wider setting I refer to is an Earth Multidimensional Configuration encompassing all these Earths. There are many human activities meant to feed this configuration, the majority of which entail sacred relationships between polarities. Sacred relationships are devoid of any reference to romanticism, emotional involvement, getting married, having babies, buying a house or other HAC conditionings. When relationships are affected by such dynamics they appear to feed predatory configurations based on separation. Rapports aligned with the Earth Multidimensional Configuration become channels for planetary healing. They tap into the essence of the bona fide horny bit without being affected by the Consciousness Diverting Mechanism (CDM), which is the psychic device that diverts energy horizontally into HAC. Whenever couples reach a climax in their bona fide horny bit the feeding energy also reaches its peak and can either be directed towards the Earth Multidimensional Configuration or HAC. On this Earth a sexuality aligned with the Earth Multidimensional Configuration is alas the exclusive domain of few human beings, coming together according to a multidimensional design, which has necessarily nothing to do with the roles they play in HAC. These beings belong to a most out of bound category, which in further issues of PAN I have attempted to designate with terms such as sacred prostitutes or Delegate Provisional Order. Such folks have so far suffered unmentionable alienation and vexation, yet it seems as if a large number among them may visibly wake up and become more operative in the very near future, at least this is what I definitely yearn for.[iii]
The Earth Multidimensional Configuration communicates in a 12-multi-band frequency. This is inaccessible for ordinary human beings, who can generally afford only one frequency at a time. As a result they are bound to linear third-dimensional time and are unable to be aware of their simultaneous presence in different time lines and parallel realities. Some human beings have preserved their original capacity to communicate in a multi-band frequency and hold a bicameral mind. However, since their current HAC is in total denial of the awareness resulting from this broadband perception, they usually end up repressing or misusing their capacity in order to be accepted and survive in HAC. In these last and upcoming years a process of reawakening is strategically taking place. This might take the form of major third dimensional catastrophes, climate changes or extreme political and religious upheavals. Those who are in the process of reawakening may already perceive symptoms of the above in their individual lives. They may become increasingly aware of the existence of parallel realities, amazingly revealing in their dreams as well as in their so called everyday life. Ordinary human beings have lived in seclusion and isolation from the web of life for ages. All that they have learned and believed has served the purpose of preserving this isolation. Hence the reawakening process involves forgetting this information, letting it go and opening up to what is left, what has been covered up.
According to the Epic of the Sacred Cone, this universe is considered a playground for a huge multidimensional game in which galactic forces confront themselves. This game has various features and settings, such as the Human Arbitrary Configuration (HAC) of this current planet Earth. The human original 12-helix DNA of this configuration is limited to 2 helices due to the block caused by the Paheka Rubhe, or Binary Net of Totem Spirits, which indicates the 144 combinations of 12 Paheka or Totem Spirits’ double polarities. Undoing these combinations and re-establishing the 12-helix system is one of the strategic tasks of astroshamanic work.
What we acknowledge as our human ordinary reality is seen as one of many entertainment settings populated by duplications of our true multidimensional self. Most human beings remain at the level of this separated, chicken coop reality, fixed in time and space, based on the cult of the ego and the denial of other realities. Pain in HAC is mainly due to the fact that multidimensional experiences are steered into HAC, which is regarded as the only reality. HAC has extreme limitations in movement compared to the multidimensional fields. In HAC only movements in space are possible. In non-HAC I can move in parallel dimensions set in the same time-space frequency and also into all spheres of time, present, past and future. These times and spaces all exist simultaneously, no matter when and where I am, just like physical locations continue to exist at the same time regardless of where I am. If I am now in Findhorn, I cannot see Bologna, where I was more than one month ago, and I cannot see Frankfurt, where I will probably be in a few days. Yet both Bologna and Frankfurt continue to exist although I am not there. Their existence does not depend on my subjective experience of their presence. If I choose to do so, I can travel to those places and directly become aware of their existence. In non-HAC the same applies to time and emotions. If I have experienced a strong emotion of love two days ago in the company of someone, the fact that today I feel miserable because that someone is not with me does not mean that the emotion of love is not there anymore. On the contrary it continues to exist somewhere else, yet this somewhere else has nothing to do with the physical HAC form of the person involved, it relates with a multidimensional form, which as a conventional human I may refuse to acknowledge. As a result I associate my multidimensional timeless experiences to HAC time-limited forms.
The bugs of this predatory universe are quite obvious in terms of time and space. Everything and everyone has an inevitable date of expiry. People die, go away and transmute. When you associate the multidimensional emotional level to the HAC physical sphere you inexorably experience deep separation and sufferance, which is one of the most popular diets for predatory beings. This sufferance continues to be recycled through the confusion between HAC and non-HAC, and the stubbornness in holding HAC beings responsible for non-HAC emotions. The first giant stride in healing implies making a strenuous and unbending effort to stop this. In order to truly relate with HAC beings I need to be aware of the difference between emotional projections of multidimensional non-HAC content and the HAC reality where these projections appear to land. What counts in HAC are the agreements and contracts that I make with people, which define the actual nature of our rapports..
It is extremely difficult to find a way of liberation from this predatory universe if you continue to feel that people have claims towards your HAC form or that you have claim on their HAC forms. Then it follows that, once you die, you will feel compelled to come to HAC again so as to honour such claims. The act of healing here is to scan and recapitulate your life in search of those claims, shifting from HAC to non-HAC, which means liberating HAC forms connected with claims and working with their non-HAC equivalents. This implies moving beyond the HAC scenario, which is tantamount to getting out of the predatory cooking pot, directly facing non-HAC. This is a paradoxical shift bound to make you unsuitable for feeding predatory beings. As you disengage your direct energetic involvement from the dramas of HAC life, you abandon the predatory barbecue of human awareness and develop a repulsive consciousness. At the same time voluntary catering of human energy, through honest negotiations with predatory beings willing to be transparent about their intentions, further encourage the liberation process. This means to celebrate ceremonies purposefully aimed at feeding predatory beings and acknowledging the process as part of the web of life. In these instances dramas are consciously generated by human beings as an act of service and their multi-dimensional social feeding function. This process involves conscious agreements and participation, as opposed to cataleptic detention, rape and abuse.
Gurdijeff identifies this state of detention as emanating from the Moon.
Everything living on the Earth...people, animals, plants...is food for the moon. All manifestations of organic life on Earth are controlled by the moon. The mechanical part of our life depends upon the moon, is subject to the moon. If we develop in ourselves consciousness and will, and subject our mechanical manifestations to them, we shall escape from the power of the moon." Georges I. Gurdjieff
A legitimate dilemma here is whether this act of escaping from the power of the Moon or any predatory being is part of the game itself and the result of the hallucinatory perception therewith promoted. In this case escaping would be a bogus development supported by predatory beings merely to make the hunting and feeding more exciting, just like a cat playing with a mouse. Hence if this is so, is there truly any point in striving for liberation? Well, the adamant invitation here is to try it yourself!

Interview with Franco Santoro – Part One by MaryCatherine (Cathy) Burgess
The following is an interview given by Franco to MaryCatherine (Cathy) Burgess on 28 June 2003. The text is taken from Cathy’s Ph.D. thesis at the Edinburgh University.
Franco considers shamanism to be an ancient and widespread spiritual method or system of healing – one in which shamans, who are familiar with states of consciousness that enable communication and collaboration with spirit guides in the exploration of the spiritual dimension of reality, help themselves, their communities, and their planet achieve a direct and experiential sense of the unity and interconnectedness of all life. He defines astroshamanism as ‘a spiritual system of healing aimed at enlarging human perception through the integration of the basic principles of shamanism with experiential astrology, the ancient Mystery Religions, pagan and early Christian traditions in the context of contemporary society.’ The basic intent of astroshamanism is ‘to foster the process of release of grievances and reawakening of our original memories through a direct relationship with multi-dimensional realities.’ In this way, astrology is used as a tool for the shamanic exploration of the unseen empty spaces in life that when discovered, reveal interconnectedness, rather than perpetuate a perception of separateness. In effect, shamanism, especially astroshamanism, offers an alternative to the prevalent world belief system of separation by revealing a sacred way of receiving information about the original and continued unity of the world - one which helps people come to know their multidimensional selves in a very practical way. Specifically, the astrological context provides clear access to the hidden energy of the zodiacal signs and planets, enabling them to be felt in the body, emotions, mind and spirit.
Franco didn't hear about shamanism per se until he was an adult who was very consciously pursuing a spiritual path, seeking initiation from a guru, and asking for a vision 'at all costs'. In the winter of 1981 at a seaside resort, a voice came to him asking, 'Are you really available to get real answers?' His response was, 'Yes, if they are authentic'. At that point, significant visions from his childhood were reawakened, and he was told his life's purpose. During the next 3 years of spiritual training, he received many teachings and retrieved other memories - some quite painful. Throughout this he had access to animal guides as spiritual allies; they were particularly helpful, because these powerful teachings were very real to him, but there were not necessarily acknowledged by society. He also started reading shamanic books. Around this time, Franco received the Sacred Cone wisdom, a Sumerian and Mediterranean device use to transform all energy perceived as undesirable, bad, or disturbing into something that can be used positively in other realms, understood and employed for good, and understood as a realistic and healthy part of life. It is a wisdom of inclusion and wholeness, not exclusion and separation, and it unites the worlds of the Sacred Circle.
Raised a Christian in Italy and later drawn to study yoga and astrology, Franco came to understand how apparently unrelated experiences throughout his early life were actually part of a long initiation and learning process for him. One of those early experiences had been the ability to 'go through' a door and leave his parents without their knowing it. When that happened, he had a strong sense of deja vu - that this was not new or unusual for him. While still a small boy, he also began to notice things that the adults either didn’t appear to see, or that they had decided should only be for adults, not children. Among the ‘things’ he saw were the Bhi Jinah, spiritual beings that were to become friends and allies for him throughout his life. At about 4 or 5 years of age, he spontaneously began playing games that involved spending time in a different world - a world with 12 states, for which he drew maps to describe them. In these maps, his family's house became the world, and the various rooms in their house became towns or villages. The cosmology of this other world also developed its own mythology. There were even football teams with entire divisions. Each of the sectors in this world had a name, which Franco created as variations on family and environmental names he already knew. Though this was a creative way to integrate much of what he was learning in school, and it brought him great joy and ecstasy for many years, it was clear to Franco that this game was a fantasy. Between 16 and 18 years of age, he began to question what he was doing, especially when he realized others didn't share his enthusiasm about this game. Like many young people, this realization left him feeling inadequate when dealing with ordinary reality, and he decided to destroy the maps. Shortly thereafter, at age 18, he experienced a very powerful response to reading a book by Alan Watts, which then awoke something else within him. That led him from his inner community of otherworldly games to an external Christian community, where he spent 2 years working with energy and its release. Though rigid in some areas, including a clear indication that there was no hope for his own salvation, Franco thought that community did help others. However, it was not for him to stay there, and he soon felt the need to go to other countries to perform rituals. That need took him to Loch Ness and Edinburgh in Scotland, where the rituals he performed mostly included references from his childhood. At some point he also spent 8 years exploring what he calls 'the dark side' - namely, the 'provisional order' that keeps ordinary reality alive and separate from non-ordinary reality. All of these experiences from childhood into adulthood joined together to form a shamanic initiation for Franco. Among the challenges he continually experienced was his ability to see power and our multidimensional selves, yet accept that others often say they haven't had those experiences and don't see what he has seen.
Though he can easily access his Spirit Guide, specific animal guides, and other spiritual helpers who appear in human form, Franco tends to draw upon the spiritual energy of the Sacred Cone – the overall cosmology that connects the non-ordinary reality worlds, when he works shamanically. For him, that includes all spiritual guides, which are interconnected and part of the whole anyway. When he works with groups, he calls upon whatever images (i.e. gods, goddesses, etc.) make sense, are relevant, and help people access their spiritual support. Because of his own Christian background, he sometimes uses saints, especially the Madonna. Due to his understanding of astrology, he calls upon the planets, the sun, and the moon. Furthermore, his experience with the Epic of the Sacred Cone prompts him to call upon the Bhi Jinah, beings who populate the empty spaces and help keep whatever exists together.
Franco has experienced spiritual healing himself and has helped others in that process. For him, the most important thing in healing is to create a relationship with what the illness represents - as in the Pythagorean tradition. He strives for luminosity out of darkness and refers to the temples of Apollo and to underground caves where those seeking healing would go through a stage of darkness, then face the difficult reality that their illness had helped them deny, and finally experience the authentic light of integrating those first two steps of darkness and facing reality. Though Franco can use the shamanic method of extraction, he does not consider that as part of his tradition, because it perpetuates the illusion of separation and fragmentation. Related to that, he said he thought the concept of demons developed as a way of fitting in with a culture that sought to eliminate unpleasant disturbances. For him, conflict is the result of not seeing the empty spaces that connect us.
Though familiar with methods such as fasting, sweat lodge, and use of hallucinogenic plants, Franco primarily uses drumming, other rhythmic instruments, music, song or chant, dance, trance dance, drawing, meditation, silence, gibberish, the elements of nature (i.e. earth, air, fire, water), ceremonial clothing, ritual, ritual drama, invocations, ritual objects, incense, bodily postures, walking, and other physical movements as ways to enter and maintain a shamanic state of consciousness for himself and those with whom he works. He says these help him and others shift their awareness beyond the physical senses and functions of the ordinary mind into an ecstatic perception of being energy fields that are part of an interconnected web of life.

9.12 (Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Pisces) blends mutable fire with mutable water, integrating Sagittarius’s adventure, expansion, freedom and thirst for truth with Pisces’s imagination, fantasy, empathy, and shape-shifting. Those aligned with this combination are extremely expansive, broad-minded, tolerant, and full of insights and multi-dimensional perspectives. Sensitive, romantic and adventurous, they are most sympathetic and compassionate towards others, often to the detriment of their own interests.
9.1 (Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Aries) is a blazing blend of mutable fire and cardinal fire, integrating Sagittarius’s adventure, expansion, freedom and thirst for truth with Aries’s courage, self-assertion and straight-forwardness. Those who resonate with this combination are champions in the realm of adventurous and pioneering enterprises. Bold, self-confident, direct, versatile, combative and enthusiastic, they emerge on the stage of life and spontaneously pave the way for others. Their desire to act, expand human horizons, move beyond outworn configuration brings a profound restlessness, divine impatience and tendency to precipitate events. They are natural leaders, inspiring others through their brave and risk-taking initiatives, which lead to immediate results when they are in charge.
9.2 (Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Taurus) blends mutable fire with fixed earth, mixing Sagittarius’s enthusiasm, desire to explore and longing for truth with Taurus’s sensuality, stability and warmth. This produces most loyal, passionate and devoted beings, inspired both by high ideals and the natural beauty of earthy life. They are practical and capable in their work activities, yet unconcerned about ordinary survival issues, operating with spontaneous trust and confidence, nourished by a grounded sense of hope, which tends to pay off and produce tangible results.
9.3 (Sun in Sagittarius and Moon in Gemini) confronts mutable fire with mutable air, triggering Sagittarius’s adventurous spirit, expansion and search for truth with Gemini’s eloquence, flexibility and dexterity. Natural gamblers, extroverts and risk-taker on the luckiest side, they sell themselves at their best and easily achieve popularity and prestige. Their vast range of interests and mental perspective allows them to gain access and influence in various realms. They are motivated by a blend of self-confidence, high ideals and down-to-earth HAC good sense.

Hence, since we are still in Scorpio, herewith I express my intent to provide my full-hearted contribution to the honourable resurgence of the infamous mysteries of the Sacred Cone Sorcerers, multidimensional sex healers, shamanic harlots, vestals, Dionysian clerics, wardens of the Scorpio lusty teachings. When the current HAC took over they turned the Scorpio path into the greatest taboo, encompassing the out of bound zones of sex, death and the Sacred Cone. After decades of underground-work and strategic concealment, it is time now at the turning of the 2006-2007 cycle for the Scorpio mysteries to be overtly and operatively reawakened. If you feel that you may belong to this breed of sacred outcasts, if you have had enough of your confinement and relentlessly sense the unexpurgated urge of responding to your veritable calling, I invite you to join forces.
