One key difference between shamanic mediumship and the theology of mediumship, is that as a shamanic medium, you are your own ‘guide’ in the other worlds. You may have ancestors ‘helping’ you to gather the information required to be brought into the world of the manifest, but you are on your own! You therefore make contact with the entities and beings of the otherworlds directly and at your peril.
Your role as shamanic medium is to be the conduit between the worlds of the un-manifest and the world of the manifest. You are the tuning fork and balancer of energetic vibrations. You must recognise the energetic imbalances in the individuals you deal with in your every day, and be the provider of the remedial energetics through speech, touch, action and deed.
Everything you do is important. To get to have this responsibility there will be a guardian spirit who constantly tests you throughout your life.

"Matthew James has direct DNA connection to shamanic ancestry of Nordic, Celtic and Indigenous Native American lineages. He has been a 'blind shaman' for most of his life. A blind shaman is someone who doesn't realise their shamanic calling until later in the their life. Someone who lives their physical life experiencing a series of life changing spiritual unfoldments from an early age ignorant of the true nature of the unfoldments. Matthew James had is first spiritual unfoldment at the tender age of five, when a Odin-like spiritual entity first appeared before him. His realisation of his full shamanic awakening was revealed to him at the age of 47. Between these two ages, Matthew James has experienced numerous near death and death experiences, which are perfect signatures of a shamanic initiation. His recognition and full realisation of his shamanic inheritance was only made complete in recent months when a family member was able to confirm his ancestry with a series of DNA tests."
