Hello! I'm Caitlin Matthews. I live in Oxford, England with my partner, John Matthews and assorted cats. My name is pronounced Kath'LEEN, for those who are wondering. NOT CATE'lin. I'm primarily known for being the author of many books including Singing the Soul Back Home, Mabon and the Guardians of Celtic Britain, Psychic Shield, and Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom. I write in the fields of metaphysical non-fiction, poetry, fiction, folkstory and myth, as well as writing books for children. I'm known for my research into the Celtic and ancestral traditions, and the ways in which I provoke exploration of the creative metaphysical field, and how we can apply it to our spiritual path. My latest books include The Complete King Arthur and Arthurian Magic (both with John Matthews), and Untold Tarot, The Lost Art of Reading Ancient Tarots. Books you may not have seen yet include my fictional Diary of a Soul Doctor; my writer's diary One Hundred Steps to the Grail; and The Fourth Gwenevere. With John Matthews, I've written the Encyclopedia of Celtic Wisdom, the Arthurian Tarot and Walkers Between the Worlds, as well as the StoryWorld series of cards and books for storytellers of all ages. Our latest collaboration is The Lost Book of the Grail:restoring the Courts of Joy which is coming in 2019 Although I'm the author of over seventy books, most of my work is oral rather than written. As a teacher of ancestral, shamanic and metaphysical traditions, I travel all over the world, working with communities and spiritual institutions. With John Matthews, and my dear colleague Felicity Wombwell, I co-founded The Foundation for Inspirational and Oracular Studies, which is dedicated to the mythic, oracular and sacred arts. Our FiOS shamanic training programme teaches students the ancestral wisdom and healing arts as living sacred traditions in which we still engage. You are welcome to join us for our courses which you will find listed on our website www.hallowquest.org.uk As a singer, I play Celtic & medieval harps, sruti and psaltery. My CDs include Deep Well in the Wild Wood: Songs from the Place Beyond. I was the Pictish language originator and song-writer of Song of the Exile for the 2004 Jerry Bruckheimer film King Arthur and I appear frequently on international radio and television. For the last 28 years, I've had a shamanic practice in Oxford dedicated to healing soul sickness and ancestral fragmentation. I use my voice to help open the way between the worlds, to sing the soul's essential nature, tracking it through the client's story and bringing it homeward, with the help of spirit allies who have chosen to work with me. If you want to know more about my courses, events and forthcoming books, you are cordially invited to visit www.hallowquest.org.uk. For new readers of my work, there is no 'one book' that conveys all that I teach, but the following practical books may be a helpful guide for you to begin somewhere: Walkers Between Worlds - for a grounding in where our spiritual traditions arose. Singing the Soul Back Home - for a guide on how we come into come relationship with our gifting spirits Celtic Visions - for understanding of the Celtic seership traditions Psychic Shield (called Psychic Protection Handbook in UK) - for those who need a friendly and no-nonsense guide to how we create and receive psychic disturbance, and what to do about that, as well showing how the universe and ourselves rub off each other and how we can do it more harmoniously
