The Sacred Circle of the Great Mystery Shamanic Society

The SCGMSS holds at it’s core the principle of Family, Clan, Tribe & Community. It is the belief that comes from The Wolven Path Tradition, that the Creator called to the First Shaman, the Son of the Land, the Wolf to call together humankind who had lost the kinship of the Earth and Spirits. In a continuation of the First Shaman’s work, the Society invites ALL of all Shamanic Traditions and Paths to become members of this Shamanic Community.
Membership supports the work of the Society in its goal to create a family, community and network of Shaman, Practitioners, shamanic Priests & Priestesses and Spirit Workers. The Society also aspires to be a force for harmony and healing in the world today, bringing honour and respect to our Earth, to each other and to all our relations that we share this planet with.
Membership dues/fees are used to promote an appreciation of the Shamanic Wisdom and Way, through conferences, workshops and pastoral outreach projects. They are also used to support others in similar healing work.

Currently the Society supports PROJECT HANDS and Northern Lights Wolf Sanctuary in Revelstoke BC and Sacred Hoop Magazine.
