SHARON-DENISE TAYLOR
Psychic/Medium Shamanic Visionary

I am a Shaman & Celtic High priestess, a natural Psychic Medium and Crystal healer, I have been a Crystal Healer from the age of 11 years when I found a crystal in the middle of a road when I was cycling on my bike, this Crystal was a Carnelian a power stone for woman, it was a gift from mother Earth.
I have seen spirit all my life from early childhood, I have been working for spirit doing readings for 18 years.

I come from a Celtic heritage ( Cornish) My Grandfather comes from  "Liskeard" in Cornwall that follows the old path full of Magic, Myth and Legend.

I combine my gifts of the spirit world to bring about healing to the individual and the world at large, I am moving forward to bring the ancient pathway of spiritualism, Shamanism & Wicca together to "blend" the Sacred Light Road of the Higher Consciousness with Sacred Living.
   With Mother Earth going through many changes, I am trying to leading the way in combining my Mediumship with the Ancient Organic flow of the Goddess and the modern world.
    As a child I suffered severe asthma attacks and nearly lost my life on many occasions. I see my asthma as a gift as the asthma attacks kept my connection to the spirit world open and alive, as a child I had many "trance journeys" to the spirit world while having these asthma attacks. As a child I saw spirit world all around me, when I was having the asthma attacks it was my "Spirit Horse" that came from the spirit world to take my on journeys to other worlds, this is "Shamanic Journeying" this had a very profound and magical affect on me.
I gained much spiritual knowledge and healing in these trips and it was my initiation into Shamanism, the spirit world and my work to come.

   I work closely with Mother Earth, the changing seasons and the Goddess of the moon. I run many workshops and talks on "Sacred Balance" and "Sacred living."
My shamanic name is "Rainbow Crow"

which was given to me by the spirits who I have great love and respect for.

The Dyslexia & The Asthma

It is only now that I come to realize what a magical childhood I have had, even though it was tough because of my asthma.
The asthma was so severe that I lost so much schooling and I could not read or write untill I was in my early twenties and even now when I write I still get words back to front!

The asthma and dyslexia has lead me to be very sensitive to the spirit world, the asthma and the dyslexia have been my teachers, it has only been in the last 6 years that I have came to understand this.
I have learnt so much about myself and the spirit world because it took time to heal and understand why I had asthma.

When we take time to understand why we get health problems we can learn much from them instead of trying to fight and get angry. Take time to see it in a different light like I have and you will be surprised just what wonderful gifts you have and been shown, we are responsible for our own lives, lets make it the best we can with what we have got and maybe you can help others in the process.
I used to do so much daydreaming in class because I could not understand words, so I used to find myself going to other worlds or I would be talking to my spirit horse! I think this was more fun than lessons!

One last point, since I have understood my asthma and dyslexia I do not get as many asthma attacks, the last time I was in hospital with my asthma was when I accepted myself and my gifts from the spirit world, this was 11 years ago, bear in mind I was in hospital most of my childhood.

The whispers of the Spirit world

The spirit world has played a big part in my life from childhood, I have felt, heard and seen spirit, I do not know a time when spirit was not in my life, I would see Orbs of light around people, I would see peoples aura, spirit people and the one thing that i have always seen is spirit animals who would come and talk to me, this would happen alot when I had my asthma attacks.
The thing was as a child I did not share this with anyone, it was my secret and I have had some amazing times with the spirit world in my childhood. I will always be grateful for the experiance I had as a child, I have been in the tunnel and seen the light, due to my athsma attacks being so bad that I nearly lost my life a number of times, but the whispers of spirit were always close.
The spirit world have seen me through some rough times in my life, and I consider myself blessed for this, now I share what the spirit world have shown and taught me with you and to the many people that come to me for readings or workshops. I have seen many Angels as a child, I would see them more like very big bright light and the angelic realm play a big part of my life today.

The Age of Change.
A Vist to the Summer Lands.

" The Summer Lands" is the place where our loved ones go to when they leave this world.
My Grandfather was dying from lung cancer.

(My Grandfather who comes to visit me from the spirit world)

In the last days of his life we would find him talking to spirit people who would be standing at the end of his bed, his eyes would light up and he would be oblivious to us sitting in the same room as him. The night he died I was out at a disco, like most young people of that age, but when I found that he had past to the spirit world while I was out I was devastated. At just 14 years I knew that a spirit needs help in the crossing over, this was just an inner knowing and I wanted to be there to help my grandfather in his transition. I loved my grandfather. He would always fight my corners for me and as a child and in high school I was always an odd ball and different to other children. From 11 years I was a rebel! and it was my grandfather who would always defend me, so I took his passing very badly. This was the first time I had ever lost anyone.
This was at the age of 14 years, and much spirit activity stared in my life, so much so that some nights my bedroom would be full of spirit people and I would put my head under the covers!

It was not untill, I was 18 years old that I had an out of body experience, until this happend I always regretted not seeing my grandfather off to the spirit world.

I found myself in another world it was so very real, the light was so beautiful that there is no words to express what I saw, only that it was so warm that it warmed your soul. I found I was in a garden which was not formal but there were red rose's every where! and the most greenest grass, then a hand come out of the light and took mine and as I looked up it was my grandfather, who had the most radiant light going around him, he looked younger and he had his black hair again! He spoke to me of his passing and how he was now out of pain and said it was time for him to move on and for me to follow my path, he said to me, "follow the light that shines bright in you", he then gave me a hug and I found myself coming back, I did not wish to leave that beautiful place of pure love and I could feel myself being pulled back to this world and my body.

From this point onwards I found myself visting the local spiritualist church, which was in Basingstoke. From this experience I knew I had to work for the spirit world and that this was the start of my mediumship training. It is only now that I understand what my grandfather spoke of, I now let my light shine, for we must remember that we are "spirit" we are made of the beautiful light that shines in the summer land, all is one.

                 Spirit Of The Deer

  I have many stories to share with you of the amazing experiences I have been lucky enough to have had with the spirit world. I feel it is important to share our experiences because we then realize that we are not going mad! that every little detail happens for a reason and that the spirit world plays a much bigger part in our lives than we realize and by letting in the Light, our lives become brighter with joy and inner peace.

This is how I got my spirit name: " Dancing Deer," as I have said, I have had a close spirit connection with spirit animals and I have been on a shamanic path from childhood.
I have been to many woodlands and I used to visit a very ancient woodland in Hampshire,where I spent many hours blending and working with the nature spirits, it was on one of these many walks that I had a magical meeting with my spirit deer, I came face to face with a female deer, she came out onto the path that I was walking and stood less than 10ft away, looking straight at me into my eyes and heart with no fear in her eyes.
In that moment we became one, I was her, she was me, both had the same heartbeat, I saw through her eyes and she did through mine. Time stood still and I can not put into words what exchanged between us but the words "Dancing Deer" was spoken during this time. It was the most awe-inspiring moment of my life, I was going through big changes in my personal life and she represented me coming into my own power, it was only a few days previous that I asked for a sign!! and I got one in a way I did not expect. This happened 14years ago and I can still feel that moment. She and I are now as one.

ShapeShifting

As a child I have had other magical encouters with animals, one was with a Horse when I was about 7 years old, I was stroking a grey horse when I found myself as the horse and I was looking back at me!
All through my childhood I would find myself inside an animal at some time or another.
I could be in the back of the car, day dreaming, watching the birds fly, when one bird would catch my eye and I would find myself inside that bird, flying and watching the car going along the road!
It was most often a crow that I would find myself in and we would become one for one brief moment, this happened to me on many, many, occasions.
Over a period of time I would be able to stay in the animal longer and talk to the animal and they would share their mysteries with me, but this was as natural to me as I am talking to you now, it just happened, I now know what I was doing!
"Shapeshifting" which is a very powerful shamanic technique!

The animals that I shapeshifted into brought me much strength and courage, this was part of my spiritual growth and learning ground to build links with the spirit world, it was my calling into " shamanism " and the understanding of it.

"Finding The Spirit With

“Freedom of The Horse”

I find myself trying to breathe with a coughing that feels like your whole lungs are about to explode outwards. I feel like I am coughing up the lining of my lungs, with a real sense that if I let go, I would die. This is what a severe asthma attack is like, and what my whole childhood was about; living with my asthma was, and is, a big part of my life.

My childhood was just this - my asthma. While I sat and watched children play in the street from the window, knowing that I could not go running around with a carefree attitude, I was never angry about my asthma; never did I wish that I did not have it and I never questioned it. I just accepted it as a part of me, and what went along with it. I did not go to a normal school until I was 13 years old, due to the fact that when I went to school in the 1970’s there were animals in the class and being asthmatic I could not be in the same room with them! And I was in and out of hospital so many times that I cannot begin to tell you how many! So my childhood was, some would say, a lonely one, but to me it was normal. However, to other children I was not normal, and bullying has been a part of my growing up too.

I look at my childhood with a knowing that this was my initiation to the spirit world. I had so many near death experiences and encounters with it from an early age that I grew to know that my asthma was a gift from the Great Spirit. This is because it has taught me so much about myself and the world around me. No, life has not been a bed of roses, far from it, it has been a very hard one, but I have such a deep connection to myself and the Great Spirit that life has become a challenge of trust, rather than living in fear.

It was during my asthma attacks that I had so many out of body experiences. At these times I would be looking down at myself having the asthma attacks, and at the doctors working on me. At the same time I would see many bright lights shining all around my physical body, and I would see lights of spirit people surrounding my astral body as it watched the whole scene from the ceiling.

During one of these asthma attacks my spirit horse came and met me, I was about 4 years old the first time I met my ‘power animal’. I remember that I was having a very bad attack. I was rocking back and forth to try to get through it, which is a typical sign of an asthmatic, when I found myself going into an out of body experience. I now know this is a form of shamanic trance, but at that age, it was just normal to me, and I went with the flow. I saw ball of very bright light coming to me, and as it got closer it changed to the shape of a beautiful white horse. I write this now, I have tears running down my face, as it was the most powerful and magical, emotional experience.

( Me at 10 years old! on a very special horse
I loved this horse so much!)

As the horse came up to me and I climbed upon his back, we became one. He took me to a beautiful place that is of this another world, and I found myself galloping along a sunny golden beach. Then we were in the forest, and then galloping in the air. He told me that his name was ‘freedom of spirit’, and from that time, during my asthma attacks he would come and take me out of my body, in order that my physical body would serve the asthma attacks, while my spirit would go to other worlds to be taught the ways of spirit.

So this was the beginning of my spiritual journey, I have had many journeys with my spirit horse by now, and over the years he has taught me much and has taken me to many magical lands.

My childhood was made up of these many journeys to other worlds with my spirit horse. We are all given a power animal from the moment we are born and in many ancient cultures around the world many people believe that when the soul is born to this earth they are given a power animal to protect them trough childhood diseases and early childhood. This is most apparent in Native American culture and our own native Celtic heritage. In these cultures the elder of the tribe would look for a sign to see which power animal was with the child, and then the elder would give the child a sacred object that related to that animal. This would protect the child and also make the connection between the child and the spirits stronger. The sacred object would take form as a rattle or a sacred medicine shield or medicine bag. This is why in today’s society we still give presents to the baby when it is born. Have you ever wondered why we give children a teddy bear for instance? It’s because the bear is a very powerful animal spirit that brings wisdom and protection! So perhaps you now realize that you have had a power animal all your life, and that your power animal has been trying to help you, but you had not made the connection. We are living in a world that has forgotten to read the magical signs and if only we took the time to stand back and look we would see such beauty and magic.

Many children talk about animals they see as friends, but as adults do we really listen or do we put down to imagination? Well I can speak for them, as my experience of the spirit world is as real as I am writing on this computer! And I know that if I had not left my physical body I would have died. This near-death also kept the door to the spirit world open, and as I journeyed to other worlds so too did the spirit world visit me, which I will talk about in the next chapter.

My spirit horse has stayed with my right up to this very day. I still see him from time to time, but not as much as I did in my childhood, when he was always with me as my asthma was so bad and it was literally unpredictable.

I remember one journey during a very bad attack I had when I was 14 years old. I was being taken to hospital via an ambulance with blue lights. I was told later by my parents, as the attack was that bad that I was out of it!

It was during this attack that my spirit horse come and got me and took me on a journey that started to change my life.

My spirit horse was taking me up into the sky through the clouds, and this had always been the main theme of the journeys where had the feeling of being free of pain and being able to breath was so very magical.

He put me down in a beautiful land that was very like home in as much as I had been there before. I found myself walking in a Native American Indian village and people were going about there daily life, dressed in beautiful Native American clothes. I remember one women weaving, but they just took no notice of me. I found myself being pulled in the direction of a tipi, and I slowly entered it. It was very dark inside apart from the fire and I noticed an old Indian man sitting the other side of it. He was mixing herbs and stuff that I had not seen before. He carried on as if I was not there, but he did know I was because he was singing /chanting under his breath to me in a language that I did not know, but yet could understand. He stopped and looked up at me, and I saw the most beautiful pair of eyes, that were warm and loving. He said “Daughter of the wind, you have a pathway in front of you that is of spirit”.

He then started to blow sacred smoke over me and bless me. Then he went back to his herb mixing, and I said thank you, and left the tipi. I found my spirit horse waiting for me as it was time to go. I came back to my physical body and found myself in hospital on a drip and taking oxygen. This is when life begun to change for me. The words that he spoke kept playing on my mind for many years until the day came when they came true.
