The Path of the Wyllt

 

Seership Training 2026-2027

 

Welcome to The Path of the Wyllt. This year long training will introduce students to the basic concepts of seership and cunning practices in the ancient British tradition, supported by the surviving mythology of these Isles, and the evidence left to us in archaeology, history and folklore.

 

This year long course will take you on a journey into the wild self, exploring the themes and beliefs of our early ancestors, over five weekends with approximately three months between each for integration.

 

Sam’s wisdom and research is extensive and thorough yet, her rich life history and generous nature enabled me to connect with the material in a way that felt authentic, relaxed and accessible.

Participation on this training is dependent on two conditions having been met:

 

• The student has attended a Four Directions weekend workshop or has read my book The Medicine of the Four Directions: Ancient Signpost - Modern Path..

• The student has completed the application form; upon which I will receive guidance from Spirit.

 

I would ask that if your application is unsuccessful, that you do not take this personally. My guides will let me know why, and I will pass on that information. It may be that there is some spiritual work that needs to be done beforehand, and once completed, you will be able to access the next course.

 

I am so glad I applied.

This course has transformed my life in a myriad of subtle and profound ways.

Sam and Roj hold the space in a beautifully balanced and gracious way, challenging without demand or expectation, facilitating and respecting the wisdom of my own guides.

This is a very traditional way of working, a way which might seem quite alien in our society which demands instant gratification and expects the power of money to bring us anything we want. The Spirits do not see it that way, and I have been repeatedly instructed to be extremely careful in my selection.

 

It wasn't all easy, a lot of soul searching, looking inwards and facing things, also my whole world view has changed.

I now live in a world of magic and spirits and energy I can tap into.

I'm stronger but also softer and more receptive.

The most powerful experience of my life.

There is also the issue of numbers. I must be mindful that we can, realistically, only manage a maximum of 12 souls in each venue due to its size, and for our own ability to support each individual and hold space for them.

 

This year has been truly transformational for me, rocking my world and understanding of reality multiple times, and in so doing bringing me to a deeper, greater sense of myself.

It's safe to say it's not been an easy year.

I've been through every emotion, multiple times as I've been stripped back to my core, to rebuild myself again.

And again.

And again.

I reserve the right to change the syllabus at my discretion, dependent on the needs of the group, and you will be kept informed of any such changes.

 

Please don't 'hop on this course' because 'it might be nice.'

It is not a 'nice course'

It's a really horrible course - Sometimes.

It's also beautiful - Often.

Sam & Roj will be there for you through it all.

I stand with a deeper sense of how things are thanks to Pretani Wisdom & the Path of the Wyllt.

I know what's true for me.

I have done many courses & feel this one has had the most benefit.

I see my life path clearly,

I trust in the changes made during this course being for my higher good.

I thought I was deeply connected with nature before but now I am connecting in a reverent way.

I feel more grounded, balanced and sovereign and this has brought clarity & stronger boundaries in relationships, communication in general and purpose.
