A Shamanic Journey through
The Wheel of the Year
to Awaken Your Inner Wisdom
with Cissi Williams
An ONLINE COURSE where you’ll journey with Goddess Archetypes and Spirit Animal Guides to embrace the medicine of the seasons.
A sacred journey into the mythical landscape of your soul, guiding you through a deep transformation and rebirth
What is the Wheel of the Year?
The Wheel of the Year is a sacred map that guides you through the cyclical dance of life, death, and rebirth. Rooted in ancient wisdom traditions and enriched by modern spirituality, it celebrates the changing seasons as powerful gateways for transformation.
This sacred journey invites you to reconnect with the rhythms of Mother Earth, letting her become your teacher. She shows you how to embrace the medicine of both darkness and light, helping you to blossom and expand into the next expression of your soul’s light and wisdom – just as she does through her seasons of autumn, winter, spring and summer.
Through eight seasonal festivals, you’ll move through portals of transformation, guided by goddess archetypes and spirit animal guides who carry the medicine of that season.
At the Autumn Equinox, you begin your descent – spiralling deep into the mythical landscape of your soul, guided by Persephone, She who knows the way through the darkness.
At Winter Solstice, in the stillness of the longest night, you open to receive the light of of new dreams and visions from the Cosmic Womb – reminding us that it is in the depth of the darkness that the light is reborn.
As the wheel turns to the Spring Equinox, you RISE – emerging reborn from the underworld, carrying your soul gifts, and ready to say YES to that which lights you up, so you can follow your Highest Path.
And at the Summer Solstice, guided by Mary Magdalene, you awaken your inner ‘witch-within-wood’ —the golden light of your soul— so you can embody this radiant light and begin to share your feminine magic and soul gifts with the world.
The Wheel also invites you to connect with spirit animals guides, the guardians of nature’s wisdom. Raven helps you transform shadows into light, Wolf teaches you the power of boundaries, and Owl helps you witness the new light that is emerging.
By journeying through the Wheel of the Year, you align yourself with these sacred cycles and archetypes, weaving their timeless magic into your life. This journey is a sacred invitation to dance with the seasons of darkness and light, awakening your feminine wisdom, and weaving your soul gifts into your world.
Module One: Autumn Equinox
22nd September 2026
MODULE 1: journey into the mythical landscape of your soul with persephone
The Autumn Equinox marks a time of balance, when day and night are once again equal.
In Greek mythology, this is when Persephone begins her descent into the underworld of the soul. She becomes our guide in the darkness, helping us to transform wounds into wisdom, shadows into light.
You’ll journey with Persephone into the mythical landscape of your soul, where you’ll meet Hecate, the ancient Goddess of the Crossroads. She’ll hold up a light for you, so you can witness what needs to be transformed. She’ll also give you a key to unlock your hidden potential - so you may remember your truth, your power, and your sacred soul gifts.
Module 1 consists of lectures on the Autumn Equinox, the Dark Mothers Persephone and Hecate, the Medicine of the Serpent Mother, as well as inquiry processes, and a shamanic journey guiding you deep into the mythical landscape of your soul.
Module two: Samhain
31st October 2026
MODULE 2: Journey into the Cauldron of TRANSFORMATION WITH THE DARK MOTHERs
Samhain is a sacred time, filled with magic, when the veil between this world and the spiritual realm is thinner, giving us an opportunity to connect with our ancestors, and journey into the magic and wisdom found in our bloodline.
At this portal of transformation, the Dark Mother calls us to journey deeper into her sacred cauldron of transformation. As we trust her wisdom, and surrender into her loving arms, we shed that which we’re meant to let go of, so we create room for us to receive the light of new dreams and visions when the light returns at the Winter Solstice.
Module 2 consists of lectures on Samhain, as well as on the Dark Mothers Hel and Cerridwen, and on the animal guides Wolf and Raven.
The shamanic journey will take you through the 7 gates into the underworld, moving you through a deep healing and transformation. You’ll also receive the pomegranate seeds of new light – the light of something new you will later birth into your life.
Module three: Winter Solstice
21st December 2026
MODULE 3: Journey to the Cosmic Womb and receive NEW VISIONS & DREAMS
The Winter Solstice marks the longest night - the deepest point of descent - and with it, the sacred rebirth of the light.
This is a time known as “Dreamtime,” a powerful period when psychic gateways open, enabling us to receive the light of new dreams we are meant to bring into the world.
The Winter Solstice has been celebrated for thousands of years across many ancient wisdom traditions. This reverence is evident in the alignment of stone altars and earth temples – such as Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, and Newgrange designed to honour the birth of the light.
Module 3 includes lectures on the Winter Solstice, plus on how Mother Mary, Isis and the Sun Goddess are linked with the birth of the light in the middle of the darkness. You also meet the Spirit Weavers, and the Animal Guide Owl.
The shamanic journey will guide you to the Cosmic Womb, where you’ll receive the light of new dreams and visions.
Module four: Imbolc
1st February 2027
MODULE 4: Igniting the Divine Flame in your mystical heart
The Wheel of the Year turns once again, as the returning light begins to activate life all around you, signaling the shift from winter to early spring.
This light carries the promise of new beginnings, nourishing the dreams and visions you conceived during the Winter Solstice, so they can start to take root in your life.
Just as Mother Earth casts off her winter layers, we too are invited to release old thoughts and perceptions that have been shut away in the darker regions of our minds. By doing so, we create space for the seeds of new dreams and visions to be nurtured within our hearts and souls.
Module 4 includes lectures on Imbolc, the animal guides Cosmic Cow and Mama Bear, as well as on the Celtic goddess Brigid, and the Norse goddess Freya Menglöd.
You’ll go on a shamanic journey to the Mountain of Medicine where you’ll release thoughts that no longer serve you, so you create space for your visions and dreams to grow. You also ignite the fire in your heart, so this inner fire can nurture the dreams of new life growing within you.
Module five: Spring Equinox
20th March 2027
MODULE 5: A portal of rebirth
The Spring Equinox heralds a time of rebirth, as from this day onward, the light begins to increase in our lives. This is a season of renewal, where the magic of love ignites the spark of life all around us.
In mythology, this is the moment when Persephone ascends from the underworld, returning as the Spring Maiden, bringing with her the gifts of new life.
The Spring Equinox has been honoured for thousands of years as a time of new beginnings, where we celebrate the rebirth of life.
Module 5 includes lectures on the Spring Equinox, wisdom, power and magic from the Sun Goddess Sol and the Valkyries (all solar goddesses), and sacred medicine from the Animal Guides Eagle and Swan, guiding you on how you can choose your Highest Light.
You’ll go on a shamanic journey moving through your own rebirth, carrying your soul gifts, and ready to say YES to that which lights you up, so you can follow your Highest Path.
Module six: Beltaine
1st May 2027
MODULE 6: Igniting your inner magic
Beltaine marks the beginning of summer - a sacred festival that celebrates love, passion, and the blossoming of life.
At this time, the veil between the worlds is thin, inviting us to step into the magic of creation and begin to birth our dreams into being.
This is a time to ignite our inner magic - to say YES to life, YES to love, YES to our feminine power.
Now is the time to awaken your soul’s fire, to feed it with love, so it can ignite your feminine magic and birth your dreams and visions into being.
Module 6 includes lectures on Beltaine, teachings from the animal guide Phoenix, and wisdom from the Norse goddess Freya, who will show you how to RISE in your feminine magic and power.
Module seven: Summer Solstice
21st June 2027
MODULE 7: WEAVING A NEW STORY INTO BEING FOR THE FUTURE
The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year – a sacred time to celebrate life’s fullness and the abundance of light, awakening our inner life force.
The solstices are portals of transformation, thresholds of new consciousness, and as you step through the portal of the Summer Solstice, you’re invited to reflect on what you wish to let go of and what you want to carry with you into this new phase of expansion and transformation.
Module 7 includes lectures on the Summer Solstice, the Tree of Life, and Kundalini Rising, as well as medicine from the animal guides Swan Priestess and Falcon and teachings from Mary Magdalene.
You’ll also embark on a shamanic journey to awaken the ‘witch-within-wood’—the golden light of your soul, your inner ancient feminine wisdom- so you can embody this radiant light and begin to share her feminine magic with the world.
Module eight: Lammas
1st August 2027
MODULE 8: Giving thanks for the seeds of the harvest
Lammas is a celebration of the first harvest, honouring the abundance of Mother Earth.
In the Greek myth of Persephone, her mother Demeter, the Corn Mother, provides the grain for the harvest. During Lammas, Demeter represents the ripe corn of the harvest, while Persephone symbolises the seed that drops back into the earth, hidden throughout the dark winter months. When the light returns, that seed reappears as new life, embodying the cycle of death and rebirth.
This is the deeper meaning of Lammas – the understanding that the fulfilment of this year’s harvest already holds the seeds of all future harvests.
Module 8 includes lectures on Lammas, teachings from Demeter, and medicine from Mama Bear, who shows us the importance of receiving nourishment in preparation for our descent into the underworld at the Autumn Equinox.
You’ll also go on a shamanic journey, giving thanks for the abundance in your life, receiving nourishment from Mother Earth, and beginning to shed what is no longer needed, preparing for your descent into the Cauldron of Transformation.
Module nine: Becoming the Wise One
23rd September 2026
MODULE 9: WEAVING A NEW STORY INTO BEING FOR THE FUTURE
You’renow ready to journey once more - this time as the Wise One - descending into the underworld like Persephone, to move through another soul transformation.
But this time, you have a deeper understanding of this sacred MAP, and you journey as the Wise Woman, where you are the midwife birthing a new you when the light returns.
This journey is not linear.
It’s a sacred spiral.
Each year, as the Wheel turns, you are invited to descend again - to witness new layers, transforming old wounds into wisdom, and shadows into light.
And each time, you spiral deeper into the ancient well of your own feminine wisdom.
Module 9 consists of lectures on the Wise Woman, the cycles of life, death, and rebirth, and how you are now the Queen, choosing to journey into the Underworld so you can awaken even more magic within you. You’ll also go on a shamanic journey to the Cauldron of Creation, meeting the Three Ancient Mothers, who will share the wisdom and medicine they feel you need so you can follow your soul’s path.

Each module consists of lectures, guided shamanic journeys and PDF’s, and will take you around 2-3hrs to complete.
The course has been created in such a way that it will give you the information and inspiration you need, to unlock the transformation of each portal, but without overburdening you.
Hence there are only 18 journeys for the whole course, which works out around 2 journeys per module (3 on the initial module, 2 on all the others, and one on the last module).
One journey takes you deep, where you are being guided by the Goddess Archetypes. And one journey is where you meet the Animal Guides so you can strengthen your connection with them.
You gain access to each module as we enter into that season.
Each season lasts 6 weeks so you have plenty of time to go through the material for that season before we move into the next one.
