My First Blog Post

Posted bySusie j FolmerPosted inIntroducing myself

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.

— Oscar Wilde.

My background encompasses over 30 years of personal, practical, and academic practices in areas of Sociocultural Anthropology, History, Sociology, Psychology, Indigenous Studies, Criminology, Philosophy and other Social Sciences, which led to my Monash Masters and PhD Candidacy.

My personal spiritual journey has brought me to realise I enjoy an Animist approach in my Pagan Practices, including Shamanistic practices as central to my spiritual and ritual practices. I have studied with the Scandinavian Center for Shamanic Studies and enjoy immersive spiritual experiences. Having a Palawa mother and a Northern European father means that I am fortunate to draw upon cross cultural knowledge that guides my life and life’s work.

I hope you enjoy the writing both academic and creative, photography and art that I shall be sharing to my blog over the coming years. Please feel free to share pieces, I only ask my copywrite status be respected and any work quoted or used gives due credit. Thank you, Susie J Folmer.
