Self Conscious Mystic

Self Conscious Mystic

Madness and mysticism. Articulating lunacy and other mysterious things. I have a psychotic disorder and experience this as a spiritual phenomenon as well as a medical condition. I am training with Shamanism Ireland to be a transpersonal therapist. Here I discuss non-ordinary reality, mysticism, psychosis, spirits and dreams. The point really is to talk about things I don’t know how to talk about. Non ordinary states are things that are hard to explain and almost impossible to describe. This is a personal challenge for myself, a project which came to me in a series of dreams about making videos. I’m currently writing a book about Lí Ban, a mermaid in Irish myth. You can follow me here and / or add your email on my website to find out when the book is released: www.catherinehatt.com New episodes every month, follow to join my journey. Also available as a video on Substack, YouTube and Spotify

Here I try to describe what happens when I become a dragon. It is possibly the most powerful and extraordinary of all my spiritual experiences, because of the immense presence o...

The end of the story and the rebirth of The Handless Maiden.

 

From persecutory delusions to wisdom and perception, the handless maiden has to go bravely into ancient territory, using Spirit as a guide.

 

She depends on her silver hands as the psychiatric patient depends on their medication. She would be lost if not for Spirit, and this is where I am at in my recovery journey with psychosis.

 

The Handless Maiden cannot do this ...

Part two of The Handless Maiden's story about psychotic illness.  Including heavy medication (the silver hands), the mystic births the shaman, and the devil twists the truth (persecutory delusions and hearing voices).

This story came into my delusion/ reality when I was terrified believing my hands were going to be chopped off.  The myth is a wonderful way to explain mental illness and mysticism, as The Handless Maiden is vulnerabl...

I set the context of my mystical podcast, explaining first of all that psychosis is disturbing and profoundly challenging... The Handless Maiden is haunted, traumatised and disabled... In her story, this extreme vulnerability brings her close to God/ Spirit... This is the first part of her tale... An old fairytale which begins with The Devil... This fairytale appeared in my delusions a...

To include psychosis and the paranormal, spirit possession, talking to god/ the gods, g...
