The Shamanic Worlds Podcast is the space for slow conversation. What lives on YouTube as shorts or in a book as chapters gets unfolded here. Mark and Eileen speak about wolf shamanism, voodoo, Japanese and Egyptian shamanism, Daoist-shamanic practice. The German sister show "Schamanische Welten Podcast" carries the same work for German listeners. Both channels stay cleanly separated by language — English here, German there.

Note: most existing episodes are currently in German. English-language episodes are being recorded — see the language tag on each episode below.

Why it exists.

Mark's voice

Mark tells the stories. Of Japan. Of the Shikoku pilgrimage on foot. Of the temples on Mount Koya. Of meeting Baron Samedi in Haiti. Of the wolf in the dreams. The format is deliberately unhurried — no hooks, no cliffhangers. Time for what matters.

If you know Mark's books, here you hear the voice behind them. If you are new, this is the most direct entry into the lineage — beyond marketing, in the working tradition.

Conversations with Eileen

In many episodes, Mark and Eileen carry the topic together. Eileen brings the religious-history perspective — Daoist ritual, Abe no Seimei, Shinto practice. The dialogues are not interviews; they are genuine two-voice conversations.

These formats open themes neither could open alone. Especially the connections between Japan and Daoism, between West African Vodun and Japanese ancestor practice, between Egypt and Shugendo.

Frequently asked

FAQ

How do I subscribe to the podcast?
Once the feed has been publicly migrated, you will find the Shamanic Worlds Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and every podcast app that supports RSS. Just search for "Shamanic Worlds" or paste the feed link from this page into your app.
How often does a new episode come out?
Regularly, but not on a fixed weekly schedule. The podcast follows the rhythm of its themes — sometimes several episodes appear in close succession around one cycle, sometimes there is a quieter phase. Every new episode is announced on the mailing list.
I have a topic I'm curious about — can I suggest it?
Yes, gladly. Topic suggestions can be sent through the contact form. Mark and Eileen read every message and often draw inspiration for future episodes.
Why two podcasts — a German one and an English one?
Because both language worlds deserve their own depth. The German episodes carry the directness of the mother tongue. The English Shamanic Worlds Podcast opens the work internationally — with its own formats and without translation distance. Each channel stays cleanly in its own language.
