Discover Shamanic Practices for Healing and Growth

From the English countryside, surrounded by ancient burial mounds and stone circles, Kathy Postelle Rixon bridges two worlds: the rigorous inquiry of Cambridge science and the living traditions of Norse and Andean shamanism. Magic in Harmony is the meeting point: a place to explore healing, spiritual growth, and the profound intelligence woven into ancient wisdom traditions, guided by someone who has trained within them with depth, reverence, and decades of practice.

Meet Kathy

Kathy Postelle Rixon is a shamanic practitioner, researcher, and philosopher whose life's work sits at a genuinely rare intersection: where ancient wisdom traditions and cutting-edge science illuminate each other rather than compete.

She has trained with Norse shamans and Andean wisdom keepers, immersing herself in their sacred traditions with deep reverence and integrity. Initiated as a Shamanic Elder in the Andean tradition and drawing upon Norse and Celtic practices, Kathy works from the English countryside, surrounded by ancient burial mounds and stone circles - landscapes whose deep history infuses every aspect of her work.

At the University of Cambridge, Kathy researches the convergence of plasma physics, quantum entanglement, and conscious awareness, exploring the points where empirical inquiry and transcendent experience begin to describe the same territory. It is work that reframes science and spirituality not as opposing forces, but as complementary paths to understanding reality.

An accomplished professional pianist and Chair of The Philosophical Society: Oxford, Kathy brings the same depth, precision, and care to everything she does, whether guiding someone through a Deep Soul Reading, leading a course, or sitting with a difficult philosophical question.

If you'd like to work with Kathy or have any questions, she'd love to hear from you at Kathy@magicinharmony.com.

"Kathy is a brilliant scholar, a respected elder, and an exceptional teacher. Working with her is absolutely joyful, and genuinely feels like coming home!

Beyond Pure Reason: Reconsidering What It Means to Flourish

As both a researcher at the University of Cambridge and a shamanic practitioner, I find myself living at the intersection of two worlds that many consider incompatible. On one hand, I engage daily with the rigorous methods of scientific inquiry, such as plasma physics, quantum entanglement, and the empirical pursuit of knowledge. On the other, I work with ancient wisdom traditions, ways of knowing that don't fit neatly into rationalist frameworks. Is rationalism sufficient fo

The Hard Problem of Consciousness Looks Different From Inside Shamanic Practice

Philosophers call it 'the hard problem of consciousness': How does subjective experience arise from objective physical processes? How do you get the felt quality of seeing red from neurons firing? Why is there 'something it's like' to be conscious rather than everything just happening in the dark? From the outside, it seems genuinely hard, perhaps impossible to solve. From the inside, it looks less like an intractable puzzle and more like a category error. Let me explain what

Enhancing Your Spiritual Journey: The Role of Modern Shamanic Practices in Religion

Spiritual seekers often look for ways to deepen their connection to the divine and enrich their personal beliefs. Modern shamanic practices offer unique tools that can complement and enhance traditional religious and spiritual paths. These practices, rooted in ancient wisdom yet adapted for today’s world, provide experiences that foster healing, insight, and a stronger sense of unity with the world around us.

Sessions can touch on whatever matters most to you. Many people come seeking clarity around relationships, health, or a sense of soul purpose - that deeper question of why you're here and what you're meant to be doing. Others come hoping to connect with a loved one who has passed, and Kathy holds that possibility with great care and sensitivity. Shamanic healing can also be woven into the session, if you feel called to it.

Each session is entirely unique to you, lasting one hour for £150 or 30 minutes for £75. To book, simply click the 'Book Now' button above. Kathy looks forward to connecting with you.

What makes this course different is that the skills you develop here aren't just theoretical. You'll leave with practical tools you can use for yourself, alongside a deepened sense of connection to the wider web of life that shamanic traditions have always pointed toward. Whether you're completely new to this work or already have a spiritual practice, there's a place for you here.
