Biography

 

John and Caitlin

 

JOHN & CAITLíN MATTHEWS

are respected initiators in the Celtic and Arthurian traditions, and have opened many doors to a reappreciation of our ancestral and mythic heritage.

They are the authors of over 70 books. John's best-loved works are The Celtic Shaman, Healing the Wounded King and The Winter Solstice. Caitlín's books include Singing the Soul Back Home, Celtic Devotional, and Sophia, Goddess of Wisdom. They are the joint authors of The Western Way, The Encyclopedia of Celtic Wisdom, and The Arthurian Tarot. Their books have been translated into many languages including French, Italian, German, Czech, Dutch, Hebrew, Japanese and Russian.

The material in these books is based upon practical knowledge which they teach worldwide. Together they have pioneered the shamanic use of the vatic and spiritual elements within ancestral and Celtic traditions, and are co-founders of The Foundation of Inspirational and Oracular Studies.

They have made numerous appearances on tv in UK and US, and have been advizers on several series, including HRH Prince Edward's Crown and Country. They live in Oxford where Caitlín has a shamanic practice dedicated to midwifing the soul.

John and Caitlín are sorry that they cannot enter into correspondence via e mail on this web-site. This is not because they don't want to hear from you, but simply because the volume of ordinary mail they already receive is so great that if they take on any more they won't have any time to write those books you love! They have no secretary, nor do they earn enough to employ one, so every letter they get via snail mail they try to reply to personally. Hope everyone understands this! Keep on reading!
