The Essenes were an ancient community of Judea, around the 1st century.
They are known as the creators of the Dead Sea Scrolls, found hidden in caves in Qumran. The Essenes lived in a communal way, sacred and separated from
the profane and vile ways of the Roman Empire, with its hedonism and decadent gods. They made their way into the wilderness to prepare for the coming of a saviour. They lived according to The Way: dedicating their lives to being a vessel
for the Divine. Their daily lives consisted of prayer, study and purifying baths 
called Mikvahs.

Angels, prophecy and Journeying were part of daily life for the Essenes. 
They were known for their strong values, dedication to their faith, good health
and old age. They were warrior-like in defending their holy laws. The temple of the female creative source of the universe, was the centre of their lives. Their highest ritual was honouring her, an atonement ritual to bring heaven on earth. The Essenes were dedicated to keeping their communities as pure as possible.
This was to welcome angels to help them in their mission to eradicate all evil and create paradise on earth. They were a threat to the Roman agenda and after being unable to beat the Essenes at war, the Romans sent delegates to infiltrate their camps. This led to the ‘conversion’ of the messianic religion of the Essenes into the ideology of the New Testament.

The purity, personal responsibility and atonement of the Essenes were replaced with a new moral relativism, the demotion of the divine feminine, hedonism and passivity. These were put forth as concepts like ‘fate’, as well drinking blood, ‘finding the good in your enemy’ and ‘loving those who oppress you’, creating generations of disempowerment and ancestral trauma. This is called ‘the reversal’. Where the Essenes love individuation, uniqueness
and righteousness and truth in every deed, in the reversal doesn’t teach personal responsibility, discernment and boundaries, disconnecting people from their own power. This has led people to worship false idols in place of their connection with the divine and an institutional perpetrator-victim dynamic
was established, perpetuating soul-fracturing on a world wide scale. But we are here to reverse the reversal.

THE ESSENES

“Their lifelong purity, their avoiding of oaths or falsehood, their recognition of a good providence alone showed their love of God. Their love of virtue revealed itself in their indifference to money, worldly position and pleasure. Their love of man in their kindliness, their equality, their fellowship, passing all words.”

My job as a Shaman is to place the relationship with the Divine back in the centre of your life, creating true sovereignty and empowering you, no matter what spiritual denomination you choose (not) to adhere to, to help you heal, step into their full potential and experience a life of indestructible happiness.
