The Heathen Imaginarium Wilderness Guide Training is a complete curriculum for working with the Heathen Imaginarium, a twelve-story journey from rebel to shapeshifter, and a guide to facilitating these journeys for others.
These are the days when only the strangest circles make sense, when the truest friends are those fellow freaks who really hear you when you say “I am changing,” and when the dreamworld speaks louder than the rational.
The Heathen Imaginarium is built from these peculiar bricks of myth, archetype, and dreamspeak, and the Wilderness Guide Training is for those who feel called to walk with others through the mud of memory, swim in the haunted seas of initiation, and seek sanctuary from the storms inside the bone-huts of personal myth, wonder stories, and ritual.
Please note that you do not need to have done the original Heathen Imaginarium journey in order to take and benefit from this training. The Wilderness Guide Training is filled with explanatory materials, videos and tutorials, as well as an opportunity to explore the original layout of the Imagainarium before you begin.

What was the Heathen Imaginarium?
The Heathen Imaginarium was a virtual “box” of muse, co-created by Danielle Dulsky and Lynae Of-Howl. Each box walked the participant through immersive virtual “chambers” of mythic poetry, visual story, art ritual, song, sigil-making, sigil-ritual, word-witchery and more. (The training includes ALL of this.)
There were twelve “boxes” in total, all rooted in a particular archetype and corresponding muse.
How can I use the Wilderness Guide Training?
This training is for anyone who feels called to dive deep into the Heathen Imaginarium. The training can be for personal development only, adapted to existing offerings such as ritual circles or covens, or used to create a new (strange, of course) sharing circles. The twelve “boxes” can be the source of themes, content, and reflective work for weekly, monthly, or seasonal gatherings, and these various adaptations are discussed in the training.
