About Anthony`s Shamanic Work
An Introduction from Anthony and a Conversation With his Visitors.
To my friends and clients,
This introduction is intended so that I may provide you with a look into my spiritual background and how I came to discover my path as a shaman. My intention in doing this is so you can get to know what it is I want to share with you.
One morning in May of 1995, I woke from a deeply disturbing dream in which I had died a rather bloody death. In this dream my lover and I had been driving in the South Western American deserts. We came across an area of land that rose up to form a large crater in the earth. There was a glow in this crater that we wanted to explore. So we crept up to the edge to find many heavily armed men digging in the earth. An alarm went off and we were discovered. Just moments later my lover and I where shot to death.
For the first time in my life after that morning, I began to have anxiety attacks every night before I went to bed. When I did eventually fall asleep, dreams would begin that would be profound and dark.
I began a journey to discover the reason for these dreams and what they meant. This journey created a need within me to change the way I was living my life. This change has been slow and long. I have seemingly gone through fifteen years of little deaths. I have learned that this process of little deaths is called ego death or shaman death.
This journey has led me to do a great deal of personal study. As I have chronicled in the book I am writing ''A Gathering of Butterflies - A Wizard's Collection of Stories and Love Letters'', I came to discover the writings of the Shamanic Author and Teacher Lynn V Andrews.
Her first book Medicine Woman came to my attention on a trip I took to Seattle in April of 1996. It literally grabbed my attention from a bookshelf in a mall store. After reading most of it in the food court of that very mall I was fully aware that I had found my way home. From that moment on I knew that the balance of female and male energy in the form of the Goddess and God within was my life work staring me in the face. Yet I was very young and ignorant, so I had a lot of growing and maturing to do before I could live this truth.
Since that day in 1996 to the beginning of 2000 when I formally began my work with Lynn's organization, (called LACSAT, Lynn Andrews Center of Spiritual Arts and Training), my life has been one of constant change and learning.
I
was an enrolled student for almost three years, and I have also worked
at her Joshua Tree Gatherings as a staff member for seven of the last
ten years. It is in that capacity along with the school training that
has transformed my life in ways I could have never imagined.

Anthony`s Classes and lectures.
In my independent work outside of the LACSAT programs, I have conducted many intimate classes and workshops on subjects ranging from dreaming, medicine wheel teachings, alter magic, astral projection, ceremonial art work, dancing with the shadow side and so much more.
It is my sincerest wish to expand on my opportunities to provide information to all those who wish to learn about these subjects. Most importantly, to share the importance of the balance between the Goddess and God within us.
Many Blessings to all of you,
My love to you,
Antony P Pauly Jr

This is a five month old male white buffalo. His name is Magic and his Mother is Miracle Moon. Same day as the other photo.
This cute guy licked my face and almost pushed me into a cow pie.
