John-Luke

Cu-fasaich Coisiche Dooidhche; John-Luke Edwards PhD., Sagart Ceann-Iuil; Warrior Priest and Seanair; Elder of Sagh’ic Tire Dhream, in which I hold the Traditional Title of Ciar-Sùil à Dorchar Cuchair (Eyes of The Dark Hunter).

Ordained as an animist priest; Sagart of the Sagh’ic, to bring consolation and reconciliation between the mundane world and the world of the Ancestral Spirits.

Ceann-Iuíl; Pathfinder or ‘Walker Between’ is the term used within the Sagh’ic Tradition for a ‘Spirit Worker’. Ceann-Iuíl walk between Light & Dark, Life & Death, the Mundane World & The Otherworld, through and by the Ancestral Spirits, to bring/call/guide through ceremony, those lost in the forgetful shadows, home.

This has been my work for the past 40 years


It has been my privilege and honour to have worked supporting those caught in the trials of abuse and abusing, working with victims, survivors and perpetrators of sexual abuse. Working with the gifts of the spirits, my journey has included working as a Spiritual Director, Retreat Facilitator, Aids Counsellor and Loss & Grief Counsellor, a tutor of Counsellors, Psychotherapists, Shamanic Practitioners, and working with Canadian First Nations, and with students, retreat participants and clients in India for the past 6 years.


It is my belief that the issues in our lives, which betray our destiny, fall out of our fear of Divine loneliness that manifests in a dysfunctional relationship with our soul song ourselves. This relationship yearns for ‘completion’; this yearning and dysfunction become reflected in all our external relationships.

In terms of the Sagh’ic, we forget the Song of our Souls and that silence creates this disconnection with ourselves, others, and the Earth and all Her Children.

I hope that my approach is to be a catalyst in the transformation and emergence of truth in the relationships those that seek me out have with themselves and their souls; by this to return to that first harmonic intention of the stars, which we are all born, to and for.

Through the Sagh’ic Tradition I have avowed to be of service to the Ancestral Spirits, The Ancient Ones and to the best of my abilities, to the Children of Our Mother, Màthair Tei, The Earth. A Sagart is ordained and a warrior priest, to be a bridge to the ancestral divine, and to bring an end to the shadows that keep us from our truth.

My greatest fear is that I will die and not be in service.
