    Deer Jaime- I have been a shamanic practitioner since 1994 and Reindeer has moved me! I loved every line of this article, including your hilarious account of Santa… I will begin journeys to Reindeer to see what unfolds. Beautiful. Thank you. Marian Simon, MA

    This was a wonderful article to read this morning. I especially love the uncovering of layers of myth that have wound their way into our present shared cultural consciousness. Mrs Claus as the great mother, Rudolph carrying the light, quite a wonderful gift to take into the coming months. Thank you!

    Thank you so much for this. I had tears in my eyes by the time I finished it. A reindeer was the first power animal I ever met on my very first journey and he’s still my main helping spirit. I’m hoping to go to Mongolia in the next couple years to meet the reindeer shaman there in person.

    Thank you again, and as a bit of synchronicity, I was born and raised in Minnesota as well. 😊
