any opinions on this workshop lady...?

Reposted somewhat from my own journal:

There is a lady who uses tons and tons of 'ye-olde ancient fae blood really really not human priestess high priestess highest celtic celtic really celtic priestess' language in her biography for some workshops (even ones at not-pagan.not-'kin venues), and I want to know if she is full of entertaining shit, not-entertaining shit, or just basic shit that we all have. Anyone have experience with her? Her name is Sharynne MacLeod MicMhacha, who wrote a book about moon celtic stuff which really looks like a graduate degree project, which could be good, which I have and will browse through. I do not have any personal experience of this person, nor grudges or opinions, but just want to know who HAS had experience and opinions, before I go spend bucks in some boonie retreat that might otherwise be better spent elsewhere...you know?

I am happy to meet and learn from good teachers, and have no patience really with the bogus, so I try to find out which is which before getting stuck with them! Thanks. Most of the websites related to her have broken links or just pretty photos.

Otherkin Reiki still exists. It's not a single movement or anything like that, although I suppose there are/were several specific folks who have been the main workers. But really it's just a descriptive term for the fact that it's been observed to change and mutate and generally not follow the rules when otherkin get a hold of it. See OtherkinReiki, Open Source Reiki, The Tapestry of Worlds Attunement, and Jarin's posts on the topic on his website Dreamhart.org.

I'd run into one or two of those lately, and will look at the rest. Thanks! And people have said 'books about shielding and all', so I'm always happy to hear about more of the recommended titles. I find that some things work great for some and not for others, so am always happy to see options--
