About
My name is Kelly Walsh and I serve as guide and ally on The Walk With Mystery. It is a great honor to serve in this role and bear witness to your embodied expansion.
I am a dreamer. Before the world had fully domesticated this brown-eyed wonder I knew myself most keenly in the spaces between. Drawing, poetry, and music became my bridge between worlds. Among the clusters of tiny white and pink springbeauty flowers I’d sit and listen to the Earth’s stories. There the daydream fed me visions and assured me of my home.
I come from the lineage of the Norse Völva, seeress and medicine woman, revered for her abilities to navigate the unseen world and provide council to communities. This lineage has been the anchor in my offerings and growth, and continues to ground me in the wisdom of my ancestors to forge the legacy of what’s to come.

Through over twenty-five years of training and experience there is a vast body of ancient and modern knowledge coursing through this vessel. The wisdom of the Norse Völva lineage informs the very foundation of my contributions. Each opportunity to share the knowledge and wisdom from within is a reverential ritual to the ancestors, teachers, and other-than-human ones I received this life from, and a devotional act to the one who has called on me as their ally.
Each day I am deprogramming, re-wilding, and re-membering so that I can be of service and honor the truth innately held in my heart.

Healing takes place in relationship with human and other than human beings. We are our own healer and through our healing we grow, expand, and become more on a Soul level. By calling on all support, seen and unseen, we choose empowerment and offer consent for healing to take place. During our work together we call on our Spirit Teams for their power, protection, and support. We learn, heal, and grow together.
