Geo Athena Trevarthen

Dr. Geo Athena Trevarthen combines academic skills with spiritual understanding. She is the author of The Seeker's Guide to Harry Potter published by O Books, and developed and taught the course on Harry Potter at the University of Edinburgh, where she is a post-doctoral fellow. Her PhD was the first to academically demonstrate a full range of shamanic practices in early Celtic cultures. She was raised in a Scottish and Irish family shamanic tradition. As a hereditary practitioner of shamanism, she grew up in an in-spirited, inspiring reality akin to the wizarding world-view of the Potter books. Her website is www.celticshamanism.com.
