    About this ebook

    The journey of an everyday woman with incredible gifts. A personal and intimate story of transformation and growth. With the Tarot, intuition and plant medicine as guides. This tumultuous journey brings insights into living intuitively and how profound change can impact positively on one's own journey. A journey of wisdom and Universal humour with a touch of romance.

    Hallucinogenic High Priestess is based on Tam Brown's personal journey of spiritual transformation. In the book she shares her insights into transformation, living intuitively and her personal experience with hallucinogenics and plant medicine and how these have impacted on her journey. The High Priestess aspect is taken from the High Priestess card in the Tarot's Major Arcana. The High Priestess is known as the ultimate spiritual guide and teacher, which Tam understands to be her purpose here in this lifetime.

    "As a Spiritual Guide and Teacher to others, one needs to practice what they teacher. This was the reason for me stepping off the proverbial cliff months ago and stepping off into what has been my biggest transformation journey yet. My hope is that anyone who reads this book will be inspired to make the changes they require in order to better their lives and that it may teach others to step outside of their fears and insecurities and embrace life in an intuitive manner. Living life intuitively is possibly one the most beautiful and profound ways to live." Tam Brown

      Foreword

      I met Tam a few years back when she made use of my Wellness Centre for her readings and healing modalities. I immediately loved her curiosity and enthusiasm and enjoyed our chats between sessions. She really does embrace life passionately!

      I’ve loved watching Tam blossom over the years and grow into the person ready to tackle the Fool’s journey into becoming the beautiful High Priestess that was ready to unfurl her glorious wings and emerge from the cocoon within. Well done on tackling this journey with so much Joie de vivre.

      I’m thrilled that Tam has taken the time to write this wonderful book and capture the lowlights – and highlights - of her exploration into self. She expresses herself in an easy-to-read style and doesn’t hold back the punches. She gives us the sense that we too, can accomplish this journey.

      I recommend this book to everyone on a Spiritual Quest. Tam shows how it can be done when one embraces the lessons, acknowledges and acts on the signs our beautiful universe shows us when we are open and ready to see them.

      Well done Tam – and best of luck! I look forward to the sequel that I hear is already bubbling on the back-burners!

      Introduction

      This adventure story is about my personal journey. A journey I'm taking to step fully into my power as a High Priestess. I have known for many years what my purpose is in this lifetime and I have taken every opportunity to live that purpose. Most people would term me a psychic and I am a natural empath and healer. These beautiful gifts I received from my Father's side of the family. It is a blood line that dates back to the Viking age and has its roots in Irish and Celtic heritage. Admittedly, my gifts often feel like a curse and finding the balance is not always easy. It is one of the main reasons for the journey I am on. I have been reading the Tarot since the age of about fifteen and have spent years studying and researching how it aligns with one's life path. When used proficiently, the Tarot gives one great guidance and insight, as well as the reasons why certain things happen. This story relates to my personal experiences with transformation, enlightenment and the 'crazy events' that have unfolded since I stepped off that cliff. In addition, it shows how the Tarot and my trusty intuition have made for an amazing guide along the way.

      The last few months have revealed some tumultuous changes in my life. This, my story, is what I want to share with you. I hope that in doing so I will inspire others to overcome the fear to make the necessary changes. Little did I know that when I started I would be stepping into an adventure. An adventure that would result in the full opening of my third eye, at times a terrifying, yet oddly humorous journey. What's more it had a touch of romance as well. My gift to you, is that what I share, may assist you too on your own journey as you step off into the abyss. It all begins in December 2015. My beautiful friend and personal reader, Leo, did a Tarot reading for me. Two very specific cards were drawn that day. The High Priestess, the ultimate spiritual guide and teacher. The Queen of Cups, deeply empathetic, intuitive and a natural care giver. I was told that it was time for me to embrace my mission as High Priestess and emulate the qualities of the Queen of Cups. And the time was now. As I understood immediately what was required of me, it sounded easy enough right? After all I believed I was almost there already. I can now safely say how very, very wrong my assumptions were! In reality I was far from who and what I needed to be. One does not just simply step into High Priestess power. So what does the journey require? It required a journey of transformation, deep faith and learning to live intuitively, in every waking moment. The tests are hard, fast and powerful. Facing the shadow aspects of one's self and being able to shine a light on this, is not a walk in the park. In addition, it is not a journey for the faint hearted! It requires strength that far surpasses the human understanding of 'strength.' An interesting aspect of my journey is that parts have been done in a sober state of mind, whilst others in an altered state of mind! In order to aid my path, I have regularly partaken in the use of Marijuana and plant medicine. Some of these plants have hallucinogenic properties, which can affect individuals in a variety of ways. For me I chose to use the plant medicine for my own spiritual growth and advancement. I want to make it clear that I do not advocate that personal transformation and change require plant medicine and that pure intuition alone, can be as effective. I emphasis this is an individual and personal choice. There are many experienced facilitators out there, who offer experiential guidance should one choose the route of plant medicine. My belief is that everything, in life, happens for a reason. That includes that if you have picked up this book, it is not by chance! One of my greatest hopes is that this story will inspire you to make the changes you desire, or assist you greatly on your path of transformation.

      Tea With Nu

      I was in the very specific situation where I needed to make pivotal decisions about my life. One of them was about my decision regarding my ten year relationship with my then fiancé. For the purposes of privacy, I will refer to him as Ryan. That day sits so clearly in my memory. The intense anxiety I felt. The heaviness that sat with me. I could not carry on like this anymore. For months I had been asking myself the same questions over and over. Is this where I want to be? Am I here for the right reasons? The answers were always the same. It was clear I was definitely not there for the right reasons. This was not where I wanted to be nor where I should be. At the same time, I felt incredibly stuck. Fear of the unknown had always held me back. I was in a deep comfort zone and simply watching my life pass by. My relationship was unbalanced. My life had become dull and monotonous. I was going nowhere. I wasn't living. I was merely existing. I had to get out! A shift and change was imperative in order for me to move out of that space permanently. This was the reason I went to visit Nu, my best friend. My head was a complete mess and it was now time to find order in the chaos. I opened up to her about everything. I told her how I was feeling and about the questions I constantly asked myself. Nu listened and asked questions as we spoke. She shared her perceptive about things. Being completely honest with me she told me that I could achieve anything I set my mind to. She acknowledged the strength inside me to make the changes I needed to. Nu showed me a glimmer of the strength I needed in order to do what was necessary. Her comforting words were a stark reminder that I would be okay no matter what. It required faith in myself and my strength was the foundation for that faith. I hold so much gratitude for Nu and for her showing me that glimmer, and also for the numerous cups of tea she made for me that day. I believe, this was the moment I started to search for my courage. It was the courage to step off the cliff and begin my journey of full transformation. The conversation with Nu buzzed around in my head for the next couple of days. First on the agenda? I needed to find the strength to tell my fiancé, Ryan, I was leaving him. I kept trying to find the right time and way to do it. However, Ryan beat me to it. He picked up that something was seriously amiss with me and finally asked me what was going on. The moment had presented itself and it was now, or probably never. This was the moment that I had to be open and honest with him and told him that I did not want to be there anymore. I explained that this was not the life I wanted. He asked if we could try again. I intuitively knew that the relationship was long over. However, I ignored my inner voice and agreed to give it another chance. Over the next couple of days, I felt myself growing further and further away from Ryan. I could tell he could feel the distance as well. My intuition continued to tell me that life changing events where going to happen no matter what. Yet again I ignored my inner voice. I carried on with life. I was in fact burying my head in the sand.

      During this tumultuous time, I happened to stumble across a very interesting Soul. A Soul sitting on the other side of the world. A Soul I have yet to meet in person. This someone I have come to call my Lovable Nuisance. And believe you me it is an apt nickname! He evolved into a presence who managed to pass on the most outrageously, accurate, Divine messages and lessons. At times, it was just so damn annoying. He would tell me what I already knew to be true, but would have preferred to ignore. He made it sound so simple at the same time. I understood his mantra to be It's easy, just make it happen. In truth, it actually is that easy, which makes it even more frustrating. Nuisance and I clicked almost instantly. It was like meeting a long lost friend after many years. It was almost as though we had automatically picked up from where we left off. My question was from where? My intuition quickly told me he had wandered onto my path for
