Mary Deveneau’s fascination with psychic phenomena began 35 years ago when she picked up an Edgar Cayce book at a yard sale. Before reading Cayce, she assumed everyone knew the things she knew. When her friends kept telling her she had ESP, Mary soon realized that psychic ability was a gift not everyone used. After reading Cayce, she was hooked on anything metaphysical. She read every self-help and metaphysical book to read, and took every class or workshop available to her.

Shamanism became an important part of Mary’s life when she had two years of formal training with Spirit Passages Shaman’s, C. Allie Knowlton, MSW, LCSW, LCSW and Evelyn C. Rysdyk, teacher of Shamanism and Shamanic Healer, Sacred Artist and author of Modern 
Shamanic Living.

Over the last 10 years, Mary has participated in many Native American healing ceremonies, and studied with Native American Elders from four different tribes. Mary now writes her own ceremonies based on Celtic Shamanism.

Mary is a dual citizen of Ireland, her family’s homeland. She leads Spiritual Adventure Tours to her home country every year during Summer Solstice. Ireland is her magical playground, exploring the sacred sites of her ancestral land, along with Celtic traditions, while enjoying her family who live in County Clare .

Mary is a healer, with training in shamanic healing, past life regressions, aromatherapy, Reiki, Spiritual Response Therapy, Jin Shin Jyutsu, dowsing, Feng Shui, and psychometry. Mary not only has taken many workshops on intuition and psychic ability, she teaches them as well.

In 1991, Mary opened Light of the Moon, a metaphysical bookstore in Portland , Maine . Mary wanted to share knowledge with the seekers who sought out her successful store, while at the same time having access to all the books and healing tools she loves. Mary also offered psychic readings daily in the store.

Having served as a resource for nine years, Mary was led by her guides to close the store and make herself available for psychic readings full time. She spent the next two years clearing her energy to refine her connection to Spirit and to develop a powerful system of reading that is healing and empowering to both clients and to Mary, herself.

When reading a client one day, a guide came through named Robert. He described himself as a man of 6 feet, heavy build with dark curly hair. He said he was a business man who never spent much time with his children. He was sorry for this, as he realizes what a mistake this was to have missed the most important part of his life. He wanted to tell his daughter how much he loved her and how proud he was of her. His daughter cried and said how much she missed him and how she never knew if he really loved her. Months later she said how this had helped to heal her grief.

Since that time, Mary has done lots of medium work with clients to help them with their grief. In 2003, she took a workshop with the author and medium, John Edward in New York. John gave her the confidence and knowledge to continue helping people through their process of grief and healing. This is some of Mary's favorite work.

Mary reads for people all over the world by phone. She travels throughout the country to offer workshops and readings, and has now expanded to tours and workshops in New Zealand and Ireland .

Mary lives on the Olympic Peninsula in Port Townsend, Washington with her husband, Michael. Mary and Michael spend their spare time skiing, kayaking, hiking, and camping in the mountains.
