About the author

From early childhood Amantha Murphy was the girl-child chosen by her grandmother to be initiated into the ‘Way of the Seabhean’, a traditional Irish path of the healing woman and seer, a role passed down from mother to daughter (or grandmother to grand-daughter) since ancient times. Her grandmother was a healer and midwife.
Throughout her school years in London, Amantha was challenged by severe dyslexia which made reading books almost impossible. She lived for her summers in Granny’s house in Kerry. There, she was steeped in the Irish oral tradition. Like a sponge, she absorbed the ancient stories and the lore that was entrusted to her. In the process she became a compelling storyteller.
By the age of seventeen, she had started doing palmistry readings for friends. She found that she had the gift of perceiving things that she had no way of knowing on the physical plane. Amantha worked as a clairvoyant in London and then moved into spiritual healing, trance mediumship and esoteric astrology. None of this was learnt from books. Instead, she learnt to trust her innate abilities through Spirit’s direction. She went on to facilitate development groups and women’s circles.
Developing her skills as a healer and seer, Amantha understood the ‘Way of the Seabhean’ as a shamanic path. Following that path, she developed into the Seabhean that she is today.
In 1995, she began hosting tours to the sacred sites in Ireland and in 1997, she returned to Kerry to live on her ancestral land. As part of her Seabhean work, Amantha does private sessions with individuals, in which she works with them to balance their energies, so that healing may happen if that is meant to be. She works in a similar way with the dying and also worked as a doula with women giving birth. Since 2010, Amantha has been training groups of Apprentices at home in Ireland, in Canada and the United States in The Way of the Seabhean which includes Womyn’s Rites of Passage. Amantha also celebrates rituals and rites of passage for people and is a registered marriage celebrant, through the Spiritual Union of Ireland. Her Teachings are a blend of ritual, journeying, healing, and sharing of the traditional lore and stories. It is always joyful.
