About Cris Ashburn
Qualifications
​​
-
Initiate of Pack Tradition since 2024
At the age of 40 I was initiated into Pack Tradition. My roles are unfolding as I learn, however I was initiated into the Tradition via the Pack Spirit, Howl, as a holder of Sacred Songs and a Psychopomp. Pack Tradition is 'inherently polytheist and animist in perspective' and is ancestral-leaning and primal in practice. Follow the link for more information from its founder, Maleck.

-
Ancestral Priestess since 2014
At age 30 I was Priestessed by my strong and radiant mother, Rev. C.K. Ashburn. I took an oath to take up the mantle of acting Priestess within the family and speak for the Ancestral Mothers. We call this role 'Crow Woman', as she stands between worlds and works from within a space of transition. Rev C.K. Ashburn is the founder of Rhythyms of the Heart and has been a deep-rooted facilitator, healer, and wise woman to the spiritual community for decades. I am greatly blessed and beyond proud to be her daughter.

Practicing Hereditary Pagan for 25 years
I was raised in a multi-religious household by a Pagan mother and Southern Baptist father. I started training young, under the guidance of family and the Spirit World. By the age of 8 (1992) I began to take part in many family-based and public ceremonies. I officially dedicated myself to the Pagan path at age 11 (1995).
-
Psychic Medium & Ancestral Worker for over 30 years
To be honest, it is longer than 30 years. I have interacted with the Spirit World since I was in a crib. I began working with them via Dream Work, Claircognizance, Clairaudience, Clairsentience, Clairvoyance, and Channeling. I grew up playing dolls with Spirit, and giving bedroom fashion shows for the ancestors. I confided in them. I celebrated with them. They were, and are, such an integral part of not only my practice, but my entire life. As I breathe, so do they. As I speak, so do they. As I heal, so do they. And as I change, so do they. So this qualification was very difficult to put a timestamp on. I truly know no other way to be.
-
Energy Worker for over 23 years
By age 13 I was attending various workshops and courses on energetic healing systems with my mother. These workshops/courses included but were not limited to Donna Eden's Energy Medicine, Reiki II, & Quantum Touch.
