About the Author
Angell Deer is a mystic, medicine man, teacher, land steward, and lover of all things wild, strange, and sacred. For over two decades, he has walked the spiral path of remembrance—studying, embodying, and teaching ancient wisdom from the lineages of Andean cosmology, Norse shamanism, animist ritual, and Earth-based healing.
He lives at the intersection of ceremony and soil—where compost meets cosmos. His work weaves together grief and joy, ancestral reverence and modern reckoning, sacred business and soul sovereignty. He is known for his devotion to deep practice, his poetic way with words, and his unshakable belief that transformation begins not in the sky, but in the roots.
After many years of tending The Sanctuary—a sacred land and healing center nestled in the Catskill Mountains of New York—Angell has recently returned to the land of his ancestors in France. There, he and his family are growing La Ferme du Cerf Bleu, a rewilded farm, guesthouse, and initiatory home for ritual, permaculture, spiritual retreat, and the slow, courageous work of becoming human again.
Trained as a Veterinarian, Herbalist, Breathwork Facilitator, Reiki Master, and Ordained Minister, Angell’s initiations have come as much from grief as from guidance. He has been shaped by elders across traditions, years of ceremony, and by the earth herself. His credentials include speaking at Harvard, the French Davos Forum, and the UNFPA. He once advised global agencies. Now, he mostly listens to bees.
He is the founder of the New York Bee Sanctuary, a national nonprofit advocating for pollinators and their sacred role in ecological balance. His work—whether through writing, teaching, or healing—is devoted to the restoration of relationship: with land, with lineage, and with the invisible threads that bind us all.
He currently lives in Burgundy, France, with his wife, daughter, and a growing constellation of trees, animals, spirits, and stories. When he is not holding ceremony or writing something inconveniently long, you can find him in the garden, barefoot, probably talking to a plant or a bee.
