About Angell Deer

Angell Deer is a mystic, medicine man, animist teacher, ordained minister, beekeeper, international speaker, and sacred disruptor. He is the founder of Sacred Paths and the New York Bee Sanctuary, and a devoted steward of rewilding projects across the U.S. and Europe. He is the author of Becoming the Medicine (Balboa Press / Hay House, Nov 2025) and The Sacred Web: The Magical Craft of Your Sacred Shamanic Space (Self published in 2023).

With over two decades of spiritual and ecological work, Angell’s life is dedicated to remembering and transmitting ancient wisdom. He walks the path of Andean Cosmology and Norse Shamanism, learning from elders, communing with the land, and listening for the old songs that still live in the trees, the bones, and the breath.

A weaver of stories, people, and worlds, he teaches from the fertile ground where grief meets grace, and where purpose is forged in the fire of personal and planetary transformation. His work calls us back to a more-than-human world, where healing is relational, and prayer is made with both hands in the soil.

Angell is trained as a Veterinarian, Medicine Man, Herbalist, Reiki Master, Breathwork Practitioner, and Meditation Teacher. He has served as an advisor to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and spoken at Harvard Business School, the French Embassy in New York, and global gatherings such as the French Davos Forum and the Concert for Earth, where he was honored as an “Earth Rockstar.”

For twenty years, Angell stewarded The Sanctuary in the Catskills—an intimate refuge for the sacred and a living altar to healing, rewilding, and the remembrance of what it means to be fully human. He now lives with his wife and children at La Ferme du Cerf Bleu, a renovated 18th-century farm in Burgundy, France, in devotion to land, community, and the mystery—tending to trees, bees, and ancestral ceremony.
