Banishing Snakes with Fire

13 Rituals to Reclaim Your Authentic Self

By: James Dey Harris

Narrated by: James Dey Harris

An inner journey through trauma, symbol, and psychological transformation—brought to life through thirteen fully guided rituals embedded within this audiobook experience.

What if the wounds that shaped you are not your enemies—but messengers?

In Banishing Snakes with Fire: 13 Rituals to Reclaim Your Authentic Self, Jim shares a deeply personal story of unraveling and reconstruction—a journey through trauma, imagination, inner guides, and the difficult work of becoming authentic.

Blending memoir with experiential practice, this audiobook does more than tell a story.

It guides you through one.

Each chapter weaves narrative with ritual. After hearing the story that gave rise to each practice, you are led into a fully produced guided ritual—complete with music and spoken narration—allowing you to participate directly in your own transformation.

These immersive rituals are woven into the audiobook itself. You don’t just learn about them—you experience them.

Through these thirteen practices, you will:

• Confront the “snakes” that inhabit the shadows of the psyche

• Reclaim fragmented parts of yourself

• Develop a relationship with your inner guide

• Transform trauma into symbolic insight

• Step consciously into your own mythic story

This is not abstract philosophy.

It is lived experience—and embodied practice.

If you sense that healing requires more than analysis…If you feel that imagination is a doorway rather than fantasy…If you are ready to reclaim your authentic self…This audiobook invites you into the fire—not to be destroyed, but to be remade.
