Hi there

I don't but funnily enough I was just thinking about this the other day. Wondering exactly what it involves.
Can you tell me a little bit about it?

shamnism properly (academically) is the dealing with the spirit world as a go between there are a few steps that are considered required to become a shaman.

There are many types of Shamanism they have very similar concepts,actions etc..
Native Indian, Celtic, Viking/asatru, Siberian and modern ecclectric community used for therapy, healing counselling, pysch stuff etc.

I am following the path of the Native Indian Shaman.

What would you be interested in? I am happy to share with you my knowledge of Native Indian Shamanism, I am not sure about the others.



Cheers!

Hi Amadahy,
So is it kind of like being a medium? Communicating with spirits and such?
Amadahy
Thanks POV, Do you know how i can find Running Bear, I would really love to speak to her.

Bradley, Yes you are correct, a Shaman has the ability to communicate with the spirit world to provide healing, guidance or wisdom.
This path for me is rather new, although I have always been very spiritual, My journey has just begun, and it's been a beautiful journey.

Here is a link if anyone is interested:

Thanks everyone for your replies.
