What is it?
Shamanism is a range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the spirit world. A practitioner of shamanism is known as a shaman. Shaman are spiritual beings with the ability to heal, work with energies and see visions. The essential characteristics of shaman are mastery of energy and fire as a medium of transformation. There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world; following are beliefs shared by all forms of shamanism:
· Spirits exist and they play important roles both in individual lives and in human society.
· The shaman can communicate with the spirit world.
· Spirits can be good or bad
· The shaman can treat sickness caused by negative spirits.
· The shaman can employ trance inducing techniques to incite visionary ecstacy.
· The shaman's spirit can leave the body to enter the supernatural world to search for answers.
· The shaman evokes animal images as spirit guides, omens, and message-bearers.
Shamanism is based on the premise that the visible world is pervaded by invisible forces or spirits which affect the lives of the living. In contrast to organized religions like animism or animatism which are lead by priests and which all members of a society practice, shamanism requires individualized knowledge and special abilities. Shaman operate outside established religions, and, traditionally, they operate alone. Shaman can gather into associations, as Indian tantric practitioners have done.
How does it work?
The shaman plays the role of healer in shamanic societies; shamans gain knowledge and power by traversing the axis mundi and bringing back knowledge from the heavens. Oftentimes the shaman has, or acquires, one or more familiar helping entities in the spirit world; these are often spirits in animal form, spirits of healing plants, or (sometimes) those of departed shamans.
While the causes of disease are typically considered to have physical causes, spiritual methods are used by the Shaman to heal. The shaman often will “enter” the body of their patient to find the spirit making the patient sick, and heal by removing the infectious spirit by the patient.
However, many shamans have expert knowledge of the plant life in their area, and an herbal regimen is often prescribed as treatment. In many places, the shamans claim to learn from the plants directly, only being able to determine the effects of a plant and use it to heal after meeting the spirit of the plant and getting permission.
