What is Shamanism...

Many cultures understand that all the different parts of the universe are alive, and that each has its own spirit. This understanding that all things are alive is called 'animism.'

A shaman is someone who, through animistic understanding, learns how to work and communicate with all the living aspects of Creation. Their role is to communicate with - and negotiate between - these different parts of Creation; the different spirits of humans, animals, plants, rocks, stars, mountains, lakes, fire, wind and ancestors etc.. Because of their ability to communicate, a shaman is a healer, a tradition keeper, and a balancer of the forces which effect humans within the larger universe.
