Well Im going to try to go back to topic? What is shamanism, in how it relates today? In honesty I cant call myself a shaman, because Im not that villager that people go to, to heal themselves from sickness, or flyers, or other strange things. A shaman is a loner, one who is a healer in extraordinary ways. They have a foot in both worlds and typically are a tortured soul. But there does seem to be a new emergence of shamans who may not be so tortured, who can lead normal lives (sort of haha what is normal), but what I mean by that is function in the world, maybe with a 9-5 job, but they do their travels from time to time, with various allies, and live in a 'separate reality' from the norm. In honesty, im not very good at defining things that much, but I tried. *smiles*
