I have a strongly negative reaction to the terms ‘shaman’ and ‘shamanism’ as do most Native Americans. And there are several reasons for that. The most general is that almost 100% of people who are claiming to be shamans are just trying to get money from people. They may or may not have any gifts…
DetailsA common question I get asked by clients is “Why did X period of my life have to happen?” It’s usually something that took 5/10/20 years, seems from the perspective of cultural norms to have been a failure to achieve the standard goal, and to have nothing to do with the current phase of life…
