Maybe all I mean by the word Shamanism is that the universe has a soul, the world has a soul. It's not an intellectual position, it is something felt. And that's all there is to it. Keep it simple, keep your eye on what is real.
--------------------------------
'Core' Shamanism complicates the Otherworld. It is simple: stuff works through you. That is our gift, and that is all you need to feel. Thinking you have to know what it is, and what it is that you have done, can make you doubt your experience. It can take you away from the Great Mystery that lies at the heart of everything, from which we draw whatever powers we may have. Those gifts are not ours, they belong to the universe and are there for everyone. There is not even an Otherworld, for the Spirits are always with us.
