Animism and Shamanism
I'm increasingly interested in shamanism.
Animism is a religious system in which adherents understand that most things in the physical world have spirits or souls. A spirit is said to animate the object. The spirits are believed to cause natural and supernatural phenomena to occur.
Shamanism is a religious system in which a shaman — also known in the West as a medicine man — serves as a medium between the spirit and physical worlds. The shaman normally helps others communicate with spirits, including the spirits of dead ancestors.
I'd enjoy discussing with anyone else who is interested.
