Sometimes, we need a way in to shamanism.
All you need to do is a quick search on shamanism to know that there is so much fluff and new age hippy nonsense out there. To a pragmatic person it can be very frustrating to see such nonsense touted everyday.
The truth about Shamanism is that there is nothing ‘nonsense’ about it. Everything is testable. Without Shamanism, we wouldn’t be here. We would be long gone. But I digress…
This episode is a look at how shamanism over the years has been weaved into a lot of myths and legends and effectively hidden in plain sight. There was good reason for this as anything which contradicted those at the top of society was rooted out and effectively silenced. We needed a way to preserve the essense of what shamanism represented and this resulted in esotericism.
Sometimes, a fresh perspective on those common stories we all know and perhaps dismissed can help us gain a flavour of what shamanism represents. Provide us with a new angle to approach shamanism and slowly understand what its all about.
So we take a look at a few myths and legends and take a look at the deeper meaning behind them.
Enjoy

I have been connected to nature since I can remember as a child. I always found myself alone in my views. I lived by “energy can be created but never destroyed. ” I have a degree in biochemistry and when I heard your podcast on the Krebs cycle, you helped me fill in the gap. I have lost children and met a shaman years later and gave me another view . I heard of shamanism but I never knew that I have been doing it all this time. Not specifically the techniques and drumming but the chalistity definently. I have been working on living in the moment for years and years. Anyways my point is thank you.
