Etymology of … Continue reading Shamanic Understanding Of The Soul

From an early age I felt naturally drawn to a different path. When you are a kid and you like exploring graveyards, it kinda leans that way! I always knew reincarnation was a fact. To me, it made practical sense. I think I came in with this inner knowing as there was never a moment … Continue reading Tibetan Buddhism and Shamanism

When we look into the indigenous cultures of traditional shamans it is common that there is use of hallucinogenic ethnobotanical’s (plant medicine).
