Shamanic everyday magic

Shamanism is about as old as humanity itself. Almost every culture has developed its own form of shamanism. In the northern hemisphere, we have the most traditions of shamanic rituals from Siberia and North America. Germanic tribes and Celts have left no written records. Nevertheless, there are ideas and derivations of Central European shamanism.

Shamanism is currently enjoying increasing popularity. Perhaps it is the spiritual connection between man and nature, the opportunity for inner growth without a missionary hierarchy, or something similar.

In my offerings I give a brief overview of the shamanic world view, power animals, spiritual helper beings and the significance of ancestors.

I also use small, helpful rituals to show how shamanic approaches can enrich our everyday lives with a little perceived magic. I will also outline the difference between this and dubious methods and offers. Whereby this “magic” consists primarily of self-care, mindfulness and mutual appreciation. Inner growth, universal connectedness with all living things and a fundamental trust in things are basic aspects of a shamanic world view.
