Pursuing real, practical shamanism is NOT easy. Navigating through the nonsense. The mystical. The delusion. The incoherence with reality is like wading through a swamp, uphill, in the fog. Has it ever felt like shamanism is a fascinating subject? One that calls to you? But when you look into it,, you read some books, you join a few groups... something doesn't feel right? Something doesn't sit with you and what you know to be real. There is a disconnect there and you don't know what it is. The t...
Delgekh is a powerful shamanic technique that is like a powerful wave, providing insights into the world of energy.
This week we introduce the our first "real" shamanic technique, Boekhgeen Khengreg. This technique uses a drum, so we also go into some of the background to drum use in Shamanism in general, including how to hold the drum in the Havtas position.
In this episode we provide a gentle lead into the second major stage of learning Shamanism, Amsgar. This is preparation for the introduction of the first real shamanistic technique (rather than exercise), which will be introduced in the next episode.
In the last of our series of three episodes on the Miasma, we look at ways in which shamans use the chalicity techniques to overcome or mitigate the Miasma. The purpose of this mitigation is to allow shamanic technique to be firmly grounded in reality.
Continuing our look at the Miasma, in this episode we discuss its traits and characteristics, and its role in hindering the progress of the shaman.
So we want to learn shamanism. Shamanic technique. We want to make sure our shamanism is real and not delusional. We want to make sure the knowledge, the understanding, we gain through shamanic technique comes into us from outside. From nature. And not from within us. So why are we dedicating the next few episodes to what we call 'the miasma'? Well the miasma plays a huge part in diluting our connection to nature. It's a veil. A haze which sits in front of us obscuring truth and convincing us of...
This week i am so excited to bring you another episode on the topic on animism. We explore none other than the Evenki people of northern Asia. They are a facsinating look at Animism in play. So we take a lot of the topics we talked about last episode and look at how it applies to the Evenki people. "Everything you hear about shamanism, well... The Evenks have it in abundance" - Damon Smith There is a lot in this episode specifically on the Evenks and their Shamanism aswell. Animistic peoples are...
Let me guess... You've read or heard a little bit about Animism. And there is something about what you've read that doesn't quite sit with you. For me... The concept of Animism never made sense. I have a hard time accepting anything that requires me to believe something that, on the surface, is complete nonsense. Maybe you've read that Animism is 'The belief that spirits inhabit rocks and trees etc.' Or even worse... 'the belief in a supernatural power that organizes and animates the material un...
This week we take a step back from the practical stuff and look at a few concepts rarely talked about in Shamanism. Where did Shamanism come from? Why do we have Shamanism in the first place? What does it mean to be the wild animals we once were? Shamanism and Animism were absolutely essential for survival. Without them, we would not be here. Shamanism protected the group as a whole, Animism protected us on an individual level. In this episode we explore the relationship between shamanism and ev...
The hard work! The results! After years of grafting a Shaman knows in his bones whats real, what is and what isn't. Unfortunately Gookakh doesn't come in a bottle. Its the results of the hard work. The experience a true Shaman has accumulated. Experience resulting from the feedback from nature and not himself due to his Bhatt! The vast diversity of experience he has accumulated due to his playful, experimental nature. Tor-Shil-Teen. Slowly, over the years his Gookarch has become rich and full. I...
