Introduction
The site serves two purposes.
The first is informative, outlining the history and purpose of shamanism and providing a more detailed glimpse of the shamanic practices of specific cultures.
For those new to shamanism, we recommended reading the Introduction, Core Shamanism , and Shamanism and Culture pages, before visiting the pages devoted to and individual cultures. This will give you a basic framework from which to understand and explore these cultures. Books and Resources and Internet Links will point you to other sources of information and teaching.
The second purpose of the site is keep you up-to-date with community news, events, workshops and trips. Please visit Susan's Teaching and News and Events periodically for new listings

The Far North : Inuit
"I searched in the darkness, I was silent in the great silence of the dark. This is how I became an 'anguang' through visions and dreams and meetings with flying spirits... The ancient ones, dedicated their lives to the work of keeping the world in balance, they dedicated it to great things, immeasurable, enormous things."
-- Najagneq, Inuit Shaman

Native American
When the wind blows, that is my medicine.
When it rains, that is my medicine.
When it hails, that is my medicine.
When it becomes clear after the storm, that is my medicine.
-- by Wolf Collar, Shaman & Medicine Man (1870)
