      In memory of Elisapie

      I will respect the privacy of my clients, for their problems are not disclosed to me that the world may know. Most especially must I tread with care in matters of life and death. Above all, I must not play at God.

      From a modern version of the Hippocratic Oath

      PREFACE

      The intent of this book is not to make you a healing practitioner, but rather, to provide you fundamental information that will help you better understand what it is that a shaman does. I feel this becomes especially important in today’s setting with the increase in the number of persons claiming to be shamans, shamanic practitioners, and shamanic weavers. Second, I feel there are things that one may do to help heal him or herself. These should not be kept secret.

      My advice, as always, is to communicate your intent to try a complimentary or supportive healing approach with your medical doctor. Real integrative medicine is in a watershed moment.

      If herbs and herbals are suggested for your use, make sure you have no allergies that might be negatively impacted by such medicinal herbal treatment. Know your blood pressure because some suggested shamanic treatments might be an impediment. The herbs I have suggested are quite common, but still, prudence is the best policy to follow.

      DISCLAIMER

      I do not guarantee that any of the suggestions presented in this book will work, cure any physical or psychological issues, or enhance anyone’s living conditions. Each person must make that choice for her or himself.

      Age has no reality except in the physical world. The essence of a human being is resistant to the passage of time. Our inner lives are eternal, which is to say that our spirits remain as

      as when we were in full bloom. Think of love as a state of grace, not the means to anything but the alpha and omega. An end in itself.

      Gabriel Garcia Marques

      Conclusion

      I - ORIGINS

      What is the origin of the word shaman (pronounced SHAY-man or SHA-man)? There is some disagreement over the actual origin of the word. Some scholars claim the word shamanism is so indiscriminately used, it no longer has meaning. And there are those who claim a complete definition is impossible. Two Dutch diplomats who accompanied Peter the Great's emissaries to China during the late Seventeenth Century are credited with first using the term, shaman.

      In 1875, the Encyclopedia Britannica published an article by A.H. Sayee, which used the word shaman. Opinion indicates the word is of Tungas origin. More specifically, it appears that the term came from the Manchu-tangu dialect of Siberia, from where we derive our most common usage.

      However, even this is not without challenge. Some ethnolinguists claim the word derives from the Chinese scha-man, while others claim it's from the Pali schamana, a term used for a Buddhist monk. There does appear to be common agreement that the word shaman came into modern language from the Sanskrit, sramana.

      The word shamanism, which has been around since the 1600s has now become a universally recognized term in Western Culture and refers to a man or woman who fills several roles within the culture. Specifically, two aspects of shamanism have gained popularity: physical and psychological healing. [1]

      Because the word shaman has become a part of our popular vocabulary and is understood to be someone who is a healer, I choose to use it. However, it needs to be said that not all Native Americans like the term. It is not a part of the languages of the many Native American tribes. My use of the word shaman is not intended to be an insult.

      In my book Shamanism What It’s All About I briefly talk about my initiation and in my novels, I reveal more of those details. Even though I have been hesitant to claim I am a shaman I suppose now that I am nearing my senior years
