When the #shamans emerge from the #Parvati #temple, they’re escorted to the large leopard statues flanking the entrance. Attendants hand them flaming flowers or leaves which they take into their mouths, quashing the flame. They toss the smoldering leaf into the crowd. Whoever catches it can ask a question.

120 years ago they talked about progress, the industrial revolution, and #shamans and #medicineman were ignored.

I just... I thought about this so much. I just wish my #trekkie & #doctorwho crowd here would know this, that I knew whether the #mushrooms were right when they told me 20 years ago I am shamanistically talented. I just wish I could diss some #shamans, those who want 2,99 from you per minute.

I wish.. I could find people who understand this.

I wish we could just fucking find a consense already that priority one is to reduce #pain, abolish torture.

#IWISH... to tell all these things I cant.

I’ve been a #zen #buddhist as my main spiritual practice for over 15 years now, but I’m always struck by the very strong streak of #animism that runs through #buddhism from right after the Buddha’s awakening. This connection to nature is something I’ve always felt so strongly since I was a child… So where are all the #shamans hiding on mastodon? And who will #TouchTheEarth with me? :) #shamanism

Similar to what happens in our dreams.

Some shamans believe when you drink ayahuasca you are literally drinking a cup of yourself and it is acting as a mirror.

Participants can see life passing by, all of their desires, grudges, attachments, fears, and joys.#shamans #ayahuasca
