Shamanism is usually a practice in a practice ie Celtic Shaman, Sprit Shaman. Sometimes its a rank as well. Sort of like a High Priest. I suppose some people out there look at it as a religion. To each thier own.
I don’t think it’s a religion as much as a spiritual practice. I think Shamanism is a wonderful thing though.
Yes, I do believe that shamanism is a vital religion. It is a system of religious and medical beliefs and practices that centers on the shaman, a specific type of magico-religious practitioner…who specializes in contacting and controlling the supernatural.
