My stream of Judaism addresses shamanic interventions to make the world a better place. Here is a website that is reliable: http://home.earthlink.net/~ecorebbe/id15.html
What one might draw from that website is to find a teacher — if you want the earth religion/First Nation American version (which is very compatible with Judaism in many ways in not being pantheistic but monistic – One G-d much like Buddhism) the best thing to do is to pray really hard to find a teacher, and make yourself available. Your inner self will find one.
As far as levels go, the Earth and all planetary bodies, stars, etc. in mystical Judaism are said to all have souls. They aren’t demigods to play around with — a good way to get into big big trouble. They are like conduits of energy. A big booby trap is to believe mystical magical things in the lower realms (but higher than our base perceptions) are G-d. Since you have a Buddhist foundation, you may not have to go there.
Shamanism is healing populations and places, which is the next level after one has done work on oneself.
I hesitate to mention this to you, because I know it’s not exactly what you’re asking for, but your question keeps popping up and I thought better say something.
Wishing you all the best in your spiritual journey.
