"Wait, what if pokemon... Is just 'shamanism' flattened into a pop culture product?" - This thought actually ocurred to me during an ayahuasca trip in the amazon jungle.
It felt like there was a caboclo, a dead indigenous spirit, talking to me. (I kid you not). "This is what this is all about: sharing gifts. Making friends with all different kinds of being. Helping each other!"

ANT 335 : 'Psychedelics, Shamanism and Plant Intelligence' meets Chapel of Sacred Mirrors… via @TootTropiques #psychedelics #shamanism #anthroplogy https://anthropology.princeton.edu/news/ant-335-visits-chapel-sacred-mirrors
A ceramic figure from the Tumaco-La Tolita culture (700 BCE- 350 CE). This civilisation spanned the coastal areas of present-day Colombia and Ecuador. It has all the defining features of a shaman: the geometric patterns across the base and the chest, the ceremonial posture, and the erect penis (?). The facial expression may also indicate an altered state of consciousness. The geometric patterns suggest adornment specific to ceremonial function in these ancient Pacific coastal communities.

The Stories of our Ancestors: Animism and Animation in a more than Human World - a talk in Venice
This is a talk by Tara Douglas as part of the recent conference, "Animal Studies and Ecocriticism in India" hosted by Department of Asian and North African Studies, Ca' Foscari University of Venice.
In the talk, I bring together some tribal stories from India, as well as the new location, Venice.
On the reading list tonight:
John Kennedy Toole, Carl Gustav Jung, Brendan Behan, and a comparative analysis of Shamanism and Celticism
Hans Busstra interviews theoretical physicist and #complexity scientist #JamesGlattfelder on his new book: “The #SapientCosmos: What a modern-day synthesis of science and philosophy teaches us about the emergence of information, consciousness, and meaning”, published by #EssentiaFoundation.
Can a #newscience bridge the gap between the noumena and the phenomena, the 1st person and the 3rd person perspective? A bit more provocatively: what is the relationship between #physics, #psychedelic experiences and #shamanism? #Glattfelder makes a plea for syncretic idealism: a worldview that synthesises ancient idealist texts and mystical experiences with physics, complexity science and analytic idealism.
#SyncreticIdealism could lead to a #ScientificSpirituality, a form of #empiricalmysticism that acknowledges a purposeful universe, wanting to know itself through ever increasing complexity."
Our #cat has three modes: sleeping, eating, and looking at me until I give her food.
If any of that annoys you, then look to the #MirrorPrinciple and ask yourself what the cat has in abundance and which you lack. Self-esteem? Love of self? Full enough of love to give generously? Too little I-don't- give-a-eff?
Get the first novella in the world of Paradigm Lost now! The Second Book of Knight Shamans is available already and the third is well on the way!
"Rowe looks like one of the shamans he writes about," said the 4 out-of-5 Stars San Francisco Book Review.
"Rowe's scenario is realistic with a plot that hints at the fantastical. Using real places that exist in today's maps adds to the realism."

Enter the world of Paradigm Lost. This is where a group of people decided to set up their own community in a rural area away from prying eyes so they could build new societal rules that are based on supporting the human condition and not exploiting the masses.
They get legal standing and form the Elk Creek Tribe in southern Oregon. They're just getting themselves situated when the great quakes of the Cascadia Subduction Zone destroy the majority of communities in the west of America.
Then the Trump Heir disowns them. "If they had supported my rule," he said on air, "I could have found some way to help them. But, there's just no sense sending resources to a rebellious region. Thoughts and prayers to those godless folk. Thoughts and prayers."
Probably should add some links and such just in case someone comes along who may be interested in my work.

In 2040, the Cascadia Subduction Zone erupts. The first thing that happens once the extent of the damage is assessed is that the Trump Heir abandons the west to their own devices. "If they didn't resist my rule so much," he said, "I'm sure we could find some way to help them out. But, now, thoughts and prayers to those godless souls. Thoughts and prayers."
The Elk Creek Tribe has set up their community in southern Oregon. They've been causing some concerns with their belief structure, but mostly staying out of folks' hair. They spent a lot of effort to become self-sustaining, though. And that makes them a target for the masses who will simply take what they want.
Rodney Knight sees dead people. When his village starts getting attacked by lawless survivors, he uses his skill to help his tribe survive.
When he becomes the most important asset the tribe has in self defense, he becomes their Knight Shaman.
'Psychedelic Information Theory: Shamanism in the Age of Reason' is an examination of the nonlinear dynamics of hallucination and altered states of consciousness. By deconstructing the systems of human perception and memory, 'Psychedelic Information Theory' quantifies the limits of psychedelic perception and describes the methods by which psychedelics alter consciousness, create new information, and affect human culture. By presenting these methods in physical terms 'Psychedelic Information Theory' offers a rational and objective model for shamanic transformation and psychedelic therapy in modern clinical practice.
Adana Omágua Kambeba fought to become one of the country’s first Indigenous woman doctors. Now she wants to bring the worlds of traditional and western medicine closer – and help Amazonian communities in the process
The standard duration of the medical course was six years, but she decided to respect her personal rhythm. “The medical course leaves no time for sleep, leisure or to live one’s own humanity. This goes against what we learn with nature, which is to respect our limits,” she says.
My coven gathers outdoors with the full moon. There's something about practicing witchcraft in the open air that can't be beat. So despite the cold, we went into the woods, near a lake and practiced our scrying. Have you ever tried scrying, or are you interested in how to do it? Read on...
Scrying is a form of divination in which the practitioner uses a medium to see images. It has been practiced across time, by peoples from all over the world.
What is the nature of the things you see? There's no definitive answer to that. Some will say you see things from past/present/future, others will say that it gives you a glimpse into your subconscious, some see it as a way to commune with deities.
How to do it?
There's many different methods and techniques, so what works for me might not work for you. We started with a meditation to open up. It helps to still your mind and to consciously go into an altered state where you are receptive to signs and signals.
We worked with a moonlit lake and the starry sky.
Fix your gaze on one point, and relax. Let thoughts slip from your mind and gaze at one spot. Things may start to appear in your peripheral vision, but you shouldn't try to look at them directly (because usually they will disappear as soon as you try to chase them).
Try not to immediately interpret what you see, but keep your mind quiet. Interpretation comes later.
It might take some experimentation and practice, like many things it becomes easier as you do it more often.
After you finish scrying, you don't want to leave yourself this open. So cleanse, close and protect yourself. Never forget to say a word of thanks to the place and the medium that you used.
