Where Carl Jung and Shamanism Converge
Image from efigment on Flickr This is a 15 page academic paper (PDF here) that goes into great detail around shamanism, the psyche, the soul, and Carl Jung's view of it all. It concludes with this: In spite of our current collective cultural crisis, Jung inferred that the loss of instinct, the loss of soul, which is the root of our pathology, can be restored through reconnection with the sacred aspects of the natural and imaginal worlds. Darkness is an aspect of nature. The hive is being dismembered through the loss of the bees, it behooves us to understand that dismemberment is the first act of initiation.
Sacred Wheel Teachings and Self-Development Techniques by Swiftdeer
Sacred Wheel Teachings and Self-Development Techniques by Harley Swiftdeer Reagan 1986 Copyright Deer Tribe Metis-Medicine Society word format This way is an all-consuming, all-illuminating lifelong commitment that will tolerate NO illusions. As this Warrior Task Assignment journey begins, we must approach it as we would a pilgrimage to a Holy Shrine. By embracing the Warrior's Path we will find our way home! Swiftdeer The Deer Tribe Metis-Medicine Society, through the auspices of the Shamanic Lodge of Ceremonial Medicine; has chosen a select set of Sacred Wheel Teachings and Self-Development Techniques from the vast amount of knowledge found in the Inter-Tribal, Native-American Traditions. In our people's language, the hair symbolized knowledge and, therefore, a "Twisted Hair" was one who wove knowledge from all sources into their Path with Heart and made it their knowledge. Historically, part of following the Warrior's Path Involves setting out on the "Warrior's Errantry" Vision Quest.

About 3Worlds - The Shamanism Website
All of the items in this gallery are special, most of them are one-off pieces and have stories to tell you. All of them are as they are described or a full refund will be given. This is a gallery for those who are passionate about their Shamanism or Buddhism, and who feel the need to use fine quality sacred objects in their practice. The objects are from my ever changing collection, and are generally untouched, I do not often clean or do any repair work on them except for in extreme cases. The ages shown in the descriptions of the objects are approx, but as accurate as possible. This website is managed by Nicholas Breeze Wood. I've had a fascination about shamanic and magical objects since I was a small child, and have studied them actively for the past 25 years, focusing especially on those used by the Plains peoples of North America, and the Shamanic and Buddhist ritual objects of the Tibetans, Mongolians, Buryats and other peoples of Central Asia and Southern Siberia.

Drifting in and out of shadows like a vaprous mist of focused intenstity, your emerald eyes penetrating the darkness . . . unflinchingly. Vines now weave and constrict the crumbling stones of sacred pyramids, metaphors for the tangled jungle of the human mind, whose life has been misspent in the shattering darkness of ill intent. In what echoing halls of the Dreamtime do you still walk, vigilant observer for ~He who came from the stars? Guide us, graceful spirit, to a new day when war is no longer a part of our "human"way.

Spirit Walk Ministry - *caveat lector *(Latin) “let the reader beware” “A word to the wise is infuriating.”~ Hunter S. Thompson ~
"A religion that comes of thought and study and deliberate conviction, sticks best." ~ Mark Twain ~ Often these things are not beyond your ability to understand. There are phenomena in the universe that while appearing to be supernatural are really quite natural, only we do not yet have the capacity to understand the natural laws through which they operate. Indeed, the study of quantum physics would seem to be implying that the entire universe is held together by some sort of consciousness, operating within incredible laws of nature that we cannot as yet comprehend. The key to even beginning to comprehend these mysteries is “an awakening”, to a journey of discovery undertaken with no bias and no preconceived notion of where you are going, nor what you will experience on that journey. "A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving." ~ Lao Tzu ~ There are not just a few ideas that you need to question to be fully awake and aware ... ...you need to question everything!
Review: The Fall by Steve Taylor
The Fall, by Steve Taylor (O Books, £12.99) It really has to be said that people - men, mostly - are appalling, in that they commit murder and genital mutilation, go to war, rape, pillage, despoil their environments, hang, burn, flog or flay others who offend them and so on, and so on, ad nauseam. You or I may not commit such atrocities, because we are Guardian readers and we just don't do that kind of thing, but the bad news is that there are plenty of non-Guardian readers who are happy to pick up the slack for us. The question is, why should this be so? Then, round about 4,000BC, things started changing: cultures were invaded, cruel monotheistic religions incorporated, matristic societies turned into patristic ones, and concepts of property introduced - and even, with slavery, the notion that people could be property as well. Which is just as well, for there are times when this book seems about to go off the rails. Well then.
