I was interested if the makers have any feedback or insight into animal totems in their tradition.? I always felt a special connection to bats since I was very young . Thank you

Hello beautiful souls... So I have written two long posts and deleted them... I have never posted on a forum before and I think I didn't realize I had so much inside I was holding onto.. I suppose that was a good release either way lol... Thank you for having a community like this for those of us struggling on our path.. I am here because I am really hoping for some advice. If asked I can tell you more about me, but basically I have been going through a spiritual awakening for over 5 years, the dark part of it weaving in and out and back again.. I have been single, by stubbornness and choice, moving every few months to another country or state so that I …

i know im a shaman for a few reasons i would like to hear others stories and i am hoping an experienced shaman can give me some guidence, so i can make the next step and so i can be ready for what happens next and make the right choices when the creator gives the next sign, the next test, and when the ancestors visit me again. i hope they do, those entities are so cool, and they help me with my creations. i want to share my story but id like to chat with a experienced shaman first for guidence, thank you

Hello everyone! What would be your advice on recapping psychotic episodes? I always knew what they were back when I had them and could separate them from physical reality; they were vision-like I guess is the best way to describe them. So even though I'm pretty sure this will trigger them again, that doesn't worry me much; they weren't a threat to my or anyone elses physical safety. I haven't had them in years and I don't particularly want to return to listening to endless screaming choruses of disembodied suffering voices echoing through the great shadowy voids when all I'm trying to do is sleep, but I have a feeling I dropped the nightmarish stuff at the cost of a …

Hi all, I have done a little research about shamanism, sought advice from a friend who is initiating as a shaman, and have also took part in a shamanic session. I’m looking for a few more opinions on some of my own experiences and would be grateful for any insight. I’ve come across the idea of shamanic illness or sickness, and can’t help but wonder if it applies to myself - my physical and mental health have suffered quite a bit but I’ve been unable to find any relief via conventional or homeopathic means. Acute anxiety, depression and insomnia have been present for twelve years, and I’ve been so diligent in seeking treatment and keeping up routines, following all ad…

Hello , I am going through a major depressive episode . I have tried recapping and feel stuck , like my recapping is not working ? idk . I am aware of all the energy and shifts taking place in the earth . Any suggestions / help greatly appreciated . Thank you .

Hi, I am wondering if any changes occur with sleep as you advance in your Shamanic practices. For instance, did frequently practicing Shamanic journeying or other altered states of consciousness (including lucid dreaming) make you more/less wakeful throughout the day? Did it increase/decrease the amount of hours you slept each night? If so, were you practicing other techniques alongside it such as meditation? And finally, how long did it take to experience these effects and what is your Shamanism routine? Thanks in advance! Brandon

what is an actual energy debt ? how do we remove them ? thank you

So recently I tried cleansing a soul fragment of mine by sending it to the galactic core for some clearing, but afterwards my left body started to feel a little empty and dissociative after asking my Higher Self to bring back the “piece”. I read online that the galactic core destroys souls, although im not sure if that counts souls embodying physical bodies. Is it gone forever? My other theory is that it could have been stolen by a negative entity? If that’s the case, are they easy to retrieve back?

I got a simple cold last week. While I was lying in bed I had this inner voice (as if talking to myself) ask in the voice of someone I care about if she could come in. I "said" yes first and then continued with "if you are really that person". But that second part seems to have been ignored. Since then I have this daydream like picture/vision of a black/dark dragon like being inside my thoughts. Most of the time it is just it's eye looking at me. Sometimes when I open my mouth it feels like it's also opening its mouth. As if I'm the dragon or becoming it. It's not a very accurate description but I'm not sure how to describe it, it's a really strange feeling. It's a bit di…

i tried it before, but for some reason i was never lucid, it was just way harder for me to find sleep and i had dreams about different languages. any suggestions?

Hi, I wonder if anyone might be able to help. I went on a camping holiday to a remote beach about three years ago and decided to ‘Bear Grylls’ it and forage for my food and take a deck of Thoth tarot as I find it useful for meditating upon and accessing my subconscious mind. The beach is in Sussex and is three miles walk along the beach under the cliffs to get to when the tide is out. It’s remote, it’s picturesque and it’s incredibly beautiful. It’s also very magical. Ancient forest is on top of the cliffs and has come down as the cliffs have collapsed over the years, resulting in tiered woodland with natural springs feeding woodland pools and waterfalls which …

Do we unknowingly agree to others intent and if we do how do disengage our energy from being affected or inflicted by anthers intent ? thanks

I've read some time ago on this forum, one of our nice teacher telling that when you're travelling geographically you're actually time travelling. Recently I've had to travel a lot by train doing approximately 75 miles in one hour and what I've felt I when I reached the destination, is that i travelled through time. It's something that puzzled me because logically i only changed my physical position and the two places are on the same time zone. And when I arrived to town B I really had the feeling I was in an other time than I was in town A just one hour ago. Einstein and his theory that if you travel at the speed of light you will age less rapidly, it's weird …

Thanks does chat work /;

hello . how do i see new class schedule and sign up . thank you

Hi everyone. I think that a loved one who has passed away has become one of my spirit guides. I believe he has tried to contact me on a psychic level, but my grief is getting in my way. Is anyone here able to do spirit guide readings? I wish I could confirm that I am seeing, hearing, and otherwise perceiving him correctly, but I just can't be sure without some type of external confirmation. If anyone receives a message or sign they could relay, I would gladly receive it with all due consideration - you may be helping more than you know. Thank you very much.

Hello there, I'm new to this site and not quite sure what I'm doing. Anyhow, I'm currently studying Shamanism at open alternative college. I'm on lesson three in my course and I've a few questions I wanted to ask from someone who is knowledgeable in Shamanism. So lesson three talks about Shamans communicating with spirits and may even marry an entity from others planes. I've never heard this concept before, I found it strange and wanted to no more about it? So please feel free to open my eyes to understanding this better. Also the tripartite unity (Upper, Lower and earth planes) need to be connected in order for a shaman to travel... please can someone explain more a…

Hi, first of all I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking this or inappropriate to ask. I’m transgender and currently going through a lot in my life at the moment, I dropped out of school awhile ago, don’t have a job, and was wondering if someone could help me in any way. There’s more than just being trans that I’d like help with, but I don’t want to publicly say it all in this post. I know this sounds stupid, but is there any spirit, angel or entity of some form etc. that can help grant wishes? Or change appearance or aspects of my life externally? Or just that can help me be happier? I’ve heard of Jinn and Faeries, but I don’t fully know how it works. Would any…

Greetings, my fellow seekers of truth and meaning. Forgive me, this is a long introduction. I'm new here.. obviously. I am not new to energies and visions. I am only just now coming to understand them. I met a very knowledgeable one in the a.m. hours of March 9th on Omegle who directed me here as well as offered other great and useful tidbits of experience. If you are out there... this stranger thanks you. I am 37 years of this manifestation of awareness. I've always had a deep connection of the earth and natural things of it. I am drawn to obsidian rather strongly. Only recently did I give into this and acquire a few pieces and start practicing in the art of he…

I had tried salvia twice but I wasn't spiritual at all at the time. I didn't even believe in God or souls. As soon as i breathed out the smoke, my vision went black. I don't remember much other than having no vision and hearing someone talk to me. I know now it was my spirit guide. Now that I am somewhat awakened, i want to try it again but i am also interested in hearing others' experiences with salvia

I am 53 and have never had any type of visions until recently. The first one was a couple of months ago. It was a pyramid with water flowing under it. The next one came a bout two weeks later. It was just a bunch of squiggly lines moving all over the place. The to my left, a very large eye opened out of nowhere. It looked around at the lines and then at me. It then closed as suddenly as it opened. Since then I have had several of the same one. It is a bunch of weird writing like hieroglyphics that are wiggling and changing. All of the visions are the same in the sense that they all look like they have been drawn crudely like by a child. And they all start the same. They a…

I will begin by explaining my primary struggle: Sometimes (about once a week on average) I am overwhelmed by a solipsistic waking nightmare in which i am the only conscious entity and all the suffering in the world is my fault. It happens mostly in public places but sometimes it strikes at home. When i am hit with it I feel evil and pathetic. In it I am being given a choice. Accept the "knowing" that I am evil and punish myself or opt out of remembering my own lowliness and inherit a greater punishment. The idea behind it is that by sustaining my existence i am sustaining the horrors of this world. As an American i am dependent upon fossil fuels and plastic packaging…

Hi, This is my 1st post in this forum, i have been following this site for sometimes and trying to do some self practice also. Yesterday i tried to see the shadow world as mentioned in this link (https://www.shamanscave.com/practices/working-with-shadows). I have tried it into my room at night. I have created shadow and tried to make intention to see the shadow world. after 2 hours (around) of practice i didn't feel any presence or not even can't see any thing. its not like i don't believe in shadow world or in the process. Now i'm seeking your suggestions. Please help to advise me if i did something wrong or if there anything i must do to work with shadow world. …

Hey guys, I am captivated with Spirit Animals and have become professional at assisting people find there own. I just discovered one of my spirit guides, a snake has two heads, I have searched the internet far and wide to find little information on this and can not find much. I am after some detailed information about what this means, so I can better understand myself. Also, on spirit Animals, is there any information you guys have for me on this topic? Any interesting facts to share?
