Hi all. So I've been stalking on and off for like... 2 or 2.5 years. For me it's mostly a physical process so i'm wondering if i can use something like intent or anything else to get more out of my practice. I'll just describe what stalking looks like for me personally: There are times where i just change simple things like the route I use to walk to the store. But my primary method looks something like this: Snap my finger twice, make a gesture with my hand, tap on my refrigerator door three times, tap my foot, pick up a book, read one sentence, throw it across the room... etc etc. Just odd behaviors. I know it's an important practice for me but i barely know why i'm doi…

Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all. I apologize in advance as this is probably gonna be a long post. ♥ I'm Kailah, but I also go by Chunji and Koala (by some of my friends anyway). I'm extremely new to shamanism. I'm doing extensive research and reading books to learn as I am unable to have anyone teach me. So I learned about journeying. And it sounds like such an amazing experience from what I've read and heard about. I was really excited to get started with it, and with my perfectionist self I figured I could get it on the first try. And when I didn't, I decided to keep trying. I had nothing for about five tries, and on the sixth this morning, I think I got…

Greetings and blessings to all. I am an eclectic North European tradition Heathen. I have been using shamanic techniques for about 20 years. My wife and I are Asatru, meaning true to the old gods, and are both Goddess centered pagans. I am retired after 30 years in Criminal Justice and now spend my time preparing for my transition to the Other World. Please don't take that as a negative, I don't mean "suicidal", just an awareness of the need to die with no regrets. My main spiritual practice. now, is dream work. I have had numerous contacts with the Norse and Celtic Gods and Animal Powers. I send Thor and Freyr's Blessings to you all.

I am Asatru, and a practicing Shaman for over 20 years. That does entail several NDE's, experiences which should send me to the hospital (and have) if I tell the wrong people certain things. That is because they haven't spent the time I have on the bleeding edge between this world and the Umbra (my name for it), and they don't understand. Hello all, I'm Varg, and I came here hoping find community with people who do understand what I'm talking about. I've had a particularly odd past week. And that's saying a lot for a Shaman of as long as I've practiced. I would love to talk with someone who is real, and that's why I cam here, and can understand what I'm saying. …

Hello everyone, and welcome. I am new here and I may not be a Shaman perse, but I am familiar with what is Shamanism. I find Shamanism quite wonderful, but I consider myself Universal. Meaning, that I am One with The Universe as I know many of you are. Therefore since I am One with The Universe, I have no specific title, but I find Shamans to have great wisdom. I hope that one day you all would like to share your amazing Wisdom, as I know I would share mine. Have wonderful blessings!! and hope to engage with you all soon. I send my Highest Energy Vibe to this forum and the Shamans here. Thank you!!

Hi I'm new to the forum and to shamanism about a month ago I had a strong urge towards shamanism so picked up a beginner's guide to journing by Sandra ingerman , a few podcasts n random stuff from the net anyway 1st night I tryed to find a anchor point from nature I no of nothing happened it was a cave from childhood same on second n third but the fourth night it was a fox hole I see on a walk I do n I went through eventually came out a cave exit on to a path in the woods with let to a t junction I took the right was wondering around a while then found my self stroking a stag ( my intent was to find my spirit animal) but as I realized what I was doing it kinda kicked me o…

Hello my name is trey guinn i am new to this forum. i am not a shaman but desire to become one. I have a negative entity with me that wont leave me alone and tortures me. i was thinking if i contacted a good spirit that is better and nicer than the one that is with me now, that that spirit could help me to get rid of him. but i don't know how to contact good spirits. can someone teach me? are there any good shamanic courses out there? i'm worried because the spirit that is with me told me he wont let me get into and altered state or trance state of consciousness to call on good spirits. so how do i go about calling on a good spirit to take care of this evil spirit th…

There is a spirit I feel that targets me to make me feel restless. it seems like its very strong and present near urban environment and technology etc but not when I am out in nature away from those types of electrical fields. I tend to feel at rest if I am alone out in nature somewhere. However it doesn't seem like I am ever capable of feeling restful, relaxed or have bodily peace any other time. i have a lot of medical things that make it that certain outside stimulus can trigger pain or seizures. The weird thing is that it seems I am extremely unlucky where its like there is a constant string of things that dont allow me to rest. Like for example I can go to a park and…

Hey. To start off I've had deep soul loss, which I then retrieved for myself. People in my life took my soul energy. At this point I feel like I'm giving my soul away when I'm in attempts of reclaiming it. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm scared. I feel like I'm pushing it into other people and fragments of it are in my family as Well as other people. Someone please talk to,and guide me

Ive only recapped 3 times and am seeing some rather aurprising results. Tonight will be my fourth and first nighttime (and cold lol) recap. I have a lot of negative energy coming at my family and a curse object I need to figure out what to do with. I feel a sense of urgency to do this obviously and am working on more than recapitulation although it is helping a great deal and in many ways, not the least of which is maintaining my energy. My question here is about herbs. What herbs have helped in what way for you guys. Of course I can get this information from other sources but in my experience the most legitimate work goes on here and I would value any advice. Even a sho…

Hello there May I aks some thing here? I am under 20 years old,and as some article said,I should not do recapitulation,as I didn't go thorugh much I've read a lot about spiritualism,especially the non-dual traditions,with which I agree,but only on an intelectual level.Is it possble somehow to go to a being level?(Cessation of 'I') Besides the 'outside the maker traditon' questions,can I ask some things? How exactly do you stalk yourself,and become able to have 'any personality'?I've read about it,but it seems like it's observing 'What you are responsible and what you're not responsible for',together with observing yourself.May I ask for a simpler explanation? Wh…

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, For about 3 years I have had strong suspicions (but kept putting them to the back of my head) that I have been called to Shamanic work. There's too much info for me to delve into on here on how my suspicions have built; but I have always had a strong spiritual streak in myself (I was not brought up religiously or came from any form of religious background) and I have reserached and practiced extensively in Wicca/witchcraft/Paganism/Budhhism and Taoism, I did consider Judaism one; but I beleive this was more of a fascination with the language than with the actual religion. But when I came across Shamanism by accident, it had resonated with me in a way the oth…

I am and always have been on a spiritual journey, half here half some where else. Recently, after almost losing my life and many strange events, I began to dance a dance where I spin and now I can't seem to get back to the "real" world. My journey is lonely, I'm ok with that, but I don't know how to live in today's society.

I've experienced much of my life in other spaces than the third dimension. I oscillate between whether my experiences were 'real' and of an etheric nature or were rather just in my sometimes overactive imagination. I'm noticing that much of my energy is tied up in places other than the present moment and it is affecting my memory, my ability to parent, and my overall energy levels; I know that I can't do my great work without healing myself first. I know that I need to pull myself back to me, I've sensed this for awhile now, but when I look at the basic recapitulation instructions, one must imagine the moment where their energy is stuck. Moment to me implies time and spa…

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've been traveling to other worlds meeting other beings, sometimes I have a guide sometimes I don't. I met a shaman who spoke to me in the language of the universe and he gave me something, but these things are hard to explain and people probably think I'm crazy..

Here is a more important question - much more, and one that differs from any I've asked befor. Bear with me. I have many wares I craft and sell, and have as lately looked to sites such as Etsy or Ebay to sell, but neither excpet crafts made of animals. Most of my crafts incorporate things made from animals - both disallowed from each place. I am a unique merchant in that each piece is from whatever animal from wheverver - no matter the distance needed to travel. All are made uniquely from andimal skin, bone, and/or stones, jewels, et cetera to create the exact piece of jewelry the consumer needs, but none of these mainstream sites accepts this. Some are …

Hi everyone. It’s been a long time I couldn’t share anything here. But that doesn’t mean Makerish things aren’t happening to me anymore… Conversily, these kind of things are becoming like my daily routins ( and I’m still having problem about believing them like, how they could become 😊 ) Well, last year, at Master of Intent class, I had set my intent about upgrading my car. It was spring’23 and I was planning to upgrade my car at winter’24. After heavy busyness days of summer and autumn, with the new year I would buy a newer model car. I had set my intent for my car. My old car was a 19 years old, at 159.500 kms, Opel Corsa. It had painting issues but had a…

Hi. This post is bound to meander across several subjects. So when I journey I tend to envision myself as very very small. Like, the size of my thumb. And as one would in a third person video game. That's my "avatar" so to speak. It's not as simple as that but that's the essential essence. So I'm wondering if that's common. It lends to me a feeling of being immersed in a world larger than life. Yet there's also some degree of first person viewing at points. Like... I recently was trying to visit the upper world and there was a vine hanging down and it was covered in thorns. I just sat there until more vines appeared before me. So many vines. So many choices. Not just th…

I follow the path of the Buddha and have been interested in the shamanic journey for some time. I am schizophrenic as well and possess an aversion to the sounds of drumming and rattling. I am wondering if there is another sort of instrument which I might adhere to while journeying, such as the Tibetan flute. Shaman's Market has a number of CDs which sound interesting. Thank you. Amy

I hope you forgive my enthusiasm in posting, I feel like a kid in a candy store. I was curious about the importance of left side, right side work. Does it make a difference if a person is left handed as opposed to right handed, or what if they are ambidextrous?

I haven't had any friends in 4 years. I've been feeling very lonely but its hard for me to feel connections with most people, especially since i have no worldly interests. The only spiritual person i know is my ex, but speaking with him would make my spouse uncomfortable so i would prefer not to. I need friends. I need spiritual friends who arent gonna think im crazy when i tell them about all the energies i feel, the beings i see out the corner of my eyes, the messages i receive from my spirit guides. I need someone who understands to listen and guide me as any other friend would

Hello everyone, I'm new here and I'm unsure about where my journey is going at the moment. I don't call myself a shaman, because I haven't followed a tradition of shamanism. I have heard people speak about shamanism in terms of other cultures (often ancient or tribal cultures), but that feels like I'm learning about something outside of me, when really I would like to further my understanding of what I experience... or what's in me. What draws me to shamanism is that the journeys I have experienced through my dream world over the years have shown me the way and provided healing. I also feel connected with nature, I'm not afraid to talk to the trees (if no one is …
