shamanic paths

[Chodbaxofyw]

I've been researching shamans lately and would love to hear some stories, just for a break from the research articles.
For those of you who walk a shamanic path or know someone who is, how did you get on this path? How did you train, and what are you working on these days?
And do you recommend any materials on walking shamanic paths?

I’d be more interested in hearing people’s actual stories ---how they got into it, what their training was like, and the experiences or coincidences they’ve had along the way.
That stuff is way more interesting to me than just reading another book about it

Hello, I’m from Brazil, where we have a very strong Shamanic heritage. It is also known as Pajelança or the Caboclo tradition, which are Indigenous American practices, such as those of the Tupi-Guarani and many other Indigenous peoples.

Here, we have some very interesting traditions resulting from the mixing of Indigenous practices, Catholic practices, and, in a certain way, the traditions of rural Brazil.

Here, you can look up Catimbó.

We also have traditions that are more Shamanic in nature, such as the use of beverages from Indigenous traditions, ritual use of the pipe, herbs, stones and healing practices, totems, and magical amulets.

Here, Shamanic worship manifests itself through the veneration of Indigenous peoples, with offerings of fruits, beverages, tobacco, and the use of the maracá, which is an instrument for the manifestation of power, together with the pipe.

We also have a great diversity of spirits, such as the spirits of Caboclos, Pajés, and Shamans, with names such as Coral Snake, White Feather, and Black Stone. There are also female Cabocla spirits, such as Jandira, Indaiá, Jurema, and others.

Another interesting aspect is the Encantados of the forests, the power animals, with each spirit generally associated with some power animal or totem. They can also be associated with places and elements of nature, including trees.

Indeed, the stories of the Shamanic tradition are incredible and mysterious.
