In the West, shamanism has become an umbrella term, created by anthropologists to describe a modality of healing that is prevalent in Indigenous populations around the world.

The ancient cultures of the UK had their own “shamanic” traditions; however, they are less developed because of what is commonly known as the ‘witch trials’: a genocide of people who carried the oral healing traditions of Europe that occurred between the 15th and 18th centuries.

Thankfully, these healing traditions are slowly being restored with the support of Indigenous people from around the world whose traditions are more intact.  These ancient healing traditions have withstood the test of time and can be highly effective in addressing issues that have been created in modernity society.

A shamanic worldview is based on animistic principles: animism is the belief that consciousness runs through everything, plants, rocks, even man-made objects and the understanding that everything has a spiritual essence.

Western cultures are making a return to animist ways of seeing the world as recent theories of consciousness and quantum mechanics suggest that these ways of seeing the world could be more accurate than the age of enlightenment would have had us believe.
