“I cured with the power that came through me. Of course, it was not I who cured, it was the power from the Outer World, the visions and the ceremonies had only made me like a hole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds.”
Black Elk
“If I thought I was doing it myself, the hole would have closed up and no power could come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish.”
Black Elk
Shamanism is a range of traditional beliefs and practices that involve the ability to diagnose, cure, and sometimes cause suffering because of a special relationship with, or control over, spirits. Shamanism is based on the premise that the visible world is pervaded by invisible forces or spirits that affect the lives of the living. Shamans are priests in shamanic religions to control and direct the supernatural forces. The term medicine also refers to the magical potential of the shaman, object or ceremony which is used for these purposes. A Shaman is someone who has skills at manipulating supernatural forces and uses these skills to cure sickness, drive away evil spirits, and regulate the weather.
