Title: List of Authentic Shamans etc.
Post by: moon on October 27, 2008, 12:31:16 am
Hello, do you have a list of Authentic Shamans?  And is there any way to actually find an authentic shaman who does actual soul retrevial of a persons immortal soul? If a soul has been trapped will a journeying Shaman be able to locate that soul?

Moon, you either haven't been reading people's responses or you are trolling.

This is not a "shamanism" site. Re-read the main page. You've already been gently warned that the Internet is not the place to find someone to help you with the type of problems you are describing. As you persist in asking for "shamanic" referral anyway, and not answering the questions that might lead people to be able to help you, I tend to think you're here to troll.

Would such a list even exist?  I don't think so.  They are commerical, most not licensed, and I don't think they register with the Better Business Bureau.

I have no idea what trolling is and I have been warned of nothing. The way in which you reply to my posts would suggest to me that you may be aware of who I am and what has been done to me. And my understanding of this site is that it was to help people weed out the frauds. (new age frauds and plastic shamans) WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?

If you read the purpose of the group, it is to warn people about exploitation of NDN culture and ceremonies by non-NDNs and Nuagers claiming Ndn hertiage.   Psychics are busted all the time by people who take them to their law.  It's like when they busted all the Psychic Hotlines, as they were nothing more than people reading from a script as part-time work.   There is no telling what you are getting when you deal with people practicing things out of their culture.  If you are having some problems, Katheryn gave you some advise. Basic rule to follow is to know who you are dealing with.  Medicine people I know are not commerical, they do not advertize, don't have to, you know who they are.

Moon,with due respect,i do not "know" who you are or "what" was done to you,other than you state in another thread that you've got demons.To be honest that would be a pagan/wiccan or christian belief system and not something the Indian peoples can or could help you with.Our Elders and spiritual leaders do not go away to some "spiritual education facility" where the qualified are placed on some list.Our culturaly diverse and distinct Nations and Bands,KNOW which elders and spiritual leaders represent thier specific communities,they are not on some list nor advertised under "services".The fact is you went to a fake who played with "indian spirituality"A service they were not qualified to offer and now you tell us you have demons.You are now asking for some none existant list....Do you honestly believe the Indian Nations can or should help with a matter that is not even part of thier cultures? you need a priest not an indian honey!

The "demons" thing is mostly Christian, and Christian-influenced Western Ceremonial Magic. I guess some Pagans and Wiccans conceptualize it that way, but often from Christian influence. I think many Pagans and Wiccans go too far to the other extreme, and believe in a sort of Nuage way that all spirits are good and there's nothing bad out there if you don't believe there is.

I would also gently add that mental health services might be called for. Moon, you're exhibiting signs of paranoia, which is a psychiatric condition. It can be healed, or at least managed. I'm not saying this to hurt you, nor am I assuming that's the only thing going on here. But sometimes brain chemistry can be part of the problem. It would be good to rule that out before assuming strangers are sending demons at you.

Maybe stroll on over to Siberia and ask around (be sure and take an interpreter along). Best luck, moon, and please let us know when you get your soul back!

The original poster probably won't get this. But this info might be useful for other people.

The most accessible shaman culture, in my view, is Korea. Most older Korean people know about mudang (Korean shamans) and know people who visit mudang. If you have close Korean friends, they might be able to help you find a mudang.  Some mudang advertise on the internet. All mudang work for money. However, I don't think mudang usually do journeys for soul retrievals, although they probably know rituals for calling back souls and related purposes.

Actually, many shaman cultures are not big on journeying, although they generally have rituals for calling back souls. If you have Thai friends or Cambodian friends, they might be able to help you find a traditional healer. If you have Chinese friends, they might be able to find you a Daoist priest. Daoist priests have rituals for calling back souls. Even if you don't have Chinese friends, you can go to temples in Chinatown. If they have mediums in the temple, they might be able to help you.

As with Korean shamans, spiritual workers in Asian countries generally work for money. Some advertise. It's important to be discerning. As with all occupations, some spiritual workers are good, and others are bad. You can also look up Daoist websites on the internet and inquire through email.

The original post did not mention demons. However, the replies indicate that demons are a problem. You don't have to find a shaman to exorcise demons. Most Asian cultures have exorcists. Again, I recommend Daoist priests. You can also contact your local Fengshui practitioner, because authentic Chinese Fengshui practitioners often have connections with Daoist spiritual workers. Tibetan Buddhist teachers generally also know about exorcism or about people who know about exorcism.

I mentioned mainly Asian practitioners, because other traditions are beyond my field of knowledge. Maybe other people have stuff to add?

It's important also to know that almost everyone is missing soul pieces. It is possible to live a fulfilling life even while missing certain soul pieces. Therefore, people who feel that they absolutely need a soul retrieval should first relax. Take a deep breath. When you search for a spiritual practitioner, take your time. Conduct the search systematically and be discerning.

How about going to a hypnotherapist? Then they can put you into trance and help you find your missing parts and if the therapist is good they will have you deal with what ever caused you to loose that part of your self in the first place.  Hypnotherapy is very powerful and effective a few sessions with  someone who knows how to work and youll deal with it and move on..

Regarding them pesky demons, I personally recommend about 50 garlic bulbs threaded on common twine hung around the neck, saves air fare to Korea, a fact that is difficult to ignore in there perilous times...........

i'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the answer is no..... no, will not find an "authentic shaman" on the internet.

It's also extremely easy to implant false memories by mistake or deliberately.

That's pretty funny. Airfare is not that expensive these days, though.

In all seriousness, the poster asked a very specific question about his spiritual dilemma. Therefore, a relevant answer should be provided. Whether other people believe in demons and souls is irrelevant.

As people go through life, they face various spiritual problems. Sometimes, they can overcome these problems through simple means, such as prayer. At other times, they cannot overcome these problems by themselves. Therefore, they call in spiritual practitioners. Most people cannot devote a lot of time and energy to study spiritual things. Spiritual practitioners make it their profession to study spiritual things. This is why they can resolve problems which most people cannot resolve on their own. In this sense, a spiritual practitioner is no different from a plumber, a doctor or an engineer.

The shaman's most basic job is to mediate between the human world and the spirit world. Sometimes, this involves exorcism. Therefore, if the original poster feels that he cannot resolve his spiritual problems on his own, he should definitely find a spiritual practitioner who can.

Prior to starting this thread, the original poster started this one: http://newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=1968 Despite the fact that this is not what this forum is for, advice was offered, but s/he either didn't like what we had to say, or was purposely trolling to cause disruption. It was hard to tell. I wanted to be helpful, but I also suspected the poster's main purpose was disruption and wasting our time.

Most of our advice boiled down to the fact that legitimate people don't advertise on the Internet, and the services she needed also depended on her culture and religion. Spiritual dilemmas, and the cures for them, are not one size fits all, and what works for someone of one culture may well harm someone from another background. One of the purposes of this forum is for people to understand that there is a massive amount of variation among spiritual/cultural traditions. S/he seemed unwilling or unable to understand or accept that.

Ah, I didn't read that original post. Having read it now, my impression is that the OP genuinely believes that someone harmed him/her spiritually. The original post was quite confusing. I don't really know what's troubling him/her.

Not that it really matters now, since he/she is unlikely to read it. My best guess is that the OP has little contact with genuine spiritual practitioners. Therefore, he/she was very desperate for help. Too bad, I guess, lol.

I tried to be kind about it, but s/he reminded me very much of people I've dealt with who have genuine psychiatric problems. They may have spiritual issues going on as well, but often they need meds to enable them to calm down and focus enough to even communicate what is going on with them. We asked repeatedly for more specifics that may have actually enabled some of us to refer her to someone, and s/he refused to answer those questions and instead thought we wanted to harm her. There's only so much you can do for people who are acting that way.

Devil, don't be pointing spewing your new-age advice here or directing newagers to Asian traditions. They will come and try to mess with Mu-ism, Daoism etc.

In fact, it has already begun. I saw a book by Mantak Chia, called 'Daoist Shaman'. There are a group of Chinese pseudo-Daoists teaching workshops how to be a 'Shaman', mixing the 'medicine wheel' teachings of some fake lakota named 'Wa-nee-chee-ne' or something like that, with wiccan crap, mixed with the Asian astrology Zodiac. The whole concept of it, is that the 'lakota medicine wheel tradition' is so similar to the Asian 'medicine wheel', that it's all the same. I think I saw one chapter even started out saying that sweatlodges are universal.

Now with devils like you coming here to point newagers to Daoism, it will get worse. If you do not study, live, practice the Dao, then you are just a blind newager if you go to a Daoist for a serious spiritual issue. Many Chinese Daoist lineages for example, are deeply entrenched in Patriarchal power-structures (despite honoring Gwanyin), and have been known to be very abusive to women. Some also are deeply dogmatic, because of too much Buddhistic thinking. So finding a good Dao teacher or practicitioner is just as tricky as finding a good 'shaman'.

So don't be coming to a forum of this nature pointing the newagers to consult Daoists for there wierd psychological problems, and telling them to inquire through Daoist websites in their search. The Dao organizations with websites, many of these are the ones run by figures who are doing some very exploitive and bad things. And true Dao masters, often do not even advertise whatsoever, and actually prefer to live pretty quiet lives.

It's important also to know that almost everyone is missing soul pieces. It is possible to live a fulfilling life even while missing certain soul pieces. Therefore, people who feel that they absolutely need a soul retrieval should first relax.


 ::) Foolish Devil, as far as I know a forum for stopping newage frauds is not the place for this sort of preach. What system are you selling? Because you really should explain where you are coming from if you bring this kind of preach, that everyone soul is fractured into a pieces that they are missing. Maybe you are a new age shaman yourself? Or an anthropologist?

The word Shaman is misinterpreted, even the wannabe's argue like they know it all on facebook Shamanic sites. I joined observed and thought Over 10,000,00 Shamans on this one group, Yeah right!!! "LOL"  :D Anyway! True and proud of being first nation. "Our medicine is authentic from our Ancestors, and very powerful!  ;)
