Shamanism

Shamanism is the ability to interact with the spiritual world, allowing oneself to perceive, contact, and manipulate the spirits and spiritual energies.

In the Shamanistic view of the world, the visible world is pervaded by invisible forces and spirits which affect the lives of the living and nature. There are also various levels of existence: the upperworld, where spirits and deities live; the mortal world, where mortal beings live; and the underworld, where the deceased live.
