Shamanism
works in a holistic way, because it cares for the entire person
in a psychological and medical as well as in a pastoral and spiritual
sense. Shamans work with head, hands, heart and deep respect of
their patients. They use methods, that one would assign the conversation
psychotherapy today, physical practices and dances, relaxation techniques,
rituals and trance. They help their clients to find the way back
into their centre and regain their inner balance.
Europe and her peoples experienced many fundamental changes of cultural
and social values during the millenniums: from matriarchy to the
male dominated society, from natural religions to christianity etc.
The heir of the medicine men and -womens wisdom was step by step
destroyed.
Today we have very little evidence of tools, rituals and methods
of ancient shamen, and how could we? There is nothing written in
times of illiteracy. So all written records date much later and
should be enjoyed with some caution. And yet fragments have lasted
in fairy tales, stories and legends, and the one, who is able to
read between the lines, will certainly discover a touch of old knowledge,
often changed, shortened and manipulated but yet noticeably available.
The essences contained in the Shamanic Tool Kit are prepared
at special places, where the energy is legendary and has made the
place a power spot since ancient times. We chose plants of which
we know they or closely related species were used for shamanic purposes
(unfortunately botanical plant names do not belong to the little
historical material delivered). Anyway we researched their effects
and now we are ready to present them in public.
At present we prefer to present only short definitions. Further
information can be ordered from our mail
page - today just let the photographs and the few simple
words give you an impression of what is all about.
You who are familiar with essences shall certainly learn more than
we wrote...
