Shamanism Continues NOT Existing

To quote a friend Kahuna Lamaku: "The Non-tribal World does not allow shamanism to exist. Shamanism, the idea, only exists within a tribal context. Without a tribe, a Shaman can be a priest, a sorcerer or ritual magician. Even if non-tribal people could learn shamanism, they could not grasp it."

We both agree that the path of "shamanism" is hard for most people to grasp. Even I have troubles when in the average waking world amidst "muggles" or going to the bank on an average San Diego day. I won't go to Wal-Mart anymore because of the sheer ignorance within the consciousness of the people. Lo, we must be compassionate. My interpretative of the reason behind the escape of shamanism from one's understanding in the Western/National world is LANGUAGE Barrier.

For more info on this (and language) please reference my article on "If you can read this, your language killed shamanism!" before continuing in this discussion.

Appreciate your comments,

Salvia, Ska Maria Pastora Entheogenic Ritual Group

Ska Maria Pastora, the Shepherdess or Salvia Divinorum is a sacred entheogenic plant of the peoples of Mexico in the mint family. It was used long ago, mostly likely, by the Maya, Zapotec, Aztec and Omec. Many modern Indigenous groups still use Salvia Divinorum through a process of chewing rolled leaves at night time for healing and divination. Modern descendants of the Maya and Zapotec as well as Mixtec and Oaxacan peoples still utilize this plant today. Most often we hear that they use it as a substitute for the Magic Mushrooms (Psilocybe Cubensis and Psilocybe species) during the seasons when the mushrooms are not fruiting. Salvia Divinorum is an easy plant to cultivate and can be very sustainable and rewarding to the Shamanic Herbal enthusiast. It is primarily probagated through cuttings but lately the plants that many of my friends keep are sprouting flowers and eventually seeds. These are sensitive plants and, I believe, need lots of loving care. If provided a safe...

Birth Chart of Bitcoin and Predicting Value through Astrology

As an astrology teacher and a fortune teller, many people ask me about their personal investments and return on these situations. For the most part, people want divination like card readings and an interpretive analysis of the outcome of their current decisions and destiny when in actuality the best forecasts or prophetic readings are those where all factors able to be considered are communicated clearly and considered well by the reader and the questioner. The biggest factor when speculating the outcome of a resource based situation is usually energy-loss management. As this holds true in gambling and it is said that the first key to winning is money management (or bet management). For me, personally and when lead teams it’s a mathematical metaphysical order of operations: 1. Management of Money and Resource (Time VS Money VS Personal Attention/Intention) 2. Knowing how to play a game of chance or speculate in a strategic or “proven” method and understanding the ...

Yoga Swami and Encinitas History

Readers and Yoga Adventurers, Just recently called the Yoga Mecca of the USA, Encinitas CA and Yoga Swami (where I teach two days a week) are special and are a must visit for any yoga adventurers. See the article in the winter 2008 copy of the Encinitas magazine. http://www.encinitasmag.com/about.html Encinitas, Swami's Surf Spot, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Leucadia...can be consider spiritual vortex hotspots. This evident in the number of places to worship just on the coast (west of hwy 101) near the cliffside beachs or Swami's and Moonlight. So my mother's family (mexican americans) lived in Encinitas during the period of time when Paramahansa Yogananda (the Swami that Swami's is named after). This time period was about the 1930's- 1940's. At this time Encinitas, was well liked by Swami Yogananda and he settled there for sometime. Swami Yogananda was a capricorn and he was a very involved meditator and yoga practicioner. His foundation still exists in E...
