| Initiation, Shamamism and Healing | ||
Initiatory events are those that mark a man or a woman's life forever, that pull a person deeper into life than they would normally choose to go. Initiatory events are those that define whoa person is, or cause some power to erupt from them, or strip everything from them until all that is left is their essential self. |

Shamans Through Time: 500 Years on the Path of Knowledge Editor Jeremy Narby Tarcher Putnam, 2001 
|
Surprisingly little appears to have changed in shamanic practices throughout the world in the last 500 years. Most rely on plant hallucinogens to communicate with otherworldly spirits for guidance and for enhanced perceptions of diseases and the identities of enemies. And most can choose whether to direct their energies for good or for evil purposes, an ability that provoked much hostility among their early observers.
