“The shaman is somewhat of a maverick amongst religious practitioners. While shamanism occurs in virtually every culture on the planet, manifesting itself in religious traditions both ancient and modern, both primitive and sophisticated, the shaman remains eminently individualistic, idiosyncratic, and enigmatic, standing ever apart from organized ecclesiastical institutions while still performing important functions for psychic and religious life of the culture. Comparable but not identical with such idiosyncratic practitioners such as medicine men and sorcerers, the shaman is the possessor of techniques of proven efficacy and of powers bordering on the paranormal––the complete understanding of which still eludes modern psychology.”
