One of my intentions for the ceremonies is to seek answers regarding my cruel and aggressive tendencies. Not to say I walk around starting fights (I have never fought), but I see and feel these things in myself, and as an aspiring practitioner of healing modalities, I see this trait as an inhibitory one. Thank you for such a relevant and enlightening post. I will keep this in context when I begin my ceremonies next weekend. I will be participating in my first ceremonies very soon.

Just reading in Hilary S. Webb “Traveling between the Worlds” an interview with Christina Pratt, who talks about the difference between shaman and sorcerer relies in that shamans acts as a channel for superior forces and gives equilibrium to the comunnity.

Sorceres, she says, look for develop their inner power, in order to explore human potentiality, but it doesn’t imply that they have to harm others.

What do you think about it? And another quick question: which are your favourite books on shamanism?–i’ve seen you reccomend “Shamanism: a reader”. Any other you think is worth the read?

thanks
