In studying Shamanism we learn that most ancient indigenous cultures had a need to communicate with the spirits of the deceased persons of the community and often this was done through their Shaman. Additionally, in most ancient cultures, the Shaman was actively engaged in a holy exchange with persons who were dying. Overall, the ancient peoples had the same interests and concerns we have today. Is my loved one OK? Has my loved one passed through the entanglements of this earth plane and moved on to a better place? Is there anything my loved one has to say to me, or is it possible for me to send a message to my loved one? Is there anything my loved one needs as he is dying, and how can I effectively communicate on a spiritual level with him? Most modern-day Shamanic Practitioners who, similar to the ancient Shamans, have lots of training and initiations in their background, utilize methods and practices that are comfortable for today’s clients coming from any tradition or belief system. Although we study the ways of ancient peoples, it is important for us to translate the knowledge, customs, practices and traditions of the ancient ones into a form that is not intimidating to anyone seeking help or guidance. Shamans have been doing this sacred work for centuries, and we are blessed to be here in the 21st Century as the bearers of this knowledge and the beneficiaries of their gifts.
