A Shaman vs. a Priest by Alan Watts
A Shaman is a person regarded as having access to, and influence in, the world of good and evil spirits, especially among some peoples of northern Asia and North America. Typically such people enter a trance state during a ritual, and practise divination and healing.
Shamanism is a spiritual practice found in cultures around the world from ancient times up to the present day.
