SHAMANISM

Shamanism is a belief system that is believed to be able to communicate with the spirit world with the help of an altered state of consciousness such as trance.[one]The main purpose of this contact with the spirit world is to direct spirits or spiritual energies into the physical world to receive healing, prophecy or other help from them.

​

As with any religion or belief, shamanism has been influenced by various cultures depending on time and place. It would therefore be wrong to stick to a single and independent definition of Shamanism; however, considering that there are always exceptions, we can generalize as follows: At the center of the phenomenon of shamanism is a belief system in which there is a shaman who acts as an intermediary between spirits and layers (worlds). Especially the perception of the world and the universe of people who lived in ancient times has a great contribution in this role.
