“ How did you become a Shaman?”
By Paul Hinserger, Shamanic Counselor
One of the questions that comes my way is,“ How did you become a Shaman?” I reply with something unexpected;“ I ' m not a Shaman. I ' m a Shamanic Practitioner and a Shamanic Counselor.”
As I explain in our workshops, the title of“ Shaman” is one that true Shamans will avoid using. The reason for this is simple: it is a label of a person who lives a very challenging life, one filled with constant tests and it represents a person who has been in the shoes of many others who face a myriad of challenges.
Can you understand why someone would not proclaim this?
