Shamanism is the oldest form of connection with Spirit that is known to humankind. In every society that archaeologist uncover, they find evidence of the belief of a divine connection and evidence that the group had particular people who acted as the messengers between Spirit and Man. The very existence of the tribe depended on the messages that the Shaman received... Where would they find water, or where was the herd of antelope or buffalo... What plants were nourishing or medicinal and which plants were poisonous? The Shaman would journey out of body, or simply connect with the Spirits of nature to receive this information.

While everyone has the potential to receive this information, It takes disciplined learning, intent and mostly faith in the interconnectedness of EVERYTHING to bring the gift to the surface.
