Finally, I give a detailed definition of what I mean by "shaman." (More at [ Ссылка ]) Focusing on the "unseen" energetic abilities of a shaman, I downplay the external behavior, especially as it is expressed in ceremonies. In the commentary I suggest Carlos Castaneda was not a shaman though a good fictional writer. I also examine the popular form of contemporary shamanism known as journeying.
