The term 'Shaman' actually refers to a man or a woman who is able to enter into an altered state of consciousness for the purpose of embarking upon a spirit journey into alternate dimensions and realities in order to access hidden knowledge or power to assist others. During this journey, the Shamanic Practitioner utilizes 'spirit helpers' as an integral part of accomplishing their work. The work of finding and allying these spirit helpers is a critical part of the shaman's daily life. Since the dawn of time, shamans have been the first and often only line of defense against illness and chaos within their culture. Their skills healed the sick. Their journeys and subsequent wisdom gave order to the universe. Their powers of divination gave insight into the future. They served as doctors, psychiatrists, and ministers to their people. Their presence was central to the health and well-being of their tribe.

Specifically shamans have three main functions within society: � Healing � Accessing new or ancient knowledge from the Other-worlds � Gaining information of future events
