Shamanic healing is as old as time, but Wikipedia and I could only trace back to the Khanate of Kazan in 1552. Early anthropologists termed it Shamanism, borrowing it from the Turks and Mongols.

I'm not an expert on this, which is why I invited one on the show, but it seems that a Shaman is one who can travel between the Spirit world and ours and make that connection to bring back healing modalities for whatever ails us.

Although I'm sure most of us are familiar with the Native American Shaman, every culture has some form of this folk culture medicine person, with probably the most popular being the Witch Doctor (associated correctly or not with VUDU), very few of us know anything factual. No, Movies are NOT authorities.

Tune in Tuesday and learn from the man who wrote the book, several of them actually. Wow! It's like the best of two worlds... oh, wait... it IS!
