Remember the "shaman" of January 6th? Sadly, we all do. Most of us in the west have a very distorted and inaccurate idea of the origins of shamanism and what even an actual shaman is.  Luckily, we have David Shi, initiated Shaman and author of Spirit Voices: The Mysteries and Magic of North Asian Shamanism, with us on this episode to break down the facts! In this episode, Aly and David get into what this tradition truly entails and how a witch can learn more about it from reputable sources among other excited aspects of the practice of shamanism.
