Dr Angela Puca: Folk Witchcraft or Indigenous Shamanism - Understanding Vernacular Magic Practices
Shamanism has been defined in different ways by scholars over the years. Among practitioners in Italy, the most common references are Mircea Eliade and his view of shamanism as a set of ecstatic techniques and Michael Harner’s idea of the shaman as a person who journeys to non-ordinary realities to gain power and knowledge. Four years of fieldwork in Italy conducted as part of a wider doctoral project on indigenous and trans-cultural shamanism in Italy have challenged the conceptualization of shamanism and the field of application of the term ‘indigenous’ as soon as I encountered and included the folk magic tradition of the Segnature. Based on participant observation and interviews with practitioners, I will present the tradition of Italian vernacular healers and how it relates, challenges, yet still appears to comply with a form of indigenous shamanism.
