Episode 8: Shamanic Crisis

In this episode we discuss the rapid rise of shamanism in the West. As shamanism becomes more popular in modern Western culture, its true characteristics are being obscured to make it more palatable to the West. We expose the well-documented dark aspects of shamanic practice and the link between shamanism and the use of psychedelic drugs. Bibliography Books Castaneda, C. (1968/1998).
