Indie Shaman
Indie Shaman has been a resource centre for people interested in shamanism, animism and eco-spirituality since 2006, beginning as a discussion board /shamanic forum and launching Indie Shaman magazine in 2009.
This website aims to continue our original aim of offering resources and information through sharing articles, book reviews etc., many of which originally featured in Indie Shaman magazine, all freely available to read.
Indie Shaman magazine is still available on our main website at Indie Shaman in both print and PDF format. Our PDF editions are still a very ecological and affordable option at only £10.00 a year (4 magazines) plus we donate 50p to wildlife rescues for every PDF annual subscription taken out!
Shamanism
You Can!
Indie Shaman was set up with the original aim to inspire; providing information and support that inspired people to think “I can do that” or even “I don’t think this bit is for me but I can do that bit”. Animism – the belief that all has spirit – can lead to work with nature and the spirit of nature without necessarily meeting that spirit in shamanic journeys. Animism in itself is a good thing.
Shamanism means ‘what a shaman does’ – it doesn’t necessarily mean ‘only a shaman can do it’. For example a shaman is generally held to be someone who works with spirit on behalf of the community. But lots of people who are interested can work with spirit on a safe level for their own personal development, well-being and interest.
There are lots of resources about for people interested in traditional indigenous shamanism and for those who feel drawn to shamanism and want support in learning if their path is to be a practitioner. And Indie Shaman is for those people too. However, not everyone wants to be a shaman or shamanic practitioner and Indie Shaman is for people who feel like that also. There is always something you can do if you are interested in shamanism and animism. You don’t have to study with indigenous shaman abroad, which is out of reach for many people. You can work with spirit and the land wherever you live.
And we aim that Indie Shaman continues to share information and ideas on how.
