Quick and to the point. You’ll soon get those “comments” about you that are the indicators of how the public sees you.

I overheard what became my favorite comment about me at a gathering that went, “Just be careful. He has the power, and he will use it.”

It was in reference to negotiating my fee for defense.

Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture…Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.

Hello Shaman Hawk,

Thank you for your comment and interest.

I enjoyed looking at your website and learning more about you, and your experience.

A quick link for people to view the photo to which you refer is:

Your question, and the implications thereof, require a series of blog posts to do the answers justice. These, which were already planned, will follow in due course.

For those readers wanting a quick answer….

Participating in, benefiting from and practicing Shamanism is open to anyone. Indeed it is a birthright of the human race, Shamanism being humanity’s original spirituality. Our base physiology and psychology is ‘designed’ to be a ‘fit’ with Shamanism. (I will be writing more on this too).

Being a Shaman, as opposed to someone who simply participates in Shamanism, is something which in my view is only ideally undertaken with both the authority and calling of Spirit. The same goes for the type of Shaman. After all, reality is key; not one’s own opinion, or potentially misguided thinking.

My calling, initiation and learning commenced as long ago as 1985, though I did not initially realise what was starting. My journey has included an intense near death ‘initiation’ experience – which included a kind of looking into the abyss with a certain deep awareness that mentally I had no strength but that which comes from Spirit. I have been heavily involved in intense spiritual warfare.

In a sort of summary; I am aware that it is key to get as much of Spirit as possible and as little of me. A key to this is to have humble mindset and a desire to embrace truth, while not hanging on to one’s own opinion. Logically it makes perfect sense. Spirit knows best. Spirit exists. In a short while we will all pass from this life. We may as well start now.

Your comparison to Warrior Shaman and Black Shaman caught my attention.
I served a traditional 8 year apprenticeship with my people and a two year journey to complete training. Later I was pierced in the chest (see picture on blueplanetshaman.com) and hung for the night to prove worthy to go on my Warrior journey which took me to fight in Central America for two years.
I’m curious what your people require you to do to be a Warrior Shaman.
