From the distant past to the present:
Unchanging shamanism
Unchanging shamanism
Comparatively simple shamanic practices existed at least twenty thousand, and possibly two hundred thousand years ago everywhere on Earth, including Europe. Even if we rely only on data from archaeological and ethnological research, we can confidently conclude that shamanic methods are at least twenty thousand years old.
Nowadays, shamanic knowledge continues to live mainly among peoples whose culture is considered primitive. The knowledge they maintain was acquired through the efforts of hundreds of generations of people constantly balancing on the edge of life and death. For the ancestors of these people, shamanism was virtually the only means of coping with disease and other dangers of a hostile environment. Almost none of these cultures left behind written records, and for this reason, the descendants of the people who belonged to them, who continue to keep the ancient knowledge in their memory, are very valuable to us. Thus, modern man can learn the subtleties of shamanic practices only from the surviving representatives of these peoples.
The most remarkable thing about shamanic methods is that they are almost the same in every corner of the Earth. In Siberia and Central Asia, in North and South America, in Australia and South Africa, in Eastern and Northern Europe - everywhere we see a remarkable similarity in the methods used, and the same methods were used in the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean, and in medieval Europe they were exterminated only through the extraordinary efforts of the Inquisition - which is now only to be regretted.
In primitive cultures, which in many ways formed very different mechanisms for adapting to different environments and to different problems of material survival, the shamanic approach to strength and healing was maintained in essentially similar forms. Through prehistoric migration and isolation, many such groups were separated from other parts of humanity for ten to twenty thousand years. However, even after such a long period, their basic shamanic knowledge does not appear to have changed too much.
The reason for this, of course, is not the lack of imagination of the primitive peoples, because there is a great difference in the structure of their societies, art, economics and many other aspects of their cultures. The conclusion here is self-evident: it is not just prejudice and not based on anything faith. Shamanic knowledge operates in the same way for thousands of years, passing through all the tests and misconceptions, and people in completely different cultures, independently of each other came to the same conclusions, to the same principles and methods of healing and achieving shamanic power.
