Juan Manuel Castro Prieto: Shamanic journey in Peru (2013) In the footsteps of the Incan or Taw
Juan Manuel Castro Prieto: Shamanic journey in Peru (2013)In the footsteps of the Incan or Tawantinsuyo civilizations, where shamanic rituals were rooted in the population’s daily life, Juan Manuel Castro Prieto went to meet shamans, attending their surprising rituals and discovering their world.Today, shamans, healers or diviners still receive people in rooms filled with objects which combine religious symbolism, esotericism and popular believes. They read the future in coca leaves or alcohol, cure all the ills of the body and mind and communicate with the living or dead spirits. Indeed, the shaman is the mediator between the spirits of nature and mankind, who are living in harmony and symbiosis. In shamanism, nature, called Pachamama (Mother Earth) lives in every man and is the subject of many mysterious rituals. -- source link
