Shamanism is a spiritual practice that involves a practitioner, known as a shaman, who is believed to interact with the spirit world on behalf of the community. The practice is often characterized by rituals, ceremonies, and trance-like states that allow the shaman to communicate with spirits, heal the sick, divine the future, and perform other functions important to the community.
Origin of Shamanism
The origins of shamanism are ancient and diverse, with practices found in various cultures around the world. The Rigveda, an ancient Indian text, contains references to practices that are similar to what we now call shamanism. The word “shamanism” is believed to have its roots in the Vedic word “sama” or “shaman,” which denotes a state of equality and a calm or balanced state of mind.
In Vedic tradition, “Samaan” refers to a Vedic hymn or chant that is used in religious rituals and ceremonies. In shamanistic practices, the shaman often invokes the four elements—fire (Agni Devta), air (Vayu Devta), water (Jal Devta), and sometimes earth (Prithvi Devta)—as part of their rituals and spiritual work. These elements are considered fundamental forces in the universe and are invoked for various purposes, such as healing, protection, or seeking guidance from the spiritual realm.
