Hi, my name is Phyllis Caran and I'm a Wiccan priestess from the Aura Tradition which is a tradition of what we call Shamanic Wicca, which is a term that I'm very happy to see in great circulation now. There are folks calling themselves Shamanic Wiccans in Australia and Italy. It's great. So, for us, for me, and for the folks who are with me in my tradition which is now also all over the globe, Shamanic Wicca is a combination of core Shamanic techniques. Core Shaman was essentially a gift from Dr. Michael Hartner who had studied with the Havaro and other Indians in South America when he was young and in the '60s when he was working on his PhD in anthropology. He discovered that in subsequent studies in the work, he's a brilliant scholar, but he's also, as a field anthropologist, very experienced with people and he began to realize that there were core practices that could be found being used by indigenous people all over the world. Those core practices are what makes up core Shamanism. So they exist somewhat independently of a particular cultural framework and they're universal techniques.
They include drumming, chanting, ecstatic dancing, power animals or spirit guides, the use of ecstatic technique like drumming to gain entrance into what we call non-ordinary reality which is essentially a kind of three leveled multi-dimensional reality. It surrounds the three dimensions that we're used to living in and is always present but we're not usually paying attention because we're in beta grocery buying consciousness. Don't get hit by the bus when you cross the streets. What is the report that I have to do for school tomorrow? That kind of consciousness. The next level is alpha. You get that with transcendental meditation and a lot of the, sort of, light meditation techniques. The next state is the fade away and that's what created with the use of steady percussive rhythm, two hundred beats a minute. You lie down in a darkened room. There is preparation beforehand which is very simple. It's the concept that basically the creation of sacred space and the honoring of the seven directions.
Each of the four directions above, below, and the center. There is usually chanting and dancing which is a way of welcoming your power animal or your spirit guide and you go through a tunnel and you come out in non-ordinary reality and your spirit guide is waiting for you. Your spirit guide knows all. They are the ones who teach you. Ask them a question and they will answer. They may not answer in words. They may answer by taking you on an adventure. They may answer by asking you another question. So these techniques now are being rediscovered. They are common to Native Americans in North America, South America, the Arctic Circle, in Finland and Sweden and Norway, the Eskimos, in Africa. You find it in India. You find it throughout even in Korea and Japan, all of the indigenous traditions including Europe have these similar practices and techniques as a means of entering sacred realms. The purpose of entering sacred realms is many fold. It's very practical. It's the way in which all of the herbal law, the wisdom that we have about healing herbs which is the basis, the foundation of modern medicine in fact, comes from the use of these techniques which enable one to hear when you're spoken to by a plant. When a plant says, "I am the cure for that individuals heart problems," it's a way of diagnosing a health problem. It's a way of discovering where the tribe should spend the winter, where the water is, where the herd will be. It's a way of meeting with the spirits of the animals that you'll hunt, that will be the means by which your tribe survives and all of that has a practical, modern application.
Where do I look for a job? Why do I not feel well? What will help me heal? And it has very profound psychological help as well. The journey for the lost soul, the lost spirit. People are very dispirited by the modern world that we live in. It's very alienated in culture. It's very tough to live in this world and people suffer from something called soul loss. It can be the result of a trauma or an illness or just the strain of living in modern times. These practices enable you to retrieve the parts of yourself that have gone into hiding. - Jak na to + styl
I’m a Pure Shaman, and finding out that others practice mixtures of our Craft is inspiring, because throughout all these Times it’s a further Realization that we are all Connected
how does it feel to connect to spirits? how do you know the difference between your thoughts and spirits?
My great grandfather was a shaman in the village he was from, do you know if it runs in the family?
As a Guarini native from Paraguay the man she worked with got his practices from my people. I'm a hereditary shaman and I use many types of witchcraft in my practices 🤗😁
🙏🙏🙏
As a shamanic wiccan I love this so much.
what is the difference between shamanism and wicca ?
@@yb32 that's a good question 👍👍💯💯
Wait... so that was a good explanation of Core Shamanism, but how does that interplay with the Wicca part?
Thanks, Phyllis I'm having a blast discovering that I'm not alone.
I have been trying to figure out what I'm doing instinctively . this is helpful
Thank you! I read Michael Harner's "The Way of the Shaman" in my PSY of REL class where we studied Shamanism. We also read "Shaman Healer Sage" by Alberto Villoldo, and the "Sacred Universe" by Thomas Berry. This path really resonates with me. The information that you are sharing is fantastic! I am eager to learn more.
@@Nordlys0 thank for the info. I will try also to read that book
Thanks for sharing I never felt so comfortable in awhile kinda like a lost home found ty.
Thank you, Phyllis
We care we dont give a $#/÷ of what u think get out of the video if ur gonna put hate comments or dislikes
We are entitled to our emotional responses.
The eye of the shaman blessed be )O(
I like your dress
i want to learn wicca. Can you help me 😊😊😊
I mean wicca is a totally different religion than from what you do, you know everything magick shouldn't be labeled as "wiccan" or a sub class of it. I mean thats like calling a Jew a Herbrew Christian am I right?
Dear Phyllis
Don't forget Denmark also :)
what about more ancienter types that long died out ones abled to feel hear see taste smell nature and able to speak plants and animals and to hear the goddess voice
I think I might be this and I'm kind of scared
I was raised Baptist and in my adult life I have been very much drawn to spirituality and I’m very interested in this. My family thinks if I believe in astrology or spirit guides, crystals or anything like that.. that its devil worship and against God. Can I believe in Jesus and still believe in this as well? Please dont be mean, its a real question. Thank you in advance.
I believe that all those things you listed are gifts from the Creator. It is also believed in some circles that Jesus studied some of those things as well. Follow your heart. You are ok 👌
thats just fear, the idea one way is right and that one group of people could ever know what is exactly right is so human it could never be divine! be kind to all things, thats all that matters. all the love to you
Study the old testament. It warns against such practices.
Indians are from INDIA...!!.. indigenous people of the Americas are Native People..!! Not Indians...!! Indian is a foreign word imposed by a foreign people ...If you want others to have an accurate portrayle and use accurate terms to reference Wicca.. be sure to do the same when referencing Native People and Native traditions...!!
natives are the natives of whichever land they inhabit. indigenous people of americas are called (and get this) americans.
@@thehighlifecommission9080 Exactly! Indians just mean indigenous that's it... no need to be pathological cody lol.
In the 1400s that’s when India got its name (only 600 years and some change) formerly known as Indonesia the natives of America are Indian I know it’s kinda confusing but the info is out there if you look
Entheogens are another way to enter alpha/theta brain states. Does your tradition use these wonderful universal teachers?
Indigenous traditions sure do, thats where the shamanic core practices she discussed come from
Wonder who learned it first the native Americans or some of the african tribes in africa
I teach modern techniques of shamanic witchcraft.
Hello Ian, Im here to learn and understand the techniques and art of Wicca, would be you be willing to get in touch?
Does #science back this up? Yes
Science does not need to back up everything to me, but if you harm none do as ye will and believe as ye will
interesting, a shame you use the word 'eskimo' its like saying nikker to someone black. an important dettail, and makes me wonder how deep you studied, read and maybe met with some inuit or other cultures. say 'eskimo' once and they will tell you its offensive. greetings
What word should be used instead then? Why is it insulting?
I lived in Alaska from 1963 til 1977 and not once was I ever told that the word Eskimo was an offensive word. Then I move to lower 48 after serving 4 years in the Army. Then it was I am to learn the word Eskimo is offensive, though I am not told why. I am told the accepted word is Inuit. On the same note, the word squaw is highly offensive and refers to a body part, not a person.
It's like calling them Indians instead of Native Americans, it's not so much offensive as culturally insensitive.
@@1Ophelia18 "Eskimo" means "meat eater" which is a slur to the natives it's directed towards since they were seen as savages who only ate raw meat which they do not.
I grieve for your soul LYCAN.
I think that's the first time I've ever heard someone call someone a werewolf as an insult
Shut up, Bible-breath.
Then leave
Native american and ones like the ones at mardi gras
Just maybe they are not as peaceful as they would like us to believe maybe it's not just the white man and their religion maybe it's them and their religion too. Maybe they don't want to tell us both sides of the story both sides pointing the finger but not pointing it at themselves
Not really. It's not wise to refer to a religion as either Fake or as Sh***. It invites negative responses, which nobody likes.
I try to learn about other religions with an open mind, but Wicca just seems absolutely ludicrous to me... These people are not actually experiencing "other realms." It's pure imagination.
No different than wicca
"and the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whor(mongers, and SORCERERS, and IDOLATERS, and all LIARS, shall have their place in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death." Revelation 21:8.....the bible is the final authority of this world and your persona life...and no man can change it.........
This is so sinful. I observe that it's only logical to think that a philosophy or belief is true if it's put out for everyone to know.
why is it sinful
It is not sinful
Any religious practice could be considered sinful, holy, interesting, or irrelevant. As long as no ones being harmed or shamed, live and let live imo.
tf is sinful every religion and practice has many ways of sharing information with others
Everything that doesnt adhere to your weak God's testaments is sinful
Why do people tend to take things out of their historical and cultural context? What a lack of respect towards native cultures around the world! Wicca is wicca and Shamanism is shamanism!
And red is red and blue is blue until you mix them together and make purple. Just because something is its own entity, doesn't mean that someone cannot build off of their knowledge of one and add it to another. Making it into a new and beautiful study.
That's what I call a big lack of respect! You believe you have the right to mix and do whatever you want in this crazy and globalized world which is leading us to our own destruction... Fantastic! Keep that way you cool people who know everything!
there is a reason some people believe one thing and others believe another. there must be truth in both for ideas have to have somewhere to come from. there for all things have truth. if you are someone who believes this then be willing to take in all the knowledge that the world has. if not then sorry my friend you curse yourself to never grow.
^ this sleepingtom gets it
History and religion are not codependent.
Thank you,Phyllis
