Awesome...
As an American Shaman...
I understand everything this man has said or is doing... there is nothing to stop us now.
We Are All Related.
Hi lucialight4, thanks for the positive feedback. Cool channel and great outlook on life.
I like this guy because he doesnt seem to be on some ego trip. Why cant more people who facilitate these types of things be more down to earth like this guy seems to be?
Ravynwolfe.. I know exactly what you are saying. People Fear, what they do not know or understand.,.. I had fights all the time growing up as people told me I was not American Indian because I had blond hair and grey hazel eyes.. Irish, dutch, and American Indian mix.. has produced that result in me... Sterotypes hurt, and people who been hurt many times also fear what they do not know and understand more...
As a spiritual Hmong and incoming young shaman. I can understand everything in this video. Geography doesn't divide us. Similar traditions, patterns and spiritual knowledge......... we're all related spiritually. :-) thank you.
I'm not sure about the ancient Celtic lands use of the TiPi like structures, but I do know that in the Norse areas they used a TiPi like structure for a temporary camp (and I'm talking about the wider population, not just the Sami people). So, YES, Europeans had TiPis too! (They just didn't call them "Tipis"). Europeans had a sweat lodge too. Europeans had their own native drums, chants/songs, vision quests etc. We are all related. We are all Children of Mother Earth. (as for myself, I'm American made from Celtic & Germanic parts, but I lived on 2 Native American Indian Reservations, lived with a medicine man's family, it was there I re-learned and rediscovered my boyhood relationship with nature and the earth, I already had my own ways but left those ways for a long time.)
And they use lots of tents too. I am also Celtic and Cherokee I think one must be sensitive to others. The tipi does something to one after hearing tons of complaints from natives...trying to tell them that Pagans and Celts have their own ways..have them say to me that no Pagans respect them...me saying yes many do and don't paint us all the same to go to this group and see a tipi. Its like why do I even try?
Mushrooms are not "key" to Shamanism, they are a tool. The "key" to shamanism is understanding that the most imcomprehensible thing about life is that it is comprehensible.
It appears he has crow or Raven feathers.. Very important to both Native and Celtic cultures.... That type of Drum is called a Bodhran.. But it is odd he using a native like stick to beat on it.. the Rattles are used in many cultures and traditions.. but I do understand your point he is using alot of NA symbolism that can be confusing to outsiders who do not know the difference... You are welcome to friend me and we can continue this conversation in private so we are not flooding the comments:)

I'm totally for the pagan community being one myself. I tried to stress that not all pagans are the same to the native community and got my head bit off in the process. I suspect because I am mainly white and pagan. It is prejudice yes. I'm trying to present that not all pagans are this way....and then I came here and saw the tipi and thought..how can anyone convince some natives that not all pagans rob the natives cultural and ritual? I'm trying. I'm trying to be sensitive to both sides.
Some Natives you can not convince.. They choose to belief this.... It's like any other form of discrimination...
Not to mention the Native Indian flute music and people chanting "heya hey" ..this is native. Where is the Celtic part? The ancient Celts had shamanic persons...they had their own ways. Why not show them? I also find it is up to others to decide whether you are shaman or not. This is my understanding.
Celts did not have any known tents.. I do not see him as vultering at all he is just making use of what is available people Native and Non Native now use TPs.. I am Celtic and Lakota and Cherokee I do not see his use of the TP as offensive or vulturing.
DNatureofDTrain the celts indeed used Tents on the eve of the great Battle of clontarf year 1014 Brian Ború of Ireland and his army before defeating the Norse vikings camped just outside of Dublin the used tents nearly identical to the native Americans. Nearly 3 years ago they reconstructed the Battle it is here on CZcams you can clearly see the many Tents. Before any major Battle they had to camp nights before its common sense to think they would have tents
@pearlsb4swine1969 Then why are you watching this video...you just ruined the sacred message of unity of shamanism with your commet. I dont see any comments on how Christianity is a copy and paste of Paganism..
@TokingOnCheese lol it is possible without psilocybin.... just a lot harder (: im sure this guy ingests the sacred mushroom
It will never work with out libery caps ... that is key to shamisum
I do not agree with you going after someone over using a TP that is Celtic. But I do agree that yes cultural vulturing, frauds,.. and sterotyping all Pagans.. But I see sterotyping anyone who is non native and using a TP as cultural vultures as just as wrong. Lets, Just relax.. and enjoy the what he shared, and not get so mad.... Love, Generosity.. Respect is important. I do not sense he posted this to offend our us, not one bit. I am sorry to see it offends you, I hope you heal soon.
He should'nt be culture vulturing from North American traditions ...I mean what's with the tipi? he is Celtic not Native American.
I ask that you go to white ego woman video and try and post this up there or talk to the natives there. I went in with a post saying "I hope that this woman does not have people thinking all pagans are the same" and all hell broke out. I sympathized..but all hell broke out against me. I still don't understand it. Go there and talk and you will see bigtime hurt and distrust of white pagans in the native community. It is sad. I dare you.
