I lack in knowledge of Shamanism, outside of little things here
   and there. From what I know of, a Shaman acts as one inbetween
   the human and the spiritual world, possessing certain gifts of
   helping people feel better (healings) and being empathic and
   understanding. In many cultures, this seems to be manifested in
   the form of ministers (which is something I'm looking into
   becoming), but Shamanism fastinates me, and I would like to know
   more. Any takers? Ken ku...@ritz.mordor.com listowner of
