Have you ever participated in a shamanic ceremony or ritual?

At that time, did you truly understand every spiritual activity taking place? Did you fully know what was happening?

Then ask yourself the following questions.

1. What type of shaman conducted the shamanic ritual you participated in?

2. According to which tradition was the ritual performed?

3. What type of fire was used?

4. What type of offering was made?

5. What type of invocation did the shaman use? Did the shaman make an oath? Did you understand the meaning of every word that was spoken?

6. Did the shamanic ritual take place at the center of Etügen, at the edge of Etügen, or in the transitional zone between two Etügen? Was the location an area where the realms of Ot, Ug, Am, or Ad were active?

7. During the ritual, did the shaman communicate with ongod? Did the shaman establish communication with the masters of the mountains and waters? Or what other kind of spiritual communication took place?

8. Do you think the shaman had sufficient knowledge and experience to perform that ritual?

9. How successful was the shamanic ritual?

10. Was what took place simply a ceremony, or was it a genuine shamanic ritual?

Ask yourself these questions.

A shamanic ritual cannot be fully understood simply by observing it from the outside. Lighting a fire, making offerings, performing invocations, and calling ongod are not separate, disconnected actions.

Behind them is an interconnected system involving space, the structure of the worlds, tradition, relationships, morality, cognition and understanding, knowledge, experience, risk assessment, and responsibility.

S.A.M. conducts both in-person and online training to provide answers to these questions.

We do not teach people simply to imitate shamanic rituals. We teach them to understand what they are doing, in what environment it is being done, according to which tradition, for what purpose, and with what level of responsibility.

Drawing on our many years of experience, we also teach how shamanic rituals can be carried out with proper knowledge, experience, and correct sequence, while avoiding unnecessary risks.
