shaman, n.All

The Shaman is a person who is able to transcend the dimensional confines of cultural existence. Only he knows that culture is a game. Everyone else takes it seriously. That's how he can do his magic.

A Shaman is a person who by some means has gotten out of their own culture.

The Shaman is, along with the psycho, the only one who creates reality for themself.

The Shaman is very often only someone who is deprived, but who takes an astonishing revenge on destiny, as a result of his being absolutely the only one who is hand in glove with the spirits.

The Shaman is the central figure in the archaic revival.

The Shaman is not only a sick man, he is above all, a sick man who has been cured, who has succeeded in curing himself.

A Shaman is not a shaman on the basis of curing his patients. Rather, it is the other way around. The shaman cures his patients because he has become a great shaman.

The Shaman is built upon a logic whereby one is a great shaman not because he has cured his patients, but rather, he is one who cures his patients because he is a great shaman.
