A Shaman Among Us
Author: Will Amacher Source: The (UW-Oshkosh) Advance Titan (WI)
Title: A SHAMAN AMONG US
Guidance can come from countless sources, and the manner in which we are guided greatly depends upon what we believe in, what we hold dear and what we wish to change about ourselves or the world around us.
Saul Meyer, a fifth-year UW-Oshkosh senior majoring in studio art and history, never really considered himself to be a religious person and said he wanted to find a belief system that fit into what he thought was important or beneficial.
“I was raised Lutheran,” Meyer said. “But [organized] religion never really was my thing.”
As a result, a little over two years ago Meyer decided to channel his beliefs in a different manner, far from the religious institution that he had been raised in.
“I had always been interested in shamanism for a long time. And one day, I decided that I wanted to become a shaman,” Meyer said.

Wolverine, I enjoyed your comment. And the article was very fascinating. Nice to read this sort of thing without it degenerating into nonsense.

I very much appreciated this article. It mirrors many of the thoughts and practices I have adopted. While I am not comfortable calling myself a Shaman, I ardently utilize tools from that tradition.
