Our world needs people like you Tom and Chris who protect and "resurrect" the roots, traditions and faith that are so very needed in our Western society. You are beacons of hope that there is still consciousness of identity even after so many centuries of slumber and persecution
Shamanism is simply a way to worship. Here in Nepal, there are two types of shamans. One who communicates with the spirits and the other one who communicates with the gods. As a Nepalese Hindu, we need a shaman who communicate with the gods and provide instructions on how to conduct rituals.
Interesting talk, we had this tietäjä-tradition in Finland. They also were foretelling, finding lost cattle, items, healing etc. They went to trance to achieve some kind of possession trance (whatever is it, we don't call it that name) so the tutelary spirit comes to them and takes over. They were not really fully shamans because they were not straightly connected to spirit world, but they still had a lot of charateristics that also belong to shamans. So they were kinda mesoshamans.
I would argue that the Ancient Egyptian priests,students of mystery school traditions ,and also Magi would be practicing Shanmanism as its classically defined,but in a context of a high civilization.
My Grandpa, Wilbur Ternyik was a descendant of Chief Coboway who met Lewis and Clark in Oregon. Though I'm not related by blood due to my mom marrying into the family just after I was born, I did grow up hearing Native American stories and he also kept things like Totem poles and various masks around his house. His Wikipedia page even shows him wearing Native attire and holding a Tomahawk that doubled as his gavel when he was mayor. Ever since I was little I've been interested in things like shamanism. Perhaps it started with him.
I actually attended a northern drum; the shaman's doorway, workshop. A few years ago. Very informative, enlightening, and healing weekend spent in a gorgeous renovated farm house in Denmark.
What an awesome interview. I can relate so much to his experiences. Not that I’ve had any insights shared from any indigenous shamans, but what he said about his childhood visions and dreams. I’ve believed for a long time that shamans are chosen by spirit across the globe in every society when needed, especially in times of crisis. Western civilisation is most certainly in crisis.
Really enjoyed this video, I'm going to have to rewatch a few times. I often get the feeling I'm paying the price for not using my gifts, perhaps this video will help me to do something about it. Many thanks. :)
That's fascinating. I wonder if the 'Hyperborean' Abaris was a Shaman? The ancient Greeks describe him as a 'priest of Apollo', but there are Shamanic elements to the accounts.
Quite an interesting piece for me as a Finnish person 👍. Well done, once again. Propably the best TH-cam channel dealing with our common European heritage, history and mythology, bar none.

Alois Irlmair was an interesting figure. He helped Germans finding their relatives who did not come home because of ww2. He could find water and tell people if they had a disease. He was not very smart.
One of the more interesting things I seen about shamanism recently was the Hungarian Parliament inviting a Tuvan shaman to perform a ritual dance and bless the Holy Crown of Hungary as a means to bless the nation and bring forth prosperity. th-cam.com/video/UqpMPdXGxdo/w-d-xo.html
Shamanism is not a religion. For alltogether one year I stayed with tribal shamans in Nepal and they come from different religions/belief systems and ethnic groups.
That's why Shinto and Buddhism were able to be syncretised in Japan. Shinto is an indigenous belief system that has strong animistic and shamanistic elements, while Buddhism fulfills the role of organised religion.
@@Survivethejive Yes, but on the other hand they were also able to coexist thanks to the largely non-theistic approach of Buddhism and the non-dogmatic approach of Shamanism/Animism.
As Terrence McKenna says. If you visit any tribe in the Amazon that still use psychedelics, for example the shipibo tribe.. the shaman is the least shipibo person there. Living in spontaneous integrity with source = truth has nothing to do with any comforting and enticing religious idea about it. Beliefs are not required when one can know. To dwell with source is the priority for the shaman worth their namesake... and the trips in form, wether "hallucinations" or in the material realm are useful only when we can't stay there. If that. Healing comes from finding the roots of our agreements to manifest our suffering. Which require honesty to then disagree with and change for the better. Humans are so powerful, creating this 3d dream like metaverse, making it real with emotions, but humans forgot everything about it. Amnesiac gods. The best work that one can do in form is point to the formless. There is nothing to cling to.
Thomas do you know what the basis is for designating Gothic as an 'East Germanic' language and not a 'North Germanic' language? Given it came from Sweden? I suppose owed to the language drift between Crimean Gothic and Swedish. But what makes East Germanic distinct from North and West I wonder
Zoroastrianism, Greek paganism, Norse paganism, Hinduism and Jewish religion are all just more advanced and complex versions of Shamanism. I don't even think Shamanism is separate to religion - the native American shamans all believed in Gods and had pantheons too.

What a wonderful interview and privilege to listen and be present. Thank you so much for presenting this TR. loved it , proper job! ❤

Always quality videoes Tom, and very cool with some Jive Talks that has in person interviews!
Thanks, i prefer to interview this way
Wonderful interview this man is a true healing light! This Jive talk was one of my favorite interviews 🙏🏽
the (out of context) quote 'Wim Hof has made breathing very popular,' made me chuckle.

Is it possible that the Germanic people used the rhythmic metre of their poetry to induce a state of trance?
that photographer he speaks of who underwent shamanic training of focus from age 5 to 14... interesting that it was 9 years.

the last 20 minutes or so were very interesting!
Interesting interview and a good introduction to understand shamanism better.
Interesting interview. Cool advert for Legio Gloria as well!
Fantastic interview Tom, a real treat!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Excellent video!!
he needs his own channel and or to do more interviews

Great interview and rich in good information.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very cool but I'm only interested in wisdom from a germanic spear dancer with birds on his head.
Odd you don't see it?
I quite enjoyed this interview!
AMAZING! i have so many thoughts, and almost no one to share them wiiiiith
The Bonpo people of Tibet have a shamanistic tradition that has some parallels to Siberian Shamanism as well. A fascinating people (pronounced Bun).

I agree
Soul (creator) will use any belief system mind (creature) agreed to to communicate.
What happens without the belief system is the unfettered truth.
That's why Shinto and Buddhism were able to be syncretised in Japan. Shinto is an indigenous belief system that has strong animistic and shamanistic elements, while Buddhism fulfills the role of organised religion.
@@elimalinsky7069 Buddhism and shamanic tradition have been in conflict in for ég. Tibet and in Mongolia
@@Survivethejive Yes, but on the other hand they were also able to coexist thanks to the largely non-theistic approach of Buddhism and the non-dogmatic approach of Shamanism/Animism.
Ecstasy is not necessarily a frenzied state at all. It can be like Samhadi, like when your sexual energy goes up to your crown and opens it.
Aztek ‘priests’ also communicated with spirits and went into translike states

All Germanic languages come from Denmark/South Sweden. the names given to the divergent branches pertain to where they ended up
This was a good documentary for beginners
Religion is just a degradation of shamanism.
Religion is a more evolved version of shamanism.

the traditionalist frithjof schuon was very interested in native American practices
Don't just say you're colleagues to Siberian shamans.
