Hi,
This has been puzzling me for a while now...is there a link between Wicca and Shamanism? I could follow the shamanic teachings, my reiki master does this but i am more drawn to wicca, even though thsi seems to be a more secretive path and it will be hard to meet other wiccans in real life.
I woudl be interested in reading more experinced views on this.
Thanks
Moonflower

Hi Moonflower,
welcome to hp. hope your enjoying all of the forums.
in answer to your question, Wicca is a first step into the world of the pagans,some people find their nich'e inMoon-worship, where-as others feel the need to explore further pathways.......which-ever path you might choose, may your God/Goddess/Spiritalways be there to guide you.
Much Love

RE: Wicca and Shamanism
Well, not an experienced view...but I have been contemplating the same myself. My husband is following the Shamans path, but I am drawn by both. I have been attempting to combine my ancestral path (wicca) with my home's ancestors (shaman). There have already proven to be some inconsistencies. For instance, in Celtic lore the wren is elusive, yet here in America it seeks humans. Finding meaning in my daily wren encounters has been difficult, though I enjoy them just the same 🙂
Thanks for putting this out there, I look forward to the discussion!

Ido not know the answer to your question but Sharon-Denise Taylor
Psychic/Medium Shamanic Visionary and this is her website and she says that “Both Wicca & Shamanism have enriched my life” [link= http://www.whitehindmagic.co.uk/shamanism_wicca.shtml ] http://www.whitehindmagic.co.uk/shamanism_wicca.shtml [/link] so maybe her website will answer your question.

Hi Moonflower [sm=wave.gif]
I was just about to sign off for the evening when I noticed your message. An interesting point I must say. I know very little about Shamanism but would like to know more as it is something that I feel I need to explore and read up on. I am always willing to learn!
As you know Moonflower I am Wiccan and to be honest I have met lots and lots of fellow wiccans not only in my area but online too.
Is there a link between Wicca and Shamanism??[sm=scratchchin.gif] Good question and I would also be interested to see what other more experienced members have to say on this subject.
