shamanism

Shamanism combines a range of traditional beliefs and practices focusing on communication with the spirit world, and higher power. A practitioner of shamanism is known as a shaman.

There are many variations of shamanism throughout the world, but several common beliefs are shared by all forms of shamanism. Shamans are intermediaries between the human and spirit worlds. According to believers, they can treat illness and are capable of entering supernatural realms to obtain answers to the problems of their community.

"Shamanism must take a lot of heart, care and dedication."

Wet Sherman

Upon reaching climax (usually by HJ or BJ) a man sticks the tip of his still wet penis into his partner's ear. Similar to the manor one would give a "wet willy" with their finger.

Usually deemed disrespectful.

Tom was a real jerk. He gave Bonnie a wet sherman after she blew him.

Rusty Sherman

To put one's penis between one's legs & rub against one's bumhole. Tada.

Jane was mortified when she came home to her husband hoovering the house whilst performing a Rusty Sherman and crying out in a high pitched voice `I'm a lady!'

Nam Shaman

A Vietnam Vet who was once a bloodthirsty jungle fighter or Huey pilot but has now turned to more peaceful pursuits. Was in "the shit." Typically wears garb like flowing Mexican wedding shirts, faded Zubaz pants, tigerstripe camo shorts and sandals. Has a long-flowing white beard or ponytail and wears druidic talismans around his neck that reflect past experiences: dogtags, spent bullet casings, Kokopelli figurines, dreamcatchers, etc. Currently employed as a helicopter tour pilot in Hawaii, docent at a New Mexico pottery museum or mid-level weed dealer in Santa Cruz. A fixture at street fairs and boardwalks, typically sells burl wood clocks and beach sunset photos. Speaks a patois of New Age babble, but throws in military jargon only a Nam Vet would know. Breaking into his home is not recommended, because though peaceful, he probably has a loaded M1911 semi-automatic pistol in his nightstand. Typically married to a Laguna Beach Lady who shops at Chico's and wears too much turquoise jewelry.

Did you see that Nam Shaman down at Venice Beach selling the whale paintings? He had a badass tattoo of an angel reigning down bombs from her outstretched wings!

shaman

One who can interact and mediate with the spirit world on behalf of their community, usualy by exctatic trance techniques ( That is their spirit/soul leaves their physical body in order to travel to a world of pure spirit rather than physical matter) for the purposes of divination, information gathering, healing and to recieve wisdom.
Believed to come from the Tungus word "saman" meaning (very roughly)holder of knowledge.
Some anthropologists maintain that shaman are the basis of most magician/sorceror archetypes in folklore.
In modern times the word is overused, and seems to have become , in the minds of the modern illiterate, purely connected with various character classes in computer RolePlaying Games.

In Modern Siberia, Mongolia, and amongst the Sami the role of the shaman is undergoing something of a renaissance.
