A mode of dealing with the spirit world through the agency of an individual set apart as spirit possessed and specially equipped to deal with superhuman forces. The term Shaman is generically applied to healers, exorcists, sorcerers, magicians, etc.
A practitioner of Shamanism is a Shaman. Shamans gain knowledge and the power to heal by entering into the spiritual world or dimension. The shaman may have, or acquire many spirit guides in the spirit world, these often guide and direct the shaman in his/her travels. These spirit guides are always present within the shaman though others only encounter them when the shaman is in a trance. The spirit guide energizes the shaman, enabling him/her to enter the spiritual dimension. The shaman heals within the spiritual dimension by returning 'lost' parts of the human soul from wherever they have gone. The shaman also cleanses excess negative energies which confuse or pollute the soul. Shaman act as "mediators" in their culture. The shaman communicates with the spirits on behalf of the community, including the spirits of the deceased. The shaman communicates with both living and dead to alleviate unrest, unsettled issues, and to deliver gifts to the spirits. Often, unsettled issues can be resolved with money. Paper money can be burnt to transfer its value to the spirits.

Get the Shamanism mug.A jenkem shaman is a mix between a crust punk and Haight street nomad/hobo. Usually someone from the 'burbs that got a little too much into smoking crack and playing the accordion in a street band. These fine specimen usually reside in Golden Gate park during day time and at night crash in your house and sometimes copulate with your friends or roommates, who are usually the ones responsible for letting them inside in the first place. They wear patchwork pants adorned with spoon and harmonica holders and wear some article of fake fur at all times. Basically, jenkem shamans are shitty gypsy grifters.

Girl 2: "Oh, probably that fucking jenkem shaman that rolled in with Jessica last night"
Girl 1: "Goddammit, I think we have bedbugs!"
