shamanista 

Share definition Flag
A white woman who claims to be a shaman but is actually only cosplaying as one. She’s happy to culturally appropriate anything if it serves her purposes, which are to make money from her minions. She’s dangerous because she pretends to be about healing but in actuality is about something much more selfish and dark, and doesn’t have a genuine clue of how to actually help people. She likes attention and money. Beware the shamanista.
“I went to her workshop about energy and boundaries. Turns out it was all bullshit, she’s nothing but a shamanista”.

shamanista 

Share definition Flag
A middle aged white woman who culturally appropriates the teachings of South American healers and cosplays as a shaman. Her larping includes putting on “workshops” for other ninnies who give her money to listen to her new age nonsense and buy/read her nonsensical books full of grammatical errors and typos. She pretends to be about healing but is really about something much darker and more selfish. She craves attention and veneration from wing nuts and happily takes whatever resources she can get from them. Beware the shamanista.
“I took her workshop on energy and boundaries. It was a waste of money, she’s just a shamanista”.

Shamanism

Share definition Flag
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.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
