good morning - couldn't that be discussed on this list?

For starters not quite sure what the difference would be between 'shamanism' and 'magick'

- perhaps a difference between literate and non-literate traditions??

In contemporary publishing 'shamanism' once functioned as a euphemism for magick -

ie doesn't scare the fish -

other euphemisms 'alchemy' = 'sex'

; )

Subject: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] Academic shamanism list

Hi, Does anyone know of an academic shamanism list, or better still a list where acadermics and practitioners can exchange ideas? The ones I've looked at seem to be fairly inactive - maybe just estivating (if that is a proper word) like this list out of term-time - but please let me know if anyone knows anything.  

 

BB,

 

Dave
