Just a
contribution:-
At the Big Green Gathering last week
a spontaneous conversation between neo-pagans, astrologers and wiccans took
place in the Earth Energies area as to the difference between magic and
shamanism. After an hour or so the question was basically settled when an
elderly neo-pagan stated ‘Magicians talk the walk, but shamen walk the
talk. You don’t see shamen talking about techniques’. And perhaps a
more contemporary definition of magic might be found in ’Where Science and Magic
Meet’, by Serena Rhoney-Dougal, the first person to gain a PhD in
parapsychology.
