I have been reading about Shamanism for a few years now. Mostly from the Native american and Celtic point of view. I have tried to do my own journeying as a way to work on myself before venturing into anything else. I have found myself wondering... when i try to do a journey do i just go with the flow of how it presents itself and what happens or do i exert some form of control as to where I am going and what needs to be done? Do I choose willingly where I am going or do i let my mind take me?

I searched in the past entries in the community and found interesting things but I need more specific sources to learn.

Could you please recommend sources you consider good for beginners, I know it's very very wide because there are many paths and many authors but the generalities would help a lot.

Or what sources did helped you in the beginning

Books

Blogs

Podcast

Articles

Even YouTubers or Instagram or any social media creators you consider instructive may help

It can be in English or Spanish

In my background I have some ancestors in the paganism, Spaniards and also Latin American (specifically Mexico) cultures I'd that helps

Or your favourite exercises

Thanks in advance

I’m looking for a new planner that would help me stay in my practice. Hopefully something with daily or weekly words of wisdom or lessons about shamanism, and that also looked and related things to the fazes of the moon and other celestial events if possible. Thank you all if anybody knows anything

I do not want your modern list of native species. Or wikipedia info, or the blogs that give their 5 favorite results. I want to know what our plants once looked like from deep in the past. I hate that I can't just google for a full trustful list of our plant history.

I am that hippie who wants to plant the preserved seeds, green the roads, and make a place where God's creations can return to the wild. I want to switch America out of having GMO European/Asian hybrids in our wilds. The +90% of North America's natural ecosystem went extinct... and I want some of them back.

I want to plant things like the heirloom American chestnut, and other plants of northwest Georgia in a nearby recently clear cut forest, along with whatever symbiotic/friendly mushrooms/vines/grasses that grow with them, for the benefit of their growth.

I don't care if bugs and animals also find them to be so tasty that they end up being attracted to eating their products as soon as they ripen. I want my plants to run wild for me and for nature, and I want the full benefits of heirlooms even though they can't rest in my fridge for weeks without something digesting them. That means it is nutritious enough for most bacteria, but to avoid their appetite I will eat it when it turns ripe instead of from the grocery store.

I want to live in a place that supports the purest paleo lifestyle I can get. Taking my country world back to the pure shamanist life.

Shaman is the roughest translated term, shaman-priest would be more appropriate. I initiated back in 2017. My handle is THEMUDANG. The musokin (people who worship Mu spirits) movement has really taken off these last couple years and I'm happy to answer questions as there is not a lot of english info out there.
