SHAMANISM
The Latin word revelation means ‘unveiling’ and specifically the unveiling of truths concerning destiny and the intentions of the gods. Humankind has sought
revelation since the earliest times and has used an infinite number of ways to achieve it from augury and astrology to starvation and the use of drugs. This course is about the nature of revelation in the ancient and modern worlds and the arts it has inspired.
The Shaman, an individual understood to have a special understanding of the natural world existed and continues to exist in tribal cultures. Dismissed by the west
as ‘witch doctors’ or ‘medicine men’, the shamans were actually a vital link between the people and the world in which they lived.
