Trying to describe what shamanism is to most people is not only confusing,but it is next to impossible to describe the complete context of a shamans role in society(being that society past or present).Shamans in ancient times, were not only medicine men in charge of herbal healing, but they were spiritual leaders of the tribes as well.Their function within ancient societies was that of a light in a dark forest at night, giving direction to those who were lost on the path of lifes quest.They were the light holders when it came to spiritual matters.They were not only healers, but cunning warriors and wise strategist, who helped the leaders make choices based on the spiritual and natural world around them.
