A word meaning, literally, “self-healed madman”.
The spiritual healing & integration undertaken by a shaman (any shaman, including you) is what determines the difference between a madman caught in the consensual reality, and a self-healed madman (shaman) who begins to walk outside the box of ordinary awareness.
“There is a big distinction between being a Warrior and a Shaman. A Warrior is not a Shaman although they may borrow some shamanic techniques. The Warrior seeks personal liberation. A Shaman does not necessarily seek that as essential to their existence. The Warrior may well extend that sense of personal liberation to the larger focus of humanity and moving the assemblage point of the world as a chosen task. The Warrior is non-traditional. Liberation is about being strategic and creative. The Shaman is very traditional utilizing age old techniques passed down from generations while the Warrior gains inspiration from the Warrior Spirit. The Warrior and Shaman represent extreme ends of the spectrum that often visit each other. The Warrior gains from learning shamanic techniques and the Shaman gains in adding some nuance and creativity to the menu.” -Mark Cloudfoot
