Hello,
Can anyone share their experiences with shamanism or journeying? I know very little about it but thought it might be something I should look into.
Thanks

I don't know much of anything about it off the top of my head, but I bet some other posters do.
Hi! :)
There is a Pagan Paths board here in iVillage you might drop in on, if you haven't already:

I also found these web sites:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamanism
http://www.shamanism.com/
http://deoxy.org/shaman.htm
http://www.sacred-texts.com/sha/index.htm
I have not studied Shamanism. But I remember reading a series of books about Carlos Castenada:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Castaneda
He studied with a Shaman in Mexico and wrote a number of books about this odyssey. Fascinating stuff. Each tribe and culture had their own Shamanistic traditions, so there is not just "one" spiritual path, as I understand. I have never studied the path, except to read Castenada's books about his studies and training.
Hope this helps!

Hi--
Another great website on what shamanism is and isn't. There is a list of recommended reading, along with great articles.
