What is Intent?
Intent is the willful focus of attention upon a specific purpose or direction. Intent is what we carry with us on our journey between worlds. Itās a beacon, a reminder, a guide to keep us on point.
In shamanic practice, intent is an essential part of your work. If you approach a task with curiosity or just a strong interest, itās likely that youāll get lost in distractions if you go anywhere atā¦

Urban Shamanic Healing Process
Urban Shamanic HealingĀ Process
Note: Urban shamanism does not follow a specific indigenous tribal tradition. The methodologies of each urban shaman may vary. This post outlines one method. Although the details may differ, the overall concept of the shaman working with spirits to facilitate healing are common across all traditions and methods.
The process begins with the shaman being asked for help. The shaman never initiatesā¦

Meeting the Curtain There is a sidewalk between worlds. On one side there is emptiness and on the other an infinite curtain.
The Progression Walking through the fetid subterranean pipe, the blood blows past me like some archaic wind, uninterrupted and unyielding,
Ride it out
We are spirit entities that are (for lack of a better word) āinhabitingā the physical matter we observe and measure in our universe. We do this by choice in order to gain new knowledge by way of experiencing ālifeā in the material form.
Our experiences here and our spirit selves are not separate. For most, the mindis unaware, but we do have evidence of our motivation for being here.Ā Itās prettyā¦

Silent Rain
Staring out my window Watching the clouds Darkness slithers closer Searching for me Hungry for my pain
I see the rain Against the glass But it makes no sound It calls me Beckons me to join Its peaceful dance
Opening the door Stepping outside Raising my hands Offering my body Begging for release
The rain against my face Is not rain at all But the numbing poison Of the great beast above Its fangsā¦

Concerning Ceremony
To the urban shaman, ceremony is a fancy user interface.Ā Itās sole purpose is to affect others in a manner to positively influence their perception of your practice. Do the spirits require ceremony? No. Is ceremony required to heal others? No.Ā Do I need to perform a ceremony to journey and seek guidance from the spirits? No.
Does ceremony have value? Yes.
The spiritual healing process is brokenā¦

A Trip to the Movie House
A Trip to the MovieĀ House
I like to use the metaphor of a movie house to explain my cosmology. In it, there are:
characters/scenery in the movie: what spirits inhabit and are āboundā to in order to gain a specific set of experiences.
spirits watching the movie:our true selves which we often choose to forget about while watching the movie. We are bound to the experience until the movie ends. This means that, while itāsā¦

Concerning Evil
I was asked, āHow do you deal with evil spirits?ā
Short answer? I donāt.
Good and evil are concepts created by human existence. Evil describes a person or act that is culturally abhorrent, immoral and malevolent. People can do evil things. But this is a subjective property that only exists within our frame of reference.
Soldiers may travel from one country to another for the purpose of ārestoringā¦

Shadow of Childhood
There is a special place hidden within my memories. It is a shadow of childhood. Where Halloween Was costumes and candy, Christmas was magical, And Love Was a pure and unblemished vision.
I ride through the misty streets Of the small town in which I grew up On my old Schwinn bicycle: The one with the purple banana seat And the big curved handlebars Tipped with plastic tassels.
Everything isā¦
