About Arcane Shaman

Arcane Shaman explores earth based spirituality, Indigenous spirituality and witchcraft in hopes that you find inspiration for your own journey. Arcane Shaman explores these topics through practical, theological, academic, philosophical, diverse, inclusive and decolonial lenses.

We define Shaman as

a person who acts as intermediary between the natural and supernatural worlds. We use the word Shaman, instead of a culturally specific title, because this work simultaneously draws on cross-cultural sacred Indigenous Knowledges and Contemporary Witchcraft practices that involve a connection to the unseen world, the manipulation of spiritual energies, and a focus on healing, protection, and transformation.
