Abstract If we are to understand the nature of contemporary magical practice and its relationship with the "virtual" world of the Internet, it may well be that new paradigms are required—new paradigms for research into altered states of consciousness and new paradigms for the study of magic, as well. This chapter explores magic in the digital age, commencing with Terence McKenna's "cyberdelic"...

The growth of pentecostalism in South Korea since the 1950s, fueled largely by divine healing practices, is symbolized by the Yoido Full Gospel Church, the world’s largest Christian congregation, founded by David Yonggi Cho. Korea is second only to the United States in number of overseas missionaries. Ironically, divine healing first emerged in Presbyterian churches founded by “cessationist”...

Amazonian shamanic painting is a hybrid art born from the coming together of Western figurative techniques, indigenous body painting and visionary shamanic experiences. It is a testimonial art by which painters express their visionary experiences to a foreign public aiming to understand the Amazonian universe. In his watercolors and drawings, the Asháninka healer Noé Silva Morales bears witness...

Desde su establecimiento en la selva central peruana, hacia la década de 1920, los misioneros adventistas han reportado constantemente la permanencia de una serie de manifestaciones rituales tradicionales entre los conversos asháninkas, las cuales, a pesar de la constante crítica y prédica misionera, siguen teniendo gran vitalidad hasta nuestros días. Entre estas, las que han sido mayormente...

This paper compares Jungian psychology and African indigenous healing practices through a theoretical review. It argues that while both practices express the shamanic archetype and facilitate the universal instinct towards wholeness, the expression of this differs. In Jungian psychology the archetype of the Self is projected onto the individual and the goal is a dialogue along the ego-Self...

During many years of the Soviet regime and communist indoctrination in Central Asia indigenous healing practices were condemned and the healers, as well as mullahs, suffered persecution. Despite those efforts, traditional healing was not entirely eradicated and after the collapse of the Soviet Union it has been reappraised in the new independent Central Asian states. This paper, based on my...

I. PRÓLOGO A MODO DE ADVERTENCIA1. Una de las figuras pioneras en la consolidación de una especialidad científica que se ocupara del fenómeno samánico («chamanismo»), o samanología, fue Vilmos Diószegi.Este antropólogo húngaro, nacido en 1923, supo combinar el estudio concienzudo y pausado que requieren los archivos y catálogos de museo con el irritante, sino deprimente, trabajo de campo en las...

My investigation has shown me that near-death experiences (NDEs) are not some kind of anomaly but, rather, are part of the larger genre of transformations of consciousness. The clue I believe most researchers have missed is stress -- specifically, the intensity that comes from that stress (known in shamanism as "high stress"). I believe the entire pattern of aftereffects and the degree to which...

Passée du champ d’usage local et régional dans des réseaux globalisés de circulation, l’ayahuasca, plante psychoactive accompagnant des rituels néochamaniques, se propage à l’interface entre sociétés indigènes locales et mondes urbains latino-américains et internationaux. Comprendre le succès contemporain de l’ayahuasca implique donc de saisir la dynamique entre continuité et émergences...

The term medium or translates the Chinese term, which has often been - problematically, in most cases - rendered as shaman. Anthropologists have tried provide some analytic clarity a cluster of terms used label similar involving the descent of a or deity into a host. Raymond Firth understands spirit possession as designating phenomena of abnormal behavior which are interpreted by other members...
