A shaman is a person who can enter a state of altered consciousness and travel to other dimensions of reality. There he contacts spirits and obtains knowledge and assistance in solving the problems of his community. Shamans often act as healers, spiritual guides and guardians of traditions.

Do shamans really exist?  

@dagma They exist. It's a living tradition in many cultures, especially among indigenous peoples. Of course, there are also people who impersonate shamans, so it is important to be critical and cautious.

And how does one become a shaman? Is it something that can be learned?

@nibir In traditional cultures, one often becomes a shaman through initiation, which can be a very difficult and challenging experience. In our world, you can attend workshops and courses on shamanism, but this is only an introduction to the subject. The true path of a shaman requires years of practice and personal development.
