Hello, very much like to exchange experience on a par with Shamans. There is a wealth of experience in the relocation of the bodies of animals with toadstools on the basis of ancient knowledge and recipes for the peoples of Siberia.
I've heard of people in trance states feeling as though they are animals, and have experienced it myself.
I can assure you that mushrooms are not needed to do this, though entheogens certainly have their place in indigenous practices. I achieved this trance state by simply meditating and visualizing.
I absolutely agree with you. But to achieve multiple shamans gain strength is directly related to their totems, or, in other words, from their animal allies. The more a totem, the stronger the force of his pet, the more powerful shaman. The shaman does not consider a person a better or more conscientious than the animal, although people depend on animals as a food source. Animals, like rocks, have a powerful spirit, they are endowed with unique talents and can provide invaluable assistance to people in various fields. Relations between the shaman with animals fruitful. Shaman evinces the spirit of reverence and devotion to animals, in response to an animal protection and offers his help in solving those problems with which one shaman to handle too much.
Animal Allies can also help find lost objects, to be mediators in problematic relationships and contribute to achieving the difficult goal.
Each animal has its own force strengths, so that if the problem is complex and ambiguous, the shaman must consult with a few allies. Kite is famous for its foresight, and the fox - cunning and intelligence. In general, some of the animals strength, becoming a household have lost their power in the distant past. They serve the people more physically than mentally.
