Shamanism Is Circles Learning Lifetimes Poem by Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)

shamanism is circles learning lifetimes
not one life but all preceding lives
contributing to in healing giving gifts

shamanistic initiate initiative crisis
windows involving physical illness
or keys sharp psychological crisis

wounded archetype healer heals
shaman she he undergoes sickness
to brink of death passage pushes

shaman becomes
sick to understand sickness
shaman overcomes

her his own sickness
experience holds cures
to heal future sufferings
