100 word reflection on Native Religions

Each student will post a weekly reflection/discussion on the Monday discussion board. Students will pick one point of interest from the weekly readings and post a 100-150 word reflection each week.

I need you to write 100 word reflection on myth and legend then reflect on the these posts:

1- One thing that I found interesting about native religions is the use of shamans. Shamanism as described in the textbook is a well respected, usually male, community member that helps guide the spirits in a person’s body. What is most interesting is the idea that there are active spirits considered to be in someone’s body that can be considered “good” or “bad”. And these spirits inside a body can even drive this shaman mad or kill the shaman if they are not particularly good at their job. In order to help guide the shaman, mushrooms or another psychedelic agent would be used to create a trance like state so they can connect with the spirit and guide them.

2- It is really important to learn about native religions since my major deals with patients from all around the world Therefore, I have to learn more about how they view their religions, what these spiritual means for them or how nature is linked to their religions. In the reading, I learned that Shamans can help cure the patients and heal them using power and wisdom drones from their encounters in other realities. Shamanism is a respected male who has the power to cure the patient by controlling spirituals. I found it so interesting that they have the power to do many things such as healing, connecting to other worlds, or predicting the future. Also, it was so interesting that Shamans eat mushrooms in order to get the plant spirit trances in themselves
