Shamanism is the oldest form of spiritual contact. As such Shamanism predates all known religions and might be the basis of which all religion was built upon, although shamanism itself is not a religion. Shamanism is set of religious-magical behaviors as defined by Eliade or the "magick of ecstasy." Shamanism is a set of beliefs and behaviors. This allows the shaman to shift consciousness at will to obtain information, heal, retrieve souls, or to seek for guidance from the ancestors.
