What are your thoughts on this new wave of young adults practicing shamanism ... that not of traditional ways, but more modernized, in which they practice with candles, flowers, etc.?
I have been hearing too many folks are now practicing shamanism .... some have no choice, but to embrace it .... others just opened their minds to it.

Like yoga and meditation?
Spa treatment, aromatherapy?
Makes it pretty I guess

I don't care how they dress or dance to the alter or what they use for their performances, so long as they heal and predict life correctly.
Just about a week or so ago, a Hmong lady came on the radio and said, "I've just had my spirits talk to those Thai boys in the cave. I've visited them spiritually. They are all dead spirits now. They aren't humans anymore. They won't ever be rescued now." (Not exact quote but the gist of it.)
Okay. That one, I won't consult.

It could be Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
That doesn't mean she's not right. A lot of people who go through a brutal or harsh event will feel dead spiritually. Although those children may have been rescued, who knows what's really going through their mind, mentally.
