Welcome to Vine of Souls (VOS) shamanic-based discussion group.

We hold discussion and debate based on shamanism, shamanic perception, and shamanic healing techniques. World wide practices are respected here ~ from Peru all the way to Siberia, covering every area of the globe. Be yours a focused study or eclectic in nature, we welcome your voice, experience and opinion. Everyone is heard here – but we wont always agree! We do not shun shamanic practitioners for practicing shamanism, as this attitude suffocates both learning and sharing; learning and sharing is what Vine strives for.

Open minded people somewhat tolerant to political-incorrectness are appreciated, as are those who strive to NOT get hung up on semantics ~ especially when a clear picture has been presented in surrounding text. On that note, checking facts before posting will serve well. Commonsense can work miracles if embraced.

Vine's discussions will mainly include, but are not limited to:

Shamanism (all walks of), Hoodoo, Vodou, Chaos Magic, Witchcraft, Sorcery, and Medicine Men. Plant Spirits, Plant Dieta, and Organic Hallucinogens are explored, particularly Ayahuasca and Chacruna, Salvia divinorum, Peyote and mushrooms, to name a few. Shamanic Trance, Healing, Divination (all forms of), Psych, Quantum Thought, Energy, Parallel Realities, Dreams and Analysis, Visions and Quests, Shamanic Tools and Crafts are hot topics as well. In related areas, Psychic Ability (all forms of), OBEs, Metaphysics, Parapsychology, and any related focus is welcome.

Discussions and debate are encouraged but no intentional flaming is tolerated. Spammers will be shown the door without warning. This board is moderately moderated; flaming sphincters make the magic camel spit ~ while fluff bunnies make him vomit. You are warned.
