Description

Apophysis The entire series was rendered exactly as you see them, with no postwork! Fifth in my Shaman series. My Native Heritage is of utmost importance to me and as I explore that I also explore images to fit within native culture, Shamanism refers to a range of traditional beliefs and practices concerned with communication with the spirit world. There are many variations in shamanism throughout the world, though there are some beliefs that are shared by all forms of shamanism: The spirits can play important roles in human lives. The shaman can control and/or cooperate with the spirits for the community's benefit. The spirits can be either good or bad. Shamans engage various processes and techniques to incite trance; such as: singing, dancing, taking entheogens, meditating and drumming. Animals play an important role, acting as omens and message-bearers, as well as representations of animal spirit guides. The shaman's spirit leaves the body and enters into the supernatural world during certain tasks. The shamans can treat illnesses or sickness. Shamans are healers, gurus and magicians. Thanks for viewing and for previous comments!

A very beautiful composition, which is extremely Shamanic oriented. A gorgeous depiction of colours and lighting, extremely soothing and appealing to the senses on all levels. When gazing at this image, seems like it could take me away on a journey to non-ordinary reality. Excellent depth and variation. This is absolutely phenomenal work! Great insight and most captivating image!
