Understanding the Altar: A Shamanic Journey into the Heart of Creation
Ultimately, shamanism is a call to live authentically, rooted in gratitude and respect for creation. An altar, whether a stone in a sweat lodge or the ground beneath our feet, serves as a reference point for honoring life. It’s a reminder that we are all born from the religion of art—the creative pulse of existence—and that learning is a liberating act. By staying open to the teachings of nature and elders, we cultivate a spiritual practice that honors the four values of life and the continuity of existence. Let us walk this path with care, ensuring our actions reflect the divinity of the natural world.
