Neoshamanism

Neoshamanism (or neo-shamanism) refers to new forms of shamanism, typically practiced by Western people as a type of New Age spirituality, without direct connection to traditional shamanic societies. The term sometimes refers to modern shamanic rituals and practices that retain some connection to the traditional societies of their origin, though adapted to modern circumstances. This can include "shamanic" rituals performed as an exhibition, either on stage or for shamanic tourism, as well as modern derivations of traditional systems that incorporate new technology and worldviews.
