Yes. Now tell you people to stop acting like your culture is unique. This is a human culture. All respect to your people, but American ingenious people act like they won some genetic lottery...

That's because they are your ancestors, that crossed from Siberia to North America during the ice age. And why all natives for the most part like myself, Eastern Band of Cherokee NC have a very small trace of sami Asian DNA, and why our rituals are so similar, and symbols, I have the Cherokee blood of my mom, and mostly germanic Europe and Irish, Baltic, Swedish, Norwegian father. The most dominant 3 is 45% north America north america indigenous, 35% Germanic Europe, 19% Irish. And small traces of Eastern Russia indigenous people, and Asian.

If you search 'Viking stones of shame' in google, the site which comes up as nr 2 contains pictures of the Big Hammar stone. The stone shows a shamanic initiation which starts up to the right and goes downwards in a snake like pattern. The first section shows a root and a woman standing surrounded by two warriors, which I believe symbolizes the effects of the root. Section nr2 shows shamanic drumming. Do you know what kind of root/plants shamans use/used during initiations?

you all probably dont give a shit but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

@Gregory Abraham Instablaster ;)

@Zev Karter i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

@Zev Karter it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out!

exactly

For sure! Many indigenous and spiritual pagan cultures (modern or continuous heritage) practice ceremonies left but I sure wish there were more!!

You are correct! I wanted a saami drum but I bought a more American drum with elk hide because the saami drums are expensive. Everyone needs to get back to our old ways that were erased when we were colonized here and there

I believe this too! germanic polythiest here animism, I think connecting with the earth and nature spirituality working with the spirits of land or deities of our ancestors to heal the earth is what is needed

i red the booksome year ago, and it makes me think again about the differences between knowing/"experiencing and believing something?hmm

Just eat dried caps of Amanita Muscaria. Once cured they are relatively harmless.

@@ChristopherVossArt I really don't want to risk it with Amanita Muscaria. I'll simmer it in wine or drink the reindeer piss.

We might be related then cause I just found out I come from a long line of Sami people. All sami from the 1600 to 1800

As Estonian immediately recognized similarity for whats used as traditional children toy, made of pig (digits?)bone and called as "Vurr", for the sound it makes. facebook.com/teemekooslastega/videos/vastlavurr/1529319897078375/

Probably because the Shakta tradition derived from older hindu traditions that preceeded those of the vedas, wich means they are of an even older pre-historic origin. They were eventually ""assimilated"" into the more mainstream forms of worship once the upanishads were written down. Most shakta practices originated in the south and from dravidian traditions, rather than indo-arian traditions. If I am not mistaken.

Inger Weaver. Discrimination for Shamans USA i live USA.

There are many... But they are hard to find if you don't have friends/connections in the reservations... Other than that there are only new age shamans and plastic shamans... Don't trust these people

Well, there's earthquakes.

this might be a year late but i'm guessing that there is at the very least one really tradition and spiritual person on each reservation in north America. but the thing is that there are many different nations in north America with many different customs and practices. if you do happen to find out information on a spiritual person and want to use his or her services for something. be it smudging or some sort of prayer/blessing be it through dancing or singing, maybe even a sweat lodge or story telling. the one thing that is kind of universal among native americans/ first nations is that you should offer them a pouch of tobacco for their services. it is kind of like a currency which they can use on other spiritual practices. oh ya. one great way to find any would be to go to a pow wow. you can compare a pow wow to a type of religious meeting if you will. so you can be certain to find what you are looking for at any pow wow.

@@BlackLotusVisualArchive yes, endeed(of cource). But russian ethnic people don't like alike with people of another nationalities. Exactly nowdays. Russian people dream about aries alike-clear people :) better than other people all over the world.

@Durandal I agree with you. Sami people are only FINNO-UGRIC lamily anguage.

Russian Sami actually have the least Siberian genetics out of all Sami (aka they're the most "white") and the man drumming and talking for most of the video isn't Sami. Judging from the clothes and facial features, i'd say he's of Tungusic origin.

@@raushanmukanova6067 aw naw, how about karjalan people? They also finno-ugric u know :D

Не называй саами пожалуйста лопарями. Конечно, если сам не саам. Это не уважительно.

@@PIENI_HARAKKA О.к.

@@PIENI_HARAKKA А почему НЕ уважительно?

@@PIENI_HARAKKA Скажите пожалуйста, вы саам?

@@raushanmukanova6067 Да, вся моя семья карелы и саами. Просто, слово "лоппь" скажем так, сленговое, лучше говорите "саами" :)

These are people from the Sami culture. They aren’t new age. All of their practices are true and original to their heritage. They’ve lived in norther Scandinavia and northwest Russia for hundreds and hundreds of years. (Maybe even thousands)

The sámi have been around for thousands of years. This is ancient culture.

@@magnusbekkestad On the contrary. As Sweden, Norway and Finland forced their sámi population into Christianity, Russia have remained to keep the culture and traditions intact because there wasn't enough sámi people to make a bigger difference for the whole country. Hence they do get to learn their ancient history yet today. And luckily for us we get to participate in something that was lost in our culture.

@@magnusbekkestad Jodå. Det finns några kvar.

Obviously he's referring to these white folks trying to culturally appropriate.
