A Note from the Publisher
In the spring of 1997, I traveled for the first time with John Perkins and Dream Change Coalition to the High Andes and the Shuar tribe in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest. There I made a promise during a Natem (Ayahuasca) vision, to the spirit of the jungle. I promised to help it survive the onslaught of the encroaching Western civilization, to help preserve its vast spiritual and medicinal knowledge, and to learn from the keepers of its wisdom.
Shaman Portal is part of my effort to keep that promise and to share it with like-minded members of our global community. I want to thank the members of my group, the New York Shamanic Circle, for their support and inspiration throughout the years.
Join me in creating a strong global shamanic community for the sake of our future generations.

A Note from the Editor
Welcome to our Shaman Portal Quarterly Review. Our mission is to help preserving ancient shamanic traditions around the world and to reintroduce this ancient wisdom into the so-called “West”.
The Shaman Portal Quarterly Review will be an advertisement-free collection of articles written by leading Shamans, Healers, and Shamanic practitioners from around the world. It will cover topics such as ceremonies, cosmology, healing techniques, plant medicine, and sacred art.
For the sake of simplification, we will use the term “Shaman”, well aware that this term belongs to a specific Siberian tradition. In other traditions, a Shaman is called Yachak, Curandero, Sangoma, Yatiri, Paq’o, etc.
The common denominator for all those practitioners is the ability to bridge the gap between the ordinary and non-ordinary reality and to commune with the spirits of the different worlds for the benefit of the community.
I’m grateful for the support of the authors who contributed their time and effort to help birth this first project.
Many blessings,
Christian Thurow, Editor
