Journey to the Spirit World: Exploring Neo-Shamanism
Level 4 (Upper World)
Level 4 (Upper World)
For decades now, I have been practicing neoshamanism in parallel with my endeavors in hermetics and magic, having formed my shamanic groups and circles. Occasionally, it appears in my teachings or when I share a story with one of my Perseus Arcane Academy students. To such an extent, that I have been directly asked in more than one instance, to create a video course specifically on neoshamanism and make it available on this same platform.
As the suggestion sat upon the back of my head, this point in time led exactly to its realization, an immersive video course that delves into the ancient roots of shamanic practices while aligning with the dynamics of today.
This course will demystify the rituals, tools, and techniques of Neo-Shamanic practices, thickening the connection with the spirit world.
Whether you are being introduced to shamanism or you are an experienced practitioner willing to expand your know-how, this path of self-discovery, healing, and enlightenment will transcend time and space and serve one and the other.
From sacred ceremonies, meditations and visionary journeys to the use of instruments and plants, this course is not just about acquiring knowledge; but a trail of embodiment, transforming reality, blurring the seen and the unseen, and leaving the student a living testament to the power of what he or she has gone through.
Neo-Shamanism is traditional shamanism adapted to the needs of the present day. In my path I have seen how rarely our people are truly prepared for traditional shamanism, much less without first becoming neoshamans. In most cases, the average human being living in the city becomes ill physically or mentally or gives up any spiritual practice entirely after attempting traditional shamanism.
Unlike traditional shamanism, which is attached to specific cultural contexts, Neo-Shamanism is eclectic in nature. It incorporates elements from various indigenous traditions and tempers them with psychology.
Power, self-knowledge, healing, direct contact with hidden dimensions.
Yes; trance-inducing music, chanting, dance, meditation, visions quests and the use of symbolic tools and ritual objects.
Nature is the source of inspiration and wisdom, the source of the great spirit.
Yes, there is no cultural requirement, and practitioners can freely integrate Neo-Shamanism into their lives.
No. Its practice can be integrated into various beliefs.
Respect for cultural traditions, a responsible use of nature, and a commitment to the good, to personal and general well-being.
Neo-Shamanism can be practiced both individually and in groups.
The entire curriculum currently totals five separate levels. Each level is sold separately. If you have further questions please check the main FAQ and/or send us a message via the contact form with any questions.
André lives in Moita, Portugal and has been a dedicated practitioner of magic and mysticism for more than two decades.
He met Fraternitas Hermetica (an order based on the works of Franz Bardon) while still a minor and had an initiator that stood even after the order vanished. He also has worked with his old initiator for 20 years. He has experience of other magical systems such as AMORC, Order of Michael’s Grail (with roots on Dion Fortune), Thelemic Golden Dawn, Astrum Argentum, the Typhonian OTO and the OTOA-LCN.
André teaches neo-shamanism and has his own active group of practitioners. Aside from his shamanic path, which he puts to use as a simple way to reach the uninitiated, he has been through the hermetic magical systems of Franz Bardon, as well as through systems presented by Rosicrucian orders and Thelemic organizations, still being a member of the Chaorder of SilverDusk and a member of the Inner Council of the Horus Maat Lodge, in which he holds the Portuguse Nexus.
