[@Buddha] True. I have heard a few churches that participated in "the occult", but the Shaman side of my beliefs is more so a reference to Native American Spirituality. I don't know my ancestors, so I don't claim to be of NA descent, but I have had a dream a "certified" Shaman claims is a Shaman's Journey. I have no physical proof, which is why I have all the disclaimers and quotes, but it seems to be more than just occult practices in Christianity.

And Norse Paganism does sound more direct in its ways.
