Wu: female shamans of ancient China

[Ulises]

Fascinating article about the chinese female shamans...just delivered

 

I'll never forget the faces of all of us, men, when our qigong teacher announced:"Well, boys, now we are going to build in us a energetic uterus..."

By the way, that reminds me of one of the best books about shamanism I've read, a splendid corrective and beyond:

 

"...Tedlock shows how vital it is that we come to a deeper and more sympathetic understanding—and joining—of both the feminine and masculine sacred pathways. The opening paragraph recounts the unearthing of bones in the 60,000-year-old grave of an Ice Age shaman found in the Pavlov Hills of the Czech Republic. Skeletal analysis later reveals that this shaman is, remarkably, a woman. By the book’s final pages, Tedlock has stayed the course of reclaiming the feminine in religion and medicine, comparing the interpersonal orientation of shamanic training in the feminine tradition with the heroic orientation of training in the masculine tradition. She makes it clear that only a shamanism that recognizes the all-pervasive and interconnective life force can facilitate the bridging of feminine and masculine."

It's also nice when they arnt a whore. Shamanic posers peddling sex as medicine for the soul. Ethical Sluts raging against monogamy, still attracted to the lighthouses on the point.
