A series of podcasts about Shamanism and Animism, by Nicholas Breeze Wood, editor of Sacred Hoop Magazine - the international magazine about shamanic spirituality.
The 3Worlds - The Shamanism Podcast is an incredibly valuable resource for anyone interested in shamanic practices and indigenous healing traditions. Hosted by Nicholas Breeze Wood, this podcast offers a wealth of knowledge and insight into the world of shamanism. As someone who has recently started practicing, I have found this podcast to be extremely helpful in my journeys and work. Nick's direct knowledge of shamanic techniques from two distinct traditions is evident throughout the episodes. His strong ethical approach and sound advice make this podcast a trusted source for those looking to explore shamanic practices.
One of the best aspects of The 3Worlds - The Shamanism Podcast is Nick's authentic and realistic approach to the subject matter. He emphasizes the demanding nature of shamanic practices and highlights the potential dangers for practitioners who lack knowledge, real power, and the ability to communicate with spirits. This honesty is refreshing and ensures that listeners are well-informed before delving into these practices. Additionally, Nick's ability to provide an honest account of what happens in the other dimension adds depth and credibility to his teachings.
Another great aspect of this podcast is its rarity in terms of the knowledge it offers. As someone who has studied shamanism for many years and worked with various teachers, I can confidently say that this podcast is one of the greatest teachings on these topics available outside of a one-on-one apprenticeship or workshop context. Nick's vast experience shines through in each episode, making it clear that he possesses a deep understanding of shamanism.
While there are many positive aspects to The 3Worlds - The Shamanism Podcast, there are also areas for improvement. Some listeners may find that there could be more frequent updates as the last episode recorded by Nick himself was about a year ago. Additionally, while Nick's conversational style adds warmth to the podcast, some may prefer a more structured or lecture-like format depending on their personal preference.
In conclusion, The 3Worlds - The Shamanism Podcast is a valuable and rare find for anyone interested in shamanic practices. Nick Breeze Wood's knowledge, experience, and ethical approach make this podcast an exceptional resource. Despite some areas for improvement, the warmth and engaging speaking style of Nicholas make each episode enjoyable to listen to. I highly recommend this podcast to those looking to deepen their understanding of shamanism and explore indigenous healing traditions.
