I don't think a shaman is anything like a magician, they both use magic(k), but they are not alike. A shaman is a healer, a magician is an explorer. A shaman may explore, and a magician may heal, but the shamans "function" is to heal, a magicians "function" is to explore. A shaman also usually has a community to look after, isn't really a shaman without people to look after, a magician is a loner for the most part. A mystic may not use magick at all, a magician may be a mystic, but a mystic is not a magician. Jalaludin Rumi was not a magician, or maybe he was, seeking a mystic experiance may be an act of magick, but most mystics don't really use the siddhis for anything else. So a mystic might use magick, but not for it's own sake. |
