The Importance of Tradition in Shamanism
Shamanism is deeply influenced by both tradition and whatever works for whoever is doing it at any given point in space time. As a group migrates to new regions, accumulates new information or a shaman's apprentice takes over based on whatever the spirits are telling them, the practices of that group evolve over time. The only reason to follow tradition is if it continues to work, otherwise, what good is it? If your tradition prevents you from getting eaten, okay. Keep doing it.
