Shamanism Meets Taoism: The Evolution and First Principles of Magic
Friday February 21, 2025 4:00pm - 5:30pm EST
Conference Room F
Step into the mystical lineage of the Wu 巫 shamans, ancient spiritual intermediaries whose practices shaped the roots of Taoist magical traditions. We will reach far back in to history and explore the cultures of the Yellow River to extract first principles that will be useful to any practice of core shamanism.
Drawing a clear evolutionary line from 3,000-year-old records of shamanism to contemporary Taoist witchcraft, we’ll reveal how these ancient traditions of the Wu have been refined and preserved within Taoist magical systems. Wu shamanism and Taoist witchcraft offer a timeless, dynamic pathway to reconciling the seen and unseen worlds, empowering you to live in alignment with the Tao.
Practical insights will be shared to help attendees integrate these principles into their personal spiritual paths, bridging tradition with modern practice. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious seeker, a mystic or an academic, this lecture gives clear and easy insights into East Asian mysticism that are otherwise hard to find in the English language.
