About This Quote
The word shaman, which is a Mongolian word, means "one who is possessed by the spirits". The word shaman is also used as a derogatory term for those who have been possessed by an evil spirit, as in "that shaman is possessed with the devil". In some ways, this phrase reminds us of the saying "peacocks strut to show their feathers." In other words, one's actions are measured by how they appear to others. Shamans are not necessarily evil people.
They are people who have been called upon by a higher power to help others. They are people who have been called upon by a higher power to help others.
