CarumSarene

<p>I was born in the city, and grew up most of my life either happy or in some form of sadness. I had moved to the suburbs as I was a child, and recently had recovered from selective amnesia, where I've completely forgotten all trauma and negative impacts in my life.</p>
<p>Since a child, I have worked with natural healing, working as young as the age of three. I still practice to this day, and hope to move onto the path of shamanism and become an advanced natural healer for the poor and homeless.</p>
<p>I sing, and make art as side hobbies, however I do not really care to make progress in them. Especially since I put myself to sleep sometimes when I sing. (^^") I am more focused on shamanism, and am still working to become one to this day. I class myself as a temp-shaman, since I am not fully on the path there.</p>
<p>If you ever need medical advice, or someone to vent to, I will always make myself open to you. I care.</p>

<p>I don't have skype. But I plan to make one eventually. I make maps in my free time and have experience with making amazing advertisements. I take requests and don't expect anything in return for my work.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I am currently enrolled in college, my second semester. However, I do not plan to return in the Fall. My parents do not want to be constantly telling me to do my work. I'm not lazy, I just like to take my time on things. (^^") B-Type person in a family of aggressively A-Type people, oh well. I had planned to take more writing courses too.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I plan to possibly join the Peace Corps some time in the future. However, joining the Peace Corps means being gone for at least two years or even more. Perhaps when I'm around twenty two or so I'll participate, this still being up for debate.</p>

<p>Shamans are special spiritualists and healers found amongst many different aspects of pagan religions. Native Americans, Chinese, and several other cultures have all had shamans in them. The word "Shaman" comes from an ancient Chinese dialect that translates to "One who knows". Shamans are born with at least one main ability of three: Healing, Foreseeing, and speaking with the dead. Of those abilities, there are sub abilities as well that can relate. Shamans are incredibly passive in their ways, and a very non-conformist to modernized society. Most shamans that are still alive to this day are either part-time in Native American reserves, part-time in festivals, or common place among most third world countries. The religious aspect of western shamans is that they believe in a "Mother Earth" known to some as Gaia. Gaia has many children, spirits who live in any living thing such as trees, plants, and animals. Those shamans collect spiritual energy given from her and her children to heal others and perform their rituals. Spring is celebrated as a time of awakening, and Winter is celebrated as a time of slumber. Like other pagans, Shamans believe in the same seasonal holidays. With Samhain (October 31st) being the start of Gaia's sleep, and Imbolc (January 31st) being the first stirrings of Gaia's womb, as her children awaken. The start of the rainy seasons (March and April) is taken as a sign that the spirits are re-descending upon the world, and the start of spring coming soon behind.</p>
