Hi Boogieman. Yep, this is definately the right forum for such discussions. Of course we're interested in hearing more about your religion. Feel free to add whatever you would like. Most of us learning anything new, especially in regards to spiritual practices. Sincerely, Laurasia

Great. Like I said if u got ne questions feel free, ok ill tell a lil more. Well its main principal is based on the idea that u should be open minded to all things, and the things u belive in then hold to that be open to new ideas but not changed by them. It’s made of all religions and so is ever growing and learning new things. The way its made of them all is to try and find a common ground of them all, so there is no conflicts. It also is heavy in sciences and other ways to expand ur thoughts and the way u think to truly see things from all sides. Martial arts are and have been a part of it for good of ur mind body and soul. Major things I love of it is u don’t HAVE to do ne single part of it. If u don’t want to it’s only made from ur individual belives and ideas for common good. Respect of ur environment is a big thing. I like it cuz I learned a lot form it as like Greek gods and Egyptian gods roman gods and so on are all the same thing just by a different name. However we dont elevate them to the leavel of a god. To us their are spirits and Christians call them angels. Their protectors and watchers or physical things and mental like the angel of hope and so on. Them Christian god we call the creator or god. and biggest thing of them all is the ancitents. There were sopose to be 12 of them and they would be the leaders of all the spirits and giddier of god. We have 9 elements earth fire wind water light dark void mystic and thunder.

is this the same as Shamanism/Animism? If not how is it different? Shamanism dates back to 50,000 BC approximately based on physical evidence but I think it has been around since the beginning of Mankind millions of years ago.
Also among what peoples was Shashonon practiced? How many practitioners of this religion are there? Also how did you find out about it?
thanks Lomelindo

Well it is not the same but has Shamanism as a part of it. We belive in One god who is called the creator but above him we have the aiencts which are like the kings of gods. It incoroperats any religon that is formed to show and prove that it is one belife all of mankind has. The races were vast including drudids, shaman, witches, all the way to budists and catholic. IT was vast, and grew with more religions that were created. Now days it is a dead religon. It has very few probaly less then 10 in the world now. NOt shure how it died. But it could be becouse not many records of it were ever kept. But it had influence form africa to the aztecs. I was thought it by my master he han sun. But have memories of it before i knew him... I am sorry if I'm not to informitive. But it has been awhile since i read much about Shamanism. I will brush up and then Provide you with more information.

Many shamanic native cultures believed in a creator with the spirits and gods being subordinate to the creator, or simply aspects of the creator. Is this the same as what you speak of?
there are many many variations of shamanic cultures in the world
Yes more information in its relation to Shamanism would be much appreciated

boogieman, I just read through this and was wondering if you could talk a little more on it . Maybe about initiation for the priests /elders and how the records faded out . Just anything at all really because Iv never heard of it.

well there never are relly priests, yes there are elders. But it was not just a religion it was a culture. It had many teachings, martial arts, phillosiphy, art, math, histroy, alchemy, and moral values. As well as disaplin. Yes lome it is simmler to that. Much of it was an oral tradition, and many members were known on the outside with a diffrent religion. Since many people were not allowed if one does not quallify. It was to the councle to decide weather one was able. But now with most of it all gone its less restraining. Simply the reason for the restrictions was the teachings one would learn with the rest could make you a very powerful individual among the rest of the word. You would be trained to see all things in the world by a diffrent view and how everythign works in one flow. You cant have one thing without another its all connected as is life. People often wonder about the begning of all man. When one thing is destroyed it creats new things. The first destroyed the worlds before and their destruction allowed the aenicents to create what we know as our universe today. They are the 12. Then god is the creator of manknid, and the ofther gods are like watchers. They take care watchover and empower what ever they are sent to be the god of. Like pasiden was another name for one of these gods, He garded all waters. We refure to these lower lv gods as spirits some call them angels. Then on the physical world there were the 10 gardians placed. So said in the 10 citys to watch over the world and all things within it. Unfortantly a war broke out and most of these citys were destroyed or dissapeared. these were places like Kalzack the city of immortals, or Atlanits the capital city of the gardians and the watchers of knowlage. There were 10 citiys and 10 gardians. Any how passed down after the fall of these cities man kind or humans as some would say, spreed and took over in almost an over night change. So the few survivors dissapeared and workd behind the seances to help the progress of man kind and continue the knowlage and belifes of the old world. And the connections there were in. stars were the keys to the past and the abillity to unlock knowlage. This is rumerd to be a reason why bulidings in compleatly diffrent parts of the world and siad to have come form diffrent times all line up with the stars exactly 10,200 years ago. Which recent science has been able to prove. that was the year when mankind truly became the kings of the world, when they learned by the teachings of the elders. select people form any culture or race or anyplace in the world learned and praticed shashonon. There are still many connectons that are still lost and we are trying to recover. the shashonon try and be the gardians of mankind. we honor alot of things that have been forgotten or that are seen as irrielvent. the elders are the oldest wisest and most powerful of all shashonons. like a shogon to bushido. They claim only the gods can chose who becomes an elder. They made a mistake in teaching the wrong people once. The mis use of power is a great reason for reluctence among us. But any more very few people in all the world remember anything about them. So I guess it doesnt relly matter any more. In the past shashonon was the religion of immortals. A code a belife and a passing to mortals who could bare the teachings. but of course thats all just a belife. ill try and get more about shamines next time sorry.
