Reblogged from Nietzsche's hairs:
Shamanic "magic" means the ways that a shaman may use his psyche for achieving particular ends. It's where shifts of consciousness pertain. It might be argued, and quite reasonably so, that this shamanic "magic" has nothing to do with reality. Reality, as it were, abides on the non-magic side of things, by definition. Reality is that place, the range of experiences and the condition of being where things do not change "magically".
This one needs very careful reading
