Healers of North American Indians are called medicine men, since they have assimilated knowledge concerning human beings, nature and the cosmos. This knowledge they use in rituals in order to re-establish a balance between an individual or a group and the other components. Africans are fetish sorcerers, oracle priests, or izangomas. Knowledge is kept secret and is secretly transmitted. Magic plays an important role and can be used for either curative or letal intentions. Balinese, Brazilians and Haitians are temple dancers, mediums, Voodoo, or Candomblé priests. Spirit possession occurs spontaneously unable to control the trance state. In Korea and the Amazon the archaic healing technique takes a fierce and competetive form. Healers and shamans fight for their power and influence status – both in the visible, material world as well as in the invisible world of spirits and demons. In Nepal, Ladakh and Mongolia shamans are working together, support each other In healing ceremonies, and respect their varying abilities. However, the shamanic universe in its essence is cyclic – neither variation is better or worse. They all serve the same goal: the unity and health of body, spirit and soul and the balancing of family, society, nature, and cosmos. from the introduction of Dr. Claudia Müller-EbelingContent:Quote:EINLEITUNG UND ÜBERBLICK INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW NICHT AUE HEILER SIND SCHAMANEN – EIN ÜBERBLICK ÜBER DIE VIELFALT DER HEILMETHODEN Not all Healers are Shamans -A Survey about the Variety of Healing Methods Claudia Müller-Ebeling 13/17 EIN SCHAMANISCHES MANIFEST: DIE PRINZIPIEN INDIGENEN WISSENS A Shamanic Manifesto: The Principles of Indigenous Knowledge Stanley Krippner 21 / 29 VOM SCHAMANENTUM ZUR MODERNEN NATURTHERAPIE From Shamanism to Nature Therapy Holger Kalweit 37/45 GEBET UND SPIRITUELLE HEILUNG IM MEDIZINISCHEN UMFELD Prayer and Spiritual Healing in Medical Settings David Aldridge 53 / 65 ALTE WELT / OLD WORLD Europa und westliche Kulturen Europe and western cultures MAGISCH-RELIGIÖSE HEILRITUALE IN DER ZENTRALSCHWEIZ Magic-Religious Healing Rituals in Central Switzerland Kurt Lussi 77/87 MAGISCHE HEILUNG – VOLKSMEDIZINISCHE PRAKTIKEN DES VULTURGEBIETES SÜDITALIENS Traditional Healing in the Vulture Area of Southern Italy Andrea Pieroni & Cassandra Leah Quave 97 / 109 Afrika /Africa DIE PRAXIS EINER PEPO HEILERIN IN TANSANIA The Practice of a PEPO Healer in Tanzania Jessica Erdtsieck 119/ 133 IGBO HEILER UND WEGE ZUR HEILUNG VON GEISTESKRANKHEITEN IN SUDOST NIGERIA Igbo Medicine: Practitioners and Ways of Healing Insanity in Southeast Nigeria Patrick Iroegbu 145 / 157 DIE MAFA IN NORDKAMERUN The Mafa in Northern Cameroon Godula Kosack 169 / 183 SÜDAFRIKANISCHE MEDIZINPFLANZEN IN DER ZULU-VOLKSMEDIZIN Medicinal Plants Used in Zulu Folk Medicine John A.
