Chamanismo

Descriptor	chamanismo
Término(s) alternativo(s)	shamanismo
Nota de alcance:	Situación intermedia entre el politeísmo y el monoteísmo basada en un "Gran Espíritu", con menos deidades subordinadas. Con el comienzo del chamanismo surgió la figura del curandero o brujo, que consideraba que existía una relación de supervisión de las enfermedades y su curación. Formalmente, el chamanismo es una religión de las personas uraloaltaicas del norte de Asia y Europa, que se caracteriza por la creencia de que el mundo invisible de los dioses, demonios y espíritus ancestrales responde exclusivamente a los chamanes. Los indios de Norteamérica y Sudamérica realizan prácticas religiosas que son similares a las del chamanismo uraloaltaico. La palabra chamán viene del tungúsico samán (Manchuria y Siberia), que significa monje budista. El CHAMÁN trata la enfermedad casi totalmente por medios psicoterapéuticos; aleja los demonios de la enfermedad adoptando actitudes aterradoras. (Traducción libre del original: Garrison, An Introduction to the History of Medicine, 4th ed, p22; Webster, 3d ed)

Nota de alcance:

An intermediate stage between polytheism and monotheism, which assumes a "Great Spirit", with lesser deities subordinated. With the beginnings of shamanism there was the advent of the medicine man or witch doctor, who assumed a supervisory relation to disease and its cure. Formally, shamanism is a religion of Ural-Altaic peoples of Northern Asia and Europe, characterized by the belief that the unseen world of gods, demons, ancestral spirits is responsive only to shamans. The Indians of North and South America entertain religious practices similar to the Ural-Altaic shamanism. The word shaman comes from the Tungusic (Manchuria and Siberia) saman, meaning Buddhist monk. The SHAMAN handles disease almost entirely by psychotherapeutic means; he frightens away the demons of disease by assuming a terrifying mien. (From Garrison, An Introduction to the History of Medicine, 4th ed, p22; from Webster, 3d ed)
