I really don't have any problem with what the shaman is planning to do. What's the harm? As Dok pointed out, we're all basically on the same page here. I am not a believer, but even so I choose to view and accept this as a symbolic act of protest. It can be seen as a response that is commensurate to the Bishop's symbolic action. Meet metaphysical invocation with metaphysical counterinvocation, basically.
I happen to be friends with another American shaman. (His shamanistic practice is purely coincidental to our friendship.) From what I can tell, North American shamans concentrate on healing and counteracting negative or evil influences of a metaphysical, spiritual nature. Their approach is positive and non-violent. They do not promote or participate in acts of warfare or retribution and they do not advocate any deed or process that is intended to cause harm, from what I have seen. Many also engage in concrete activities in the observable world (i.e., what you and I regard as real) to promote peace and harmony, including working to counteract bigotry, social injustice and poverty. All in all, they aren't bad people to have on your side.

lol, i was about to ask if you had heard about it. I was curious where it was and started Googling, but couldn&#039;t find anything other than this guy spamming related comment threads. I&#039;m guessing there are about as many people in his little club as there are new black panthers

There&#039;s also a Medina just outside of Seattle. Maybe Bill Gates lives there?
Where the fuck is Neilist? I miss him.
Dude could write well, no question. He kinda lost it with the Gabby Giffords shooting.
Hey, it&#039;s not easy working Cole Porter and Hedley Lamarr into a wonket comment, especially given that wonket doesn&#039;t allow comments
Well, Missouri has Cabool, which says a lot about geography and spelling instruction in Missouri.

<i> he probably still believes in stoning women. But it has no place in TV news in a civilized society.</i>
No, actually that would be a toss-up between Bill O&#039;Reilly and Rush Limpballs.
...is Bashir in the same terrorist cell as Obama and Timothy Mcviegh?!?!
Which state will go Islamic first? I say Illinois, which already has a Cairo.
