Tao Te Ching

“We find a shamanic aspect in practically all the hunting cultures because they’re individual… hunters are trained in individual skills that require very special talents and abilities. When the big emphasis became settled village life, the shaman lost power… The shamans were reduce to a kind of clown society. They are magicians of a special power, but their power is now subordinate to a larger society.”
