Papashaman, shamanism in the Bask Country
Shamanism is a practice centered on the mediation between human beings and the spirits of nature or the souls of the game, the dead of the clan, the souls of unborn children, the souls of the sick to heal, the communication with deities, etc. It is the shaman who embodies this function, within the framework of a close interdependence with the community which recognizes it as such.
