Aborigines were the members of the traditional aboriginal race of Australia. These people were hunters and gathers. Kinship represented their social structuring.

was a knife thought to be the main tool used in the decapitation of trophy heads. Another image seen repeatedly in Paracas art is that of the back-bent figure, these back-bent figures almost always carry Tumi blades and clubs. In Back-Bent Figure a shaman is depicted in the act of what is believed to be auto-sacrifice. The head is bent back and appears to be removed from the body. The hole in this figure’s chest may also suggest heart extraction. These sacrifices were made as…

The Mongol way of life was primarily pastoral as they had to travel quite often to provide their livestock with enough food to survive. The Mongols lived off of their livestock and the food from the towns that they raided. As Mongol power increased, the Mongols began to conquer rather than merely pillage. As a result, by 1279, the Mongols had created the largest land-based empire ever, stretching from Asia’s Pacific coast all the way to Eastern Europe (Strayer, 466). Mongol conquests often…

According to the website, www.merriam-webster.com, medicine is seen today as “a substance that is used in treating disease or relieving pain and that is usually in the form of a pill or a liquid.” However, the Native Americans understood medicine to be greater than a medicinal tablet. Through the virtual exhibit, Native Voices: Native Concepts of Health and Illness Exhibit, and the text, Shamanism and the World of Spirits: The Oldest Religion, one can understand the Native American’s perspective…

and motifs, but nevertheless, they can all be tied together through classification systems. According to Myth and Knowing, the classifications of male and female characters are vastly different. Men can be classified through types such as Kings, Shamans, Tricksters, and Lords of Destruction, while women are more simply categorized by their desirability and actions. Pe-le, the destructive Fire Goddess, is unique and tricky in her own way. She obviously embodies the Goddess of death archetype, but…

subject wouldn’t come close to describing it. He was a visionary who saw himself as a shaman, a shooting star, and a poet amongst other things. Any fan of The Doors can tell you a plethora of information regarding Jim Morrison and each bit of information more intriguing than the last. That is the mystique and appeal that Morrison created when he set out to California and started to get in touch with the shaman we always believed to be with…

Shield Slams. The other big deal is that Ironforge Portal is a spell. It makes Yogg-Saron finally viable in CW. Atop, Yogg-Saron himself got a better after ONiK with the addition of the portal cards. With Zoo, Dragon Warrior, Tempo Mage, and Aggro Shaman all being buffed, it's the right time for an anti-aggro deck to enter the meta to prey on these archetypes. Here are some crazy stats: Since I began…

Native Americans have healers called shamans or medicine men. According to Potter, P., Perry, A., Stockert, P., & Hall, A (2013), the shaman performs “a combination of prayers, chants, and herbs to treat illnesses caused by supernatural, psychological, and physical factors.” If a nurse is caring for a Native American patient in the Emergency Department, it is appropriate to ask if the patient has a shaman when obtaining a history on the patient. Some Native American cultures…

own whims and desires. The establishment hated him, the youth loved him, and the rest of the world, didn't quite know what to make of him. Was he a genius? Was he a druggie and an alcoholic, hell bent on his own destruction? Was he a lover? Was he a shaman, one of the great mystics of our time? Or was he simply a lost soul floating through us for a brief period of time? One…

mardoc waved its exceptionally long hands at them and said in a raspy voice, “Danger. Flee. Killers. Run.” “Shaman?” Ti said and then spoke to it in the mardoc language. The shaman mardoc jolted up. Its scaly brownish-green face held no expression, but the way it bobbed its head side to the side made it look curious. It growled back in its strange language. Ti nodded and conversed with the shaman. Laurel didn’t understand any of it, but Ti seemed calm. No reason to worry yet then, as long as…
