They have a form of subtle essence, something that looks like a soul. The shaman is the one who knows how to make the connection between the two worlds. He speaks to the hidden dimension of things: men and plants. In this context, plants are not used for their physicochemical healing properties. But they know how to intercede for the sick. They are also able to help the shaman to change his state of consciousness to get in touch with the spirits. Beforehand, the shaman or the medicine man begs the plant to ask for its life.

Colors and moods
Colors exert a subtle action on our emotions by stimulating or soothing them, making us happy or saddening us. It seems that their impact on our psyche comes from their proximity to the natural world, the blue evoking the sky, gold the sun, etc. And among occultists, the reason is esoteric: the seven colors of the spectrum are reminiscent of the number 7. The white, in the West as in the East, by the totality of the colors it encompasses, symbolizes life and its completion. Gold, symbol of the sun and royalty, was among the ancient Greeks, associated with the idea of immortality, as the myth of the Golden Fleece tells. Green, in the Irish tradition, is the color of Tir Nan Og, the island of eternal youth. Purple is a mystical color that often serves as a medium for meditation, it unites the energy of red and the sanctity of blue. But it can also evoke sadness as recalled by the nymph Echo, who yearned for Narcissus. Written by David
