A practitioner of Shamanism, someone who can reach altered states of consciousness and has access to, and influence in, the world of benevolent and malevolent spirits, who typically enters into a trance state during a ritual, and practices divination and healing.

The notion of the shaman is fundamental to studies of the religious, ritual and ceremonial origins of theatre and performance in society. (See for example [[Performance Theory]] and the writings of Victor Turner and Richard Schechner.)
