Shamanism and its connection with the sacred. Our study focuses on the shamanic
ritual context as a metaphysical category that is more abstract symbolic manifestation

recurrent cataloged according to predefined universal canons , without admitting it as
a socio -cultural phenomenon linked to the sacred, own Worldview of Los Andes. | |
