Shamans are religious specialists who have the ability to enter a trance state in order to communicate with, and appease spirits that inhabit the seen and unseen worlds. They do this for the purposes of healing, protection from evil spirits, fertility, and for the guidance of souls of the dead. The key difference between Shamans and Witches is that Shamans enter this trance on behalf of the community. Witchcraft, however, is very individualistic and only benefits the one practicing it.
