Shamanism is not confined to a single country or region. It is a widespread phenomenon, existing in various forms across the globe. For instance, in the forests of the Amazon, indigenous tribes have their own shamans, known as “curanderos” in Spanish, who use plant medicines like ayahuasca to heal and connect with the spiritual realm. In Africa, the Sangoma and Inyanga of South Africa’s Zulu culture serve as spiritual healers and divinersii. Similarly, in remote villages in Indonesia, shamans known as “Dukun” use their unique blend of animism and mysticism to guide their communitiesiii. The Shaman known as Ochai in the Jamatia tribe is the High Priest of the community, a mediator between the gods and the devotees. A man who performs miracles by chanting mantras and offerings which can only be explained logically because the cure does happen. Ochai is also revered as the bringer of godly peace and blessings, any rituals, festivals, pujas, or social gatherings, including childbirth and marriage, are incomplete without his blessing. There are times when huge debates occur between practitioners of modern medicine and those who live in remote villages as Ochai with his knowledge in traditional medicines is capable of curing broken limbs which the patient had been advised to have amputated.
