Urban Shamanism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urban Shamanism, also known as Digital Shamanism or Psychedelia, is an artistic school of thought born out of the social upheavals of the past four decades, the artistic and technological movements of the 20th century, and the philosophies of various non-western cultures. It parallels and is often associated with Technopaganism. Within art, the Digital Psychedelic process is the fusion of the biological and technological to elicit a mystical experience, self-realizing truth, or moment of profundity.
Komatsu Kiyoko, the founder of a Japanese "new religion" Shinmeiaishinkai, practices a form of shamanism that focuses on business-related oracles which also has been described as "urban shamanism."
