Shamanism & Death

Author, editor, and shamanic explorer Matthew Pallamary has

been searching the globe for answers to the truth about reality. In the

first half, he discussed his visionary experiences, shamanism, and

writing, as well as his work on attitudes about death. His book "Death: A Love Story,"

was published at the outbreak of the pandemic, and is written in the

'first person' as Death itself as a character. "If you want to know the

truth, I'm not your death, but you are mine," he writes as Death. Death

is everywhere and a part of nature, and in a way, we begin dying the

moment we are born, he stated. "Death is bigger than all of us, and it

has to do with acceptance," he added.

Pallamary talked about his latest book of short stories in the

horror/science-fiction genre, one of which is about legendary author Ray

Bradbury and alien mushrooms. On the topic of shamanism, he said it

deals more with a person's direct experience of learning about

themselves rather than what someone tells you to believe, and that all

religions have their roots in shamanic ideas. Shamanism deeply explores

"radical subjectivity," and some of people's intense visions can put

their everyday problems in perspective. He also touched on ayahuasca

experiences and how people often have similar visions of landscapes and

archetypal symbols like jaguars and condors when they drink the

psychedelic brew.
