I probably legit was being initiated but after doing more research it is decidedly dangerous for anyone who values not being demon possessed to become a shaman and while some shamans might be able to avoid becoming permanently possessed it is still taking a risk every single time that they journey so it is a no from me unless I meet a shamanic teacher who calms me down about it because rn I am like there is no freaking way I am going to make myself vulnerable to possibly more entity attachments than I am already struggling with
