Some of the shamanic practices of the Greek religion were l ...

| | | | | axis mundi: Encyclopedia II - Neolithic - Neolithic Religion The Neolithic Religion was the major religion during the main Neolithic Period in Europe. There appeared to be veneration of a Mother Goddess/Father God, the Serpent, the Sun and the Moon. This religion appears to have been the ancestor of the Indo-European Religion and the Afro-Asiatic Religion (See Indo-European/Semitic religious similarities).
Neolithic - Origins.

| | | | | axis mundi: Encyclopedia II - Shamanism - Shamanism and New Age The New Age movement imported some ideas from shamanism as well as Eastern religions. As in other such imports, the original users of these ideas frequently condemn New Age use as misunderstood and superficial.
At the same time, there is an endeavor in occult and esoteric circles to reinvent shamanism in a modern form, drawing from core shamanism, a set of beliefs and practices synthesized by Michael Harner and often revolving around the use of ritual drumming and dance; various indigenous forms of shamanism, often focusing on the rit ...

| | | | | axis mundi: Encyclopedia II - Neolithic - Farming A significant and far-reaching shift in human subsistence and lifestyle was to be brought about in those areas where crop farming and cultivation were first developed, then gradually improved. In these areas, the previous reliance upon a more nomadic hunter-gatherer subsistence technique was at first supplemented, and then increasingly replaced by, a reliance upon the yield produced from cultivated lands. These developments are also believed to have greatly encouraged the growth of settlements, since it may be supposed that the increased nee ...

| | | | | axis mundi: Encyclopedia II - China - Political history Before unification by the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC, "China" did not exist as a coherent entity. The Chinese civilization consisted of a patchwork of several states, each ruled by a king (王), duke (公), marquess (侯), or earl (伯). Although there was a central king who held nominal power, and powerful hegemons sometimes held considerable influence, each state was ruled as an independent political entity. This is also the time of the beginnings of Confucian philosophy and that of many other philosophies that greatly influ ...
