Five Paths

One trail. Five traditions.

Wolf, voodoo, Japan, Egypt, Daoism. Each tradition a continent of its own — yet connected by the same old current.

Wolf Shamanism

Iron will. Patience. Protection. Pack power. The way of the wolf as a companion of the soul.

More

Voodoo

Baron Samedi at the threshold. Maman Brigitte at the fire. The Loa of the three families as living spirits.

More

Japanese Shamanism

Shinto, Shugendō, Onmyōdō. Kami in trees and stones. The quiet magic of Japan.

More

Egyptian Shamanism

Horus as sun and moon. Ra as cleansing fire. Gods that are animals — shamanism barely anyone names as such.

More

Daoist Shamanism

Shamanic Daoism. Chanmi Qigong. Bagua. Taichi in spiritual context.

Where do you stand right now?

Two paths. For those just arriving — and for those who have walked far already.

You feel something is there · but don't yet know what.

Start with the perception test. It shows you which abilities are laid down in you. Then our list opens the traditions, rituals and initiations to you — no obligation, no wellness chatter.

You already practice · but seek a depth you haven't yet found.

Events and individual initiations are directly bookable. No call required. Mark and Eileen work with practitioners across all traditions — if you are already on the way, the next depth is here.

The call has arrived.

If you read this far, something in you answered. The perception test shows you what the call is about. The Master Path shows you where it leads.

Common Questions

FAQ

What is Shamanic Worlds?
Shamanic Worlds is a platform for five shamanic traditions — wolf shamanism, voodoo, Japanese, Egyptian and Daoist shamanism. Held by Dr. Mark Hosak (PhD in East Asian art history, researcher and practitioner in the Shingon tradition) and Eileen Wiesmann (historian, PhD candidate focused on Daoist ritual in Japanese folk magic).
Do I need prior experience?
No. The path begins exactly where you stand. The free perception test is the recommended starting point — it shows you which abilities are laid down in you and which path fits.
Is this hands-on energy work or deeper?
Clearly deeper. Wolf shamanism and the other traditions include ritual, initiation, ancestor work, work with power animals and spirits, trance journeys, shamanic healing drumming, handling negative influences. Energy work is one part of it — not the whole.
How do you book the Master Path?
Through the list. All three tiers — Standard, Premium and VIP — start with an opt-in. From there we walk with you through an email sequence. Calls and bookings follow during or after the sequence. Individual events and short initiations are directly bookable.
Where do your teachings come from?
From over thirty years of lived practice and academic research. Mark spent three years at Kyoto University, walked the 88-temple Shikoku pilgrimage, and carries the ninjutsu lineage of Taguchi Sensei. Eileen researches Daoist ritual in Japanese folk magic from a religious-history angle. Both received the traditions first-hand from masters in their respective lineages.
