Voices
From the practice.
People who have worked with Dr. Mark Hosak and Eileen Wiesmann — in live events, on the Master Path, in the books or in the Dōjō. Their experiences in their own words.
Individual experience. Every voice on this page is a personal account. Results may vary and depend on prior experience, openness, life circumstances and many other factors. Shamanic work does not replace medical or psychological treatment. [Testimonials originally given in German and translated into English.]
Wolf Shaman Master Path
On the Master Path
The Master Path has opened a new perspective for me. The combination of shamanic depth and practice that fits daily life is rare to find. [translated from German]
What makes the difference: a person equally at home in martial arts and in shamanism · and who shares without promising anything. [translated from German]
The pilgrimage tradition · especially the experience of long, silent days · uncovered a depth in me I had not known before. [translated from German]
Wolf Shamanism
From the wolf lineage
The encounter with the wolf in the drum journey anchored itself in me. Since then I feel different in difficult situations · more grounded, clearer. [translated from German]
Pack, territory, stillness · those three words have moved into my daily life. I notice when I need pack and when I need to clear the territory. [translated from German]
The Great Wolf across three cultural spheres — Ōkami, Anubis, Fenrir — showed me that the wolf is not only a Nordic theme. That opened the whole work for me. [translated from German]
Japanese Shamanism
From the Japanese lineage
Kuji Kiri in a shamanic context · not as an anime gimmick, but as a protective practice when entering crowded places · has shifted my perception. [translated from German]
Meeting Fudō Myōō is not something you understand in advance. You meet him, and afterwards you know what he is. For me one of the most formative experiences. [translated from German]
Misogi under the waterfall · the first time it was frightening. From the second time on I understood why this practice has been kept for centuries. [translated from German]
Voodoo
From the voodoo lineage
Papa Legba as the first invocation opened a door for me. Not metaphorically · I feel the difference whether I greet him in the morning or not. [translated from German]
Baron Samedi made me see death differently. Not as an end · as a threshold where laughter is allowed. That carried me through a phase of grief. [translated from German]
Meeting Ogou in ceremony · no theatre, no role-play · a presence that cannot be mistaken. Hard to describe, easy to recognise. [translated from German]
Egyptian Shamanism
From the Egyptian lineage
The encounter with Isis in ritual work · especially in a phase when something in my life had broken · I experienced as deeply effective. [translated from German]
Ma'at as a principle · the feather against which the heart is weighed · changed my image of justice. It is not something outer. It is the inner. [translated from German]
Daoist Shamanism
From the Daoist lineage
Work at the dantian in qigong practice · at first abstract, after months a concrete experience. The body becomes different when one gathers there. [translated from German]
Walking Bagua · in circles around your own centre · has become moving meditation for me. I walk it daily now, even if only for five minutes. [translated from German]
Spiritual Martial Arts
From the warrior lineage
Engaging with the inner aspects of warriorhood helped me align myself differently — both in martial arts and in life. [translated from German]
Swordsmanship in the Taguchi style makes me perceive technique more strongly than raw force. Fascinating, and it opens deep layers. [translated from German]
Ninjutsu training brings variety and intensity · weapons are part of the path from the start, which keeps it alive and practical. [translated from German]
Knife training unfolded for me · practice became graceful, intuitive movement. I can apply it even without a knife. [translated from German]
Stick training showed me real technique · I can apply the movements without weapons too. Not theoretical drills, but actual practice. [translated from German]
The advanced drills let me grasp the interconnections of the martial arts very quickly. The method here is unique. [translated from German]
Shamanism · general
Across the lineages
What I find here is not esoteric self-help. It is a serious shamanic lineage that can hold its own academically. [translated from German]
Drumwork made tangible for me, for the first time, what is meant by "shamanic journey" · before it was a word, now it is an experience. [translated from German]
The ancestor connection shifted something in my family. Nothing dramatic · a quiet that was not there before. [translated from German]
