The Rise and Risk of Shamanism The Fastest Growing Religion in Britain

#shamanism #fastestgrowingreligion #britain
Shamanism, rooted in animism and involving trances to commune with spirits, is the fastest-growing religion in the UK. In the 2021 census, the number of people identifying as shamanic rose to 8,000 from 650 in 2011.

Climate change and a desire for a spiritual outlet for political beliefs are among the reasons for its growth, as well as a rising number of therapists incorporating it into their work.

However, the title of shaman is unregulated, leading to opportunists using the term for marketing purposes without a proper understanding of its meaning.
