Neoshamanism
Neoshamanism, or Neo-Shamanism, is a term applied to certain emergent shamanistic philosophies, whether they are a revival of older shamanistic beliefs and traditions or an amalgation of new-age spiritual beliefs. Neoshamanism is sometimes used as a disclaimer or qualifier, where revivalists who are trying to piece back together shattered systems must admit that the system in question no longer exists as a whole due to significant changes in the original culture, often as the result of colonisation, globalisation, or genocide.
