thank you.
Indeed, nice words, and apologies for the verbosity. Think not that a warrior only fights a war, but in this context, that life, and the paths that life throws as us, is the war. In this case the warrior should tread fearlessly. As you have said, accountability.

Nice one. I asked as it comes up in (the idea of a warrior so to speak) lots of cultures and beliefs. At this stage though, calling is specifically 'shamanism' I think is too specific.

But hey, was nice to read your answer. Did you have any specific reading in mind?
