Guides and teachers are human like entities found in your visions, dreams and journeys. They are powerful entities from which you may receive help, advice and information. Some of them will teach you directly about the power and mystery of shamanism. Others are representatives of inner dynamics within your life, or they represent potentials best accessed through interaction with a human type figure. Most of them come and go, only staying long enough to help with a specific problem, or relating to a specific situation in your life. Some though will stay with you to guide you throughout your whole life.
