Soul Fragments - Calling Back your soul

[thecyfarwydd]

I'm just curious if anyone had heard of calling back soul fragments, and if so any information they could give me or point me in the right direction would be very much appreciated

This post is kind of an odd coincidence, because my dietitian suggested soul retrieval to me last week, and my therapist seconded it. I think it's a shamanic technique, but that's about all I know about it. I'll ask and let you know!

Why would your dietician and therapist suggest that??? I'm sorry but have you looked at the certificates of either, because ummm decent professionals to the best of my knowledge would not suggest that.

I take it that both your dietitian and your therapist lack professional degrees, because... wow. I can't imagine a reputable medical practitioner suggesting such a course of action (or at least not one I'd ever trust).

To have a dietitian recommend a New Age woo-woo technique is rather out in left field IMO. But hey, I'm a meanie poo-poo head sceptic... don't mind me.

ETA: I should point out that soul retrieval has a long and venerable history as an ethnic shamanic practice. However, I somehow doubt that your dietician plans to send you to the Tunguska region of Russia for treatment.

Thank you for putting that more coherently.

caveat, I can see a therapist recommending it, if they knew of someone and the ritual worked(if they were Pagan) or may help via the placebo method. But they would recommend someone to help the person not have them do it on their own.

However, I have not seen the concept of "soul fragments" outside of Core Shamanism and forms of neo-shamanism derived from Core Shamanism. In what I've read of the ethnographic literature, many cultures identify multiple souls, but they don't "fragment". That's a very modern--indeed reductionist--view. I suspect the concept of "soul fragments" is the bastard offspring of the concept of multiple souls and the Jungian concept of complexes as functioning autonomously.

In a worldview in which each soul is a discrete entity, "fragmenting" would imply dismemberment and probably death.

That's a strange thing for a dietitian to suggest 0_o

Yeah I thought it was a shamanic technique too.
Seems that is.

Anyways Thanks for taking the time to read and reply to my post

Yes it is strange that a dietician who focuses on helping you eat healthy and get more nutrients into your body to suggest you do a Shamanic ritual. It's akin to your mechanic suggesting you need to cleanse your car with florida water because someone may have hexed it.
