Unamuno’s own life and the life of the so-called “Generation of 1898” serves as an introduction to the meaning of the tragic sense of life in human existence and in the Christian faith. Unamuno wrote about and lived within this “tragic sense of life,” which consists of this agonizing struggle and it is the centrality of this fact which can be demonstrated in his writings.

Shamanic practice is characterised by seeking vision in solitude and is deeply rooted in the mysteries of nature. Shamans may sometimes work together in groups, but the ethos of this way of working is more of a solitary path. Those who see themselves as Shamans place great emphasis upon individual experience.
