I saw some book about shamanism in a nearby witchcraft store, but the next time I went there the shop was gone. Does anyone here know about shamanism or practice it?

Maybe not Shamans but some fine ladies who may have some information and resources you might be interested in.
 
''Astrotheology and shamanism: the pagan roots of christianity'' might be a reasonable starting point

Also exploring the erowid site: https://www.erowid.org/

A lot of people are travelling to places that specialise in Ayahuasca or Iboga but the quality of the places and the brew they offer no doubt varies so listening to testimonials might be a good idea if you decided to take that step

There are some brujos giving people bad shit so make sure you are with people you trust

I practice some aspects of it: Soul Retrievals, certain healing techniques, crystal and feather medicine techniques,and guiding others towards finding their power animals.

A Shaman is a spiritual leader, who practices Earth-based spirituality. They know and use the power of the Four Directions to aid them in their work. They are very in tune with all aspects of nature and its healing properties. They encourage others to do the same as a part of their healing journey. A critical part of becoming a Shaman is overoming a "health crisis" so that you can become a powerful source of healing for others once you have healed yourself, for they know one can only heal others to the extent that they have healed themselves.

That's Shamnism in a nutshell based on my experience with studying from a few over the past two and a half years. One was Lakota, One was Cherokee, and one is Brazilian.
 
Shaman is someone who practices being a spirit medium to help aid the souls of the living and the dead. They are different from a regular medium in that they can use their own body as a gateway to travel to spiritual planes that the living or the dead souls can get trapped in. Most of the time the shamans are there to rescue, guide and heal. There are many types of shamans from around the world. You have to be more specific about which type you are interested in. In most cultures; to become a shaman you must be called to do it from a higher realm. Sudden tantric dreams, visions, being in posession are symptoms shamans experience when they first get called to be a shaman. it is also a very isolating life as being close to nature is emphasized. In Siberia and Mongolia you have to travel far out into the mountains and forests to actually get a reading or healing done by an authentic shaman.
 
A nice film portraying mongolian shamanism is 'the story of the weeping camel'

It's a slow moving film but beautifully shot and like a lot of good films it builds upto the end

so yours is based on native american shamanism! can you give an example of a simple technique you use?
 
It is said that the shaman swims where the schizophrenic drowns.
 
I don't know much about Shamanism... it really depends on the ethnic group and/or tribe. I've just studied Stregheria because of a friend being into it - which is old Italian witchcraft.
