Christianity especially because Jesus exemplifies several shamanistic archetypes:
- Healing of the sick
- Acting as a medium/conduit between spirit and the material
- Descent to the underworld and returning (1 Peter 4:6 | Ephesians 4:9)
- The use of sacrament as a tool and symbol to commune with the higher
- Sacrifice of the material world for the betterment of the tribe (people)
The same, and others, can be said for other messiahs, saviors, and gods of mythos.
