Medicine (shamanism)
In shamanistic religions, a medicine is some magical object or ceremony,
such as a medicine bag, that is used to control and direct supernatural
forces. The term medicine also refers to the magical potential of the object
or ceremony which is used for these purposes. Among the North American
Indians, a medicine man or medicine woman is someone who professes to have
skills at manipulating supernatural forces and uses these skills to cure
sickness, drive away evil spirits, and regulate the weather.
