Healing Slumber

(• • • Life,  or   • •  or  • • • Mind,  or   • • or  • • • • Spirit)                 

Dreamspeakers Tradition Book  67

By drumming up a trance, the shaman lulls a wounded person to sleep.  During his treatment, spirit allies and the Dreamspeaker herself caress the patient's wounded body, soul and mind.  Whatever ills the Art can cure are repaired while the subject sleeps peacefully, unaware of the straining shaman who eases his pain.

[Several variations exist.  A simple Life 3/ Mind 2/ Spirit 2 ritual cures the body like normal healing magick, and brings good dreams and positive spirit energy besides.  More advanced medicines (Life 3/ Mind 4/ or Spirit 4) are necessary to cure mental illness, spiritual possession or both.  The "acceptability" of this healing medicine depends on how severe and how obvious the injuries were and how quickly they were cured.]
