I can't believe that there isn't a plane ol' "Chiron" thread here? :? Now there is. One location where we all can discuss this mysterious archetype and how it manifests in our lives and consciousness. As I've mentioned before, with Chiron conjunct my Sun, this energy is really important to me and I want to understand it as best I can. I also think we all should know Chiron much more consciously.
Anyway, I found this old but wonderful article by Eric Francis - "Chiron and Shamanism". I think Shaman added to Chiron's list of qualities it will make understanding Chiron and Chirotic energies much easier for many people.
What Shamans are, what they're capable of doing both in the physical world and the nonphysical ones, is highly Chiron like in so many ways. Chiron so easily walks between the worlds and can function both in and out of 'time' and works on healing, exorcising, integrating, many things on many different levels. All highly Shamanistic abilities. I think Chiron's gotten a really limited understanding being labeled "wounded healer" or "maverick". Shaman IS what Chiron's all about IMO.
Plus another highly important fact that astrologers either forget or overlook is that Chiron taught Astrology amongst many other of the 'Arts'. Because of this I'd think that Chiron's natal placement and aspects etc., would also indicate one's abilities to become a knowledable 'Shamanic Astrologer Healer' etc.
