Shaman 2016 Wall Calendar portrays the artist's works of shamans. Shamanism—the oldest of religious systems—demands from its practitioner the agility to transcend the boundaries of space and time, the sympathy to consult with the animal and wind deities, the courage to venture into inconceivable realms, and the stamina to bring back the wisdom he or she has sought there. Susan Seddon Boulet (American, b. Brazil, 1941–1997) took a strong personal interest in shamanism, charting the course of her spiritual journey and creating images that speak to the multidimensional space in which the shaman travels. Excerpts from Native American poems, statements, ceremonies, prayers, and songs accompany the calendar’s twelve images.
