Mike Jay · Priest of the Devil: On Shamanism
‘Shamanism’, as a concept, is of course a Western invention, and from the earliest cross-cultural encounters it was...
‘Eliade’s “ecstasy”, and the many varieties of “trance” and “possession”, are less about the shaman’s mental processes and more to do with the communication they facilitate.’

Speaking for myself as an EAA member and one half of the TEA editorial team, I do not condone the recent series of decisions and announcements made by the EAA’s Executive Board.
During the events of the last few days of the EAA Annual Meeting 2025, I too have been dismayed, frustrated, and confused (and angered) by the Executive Board’s decisions and announcements. On a personal note, I supported the EAA’s initial boycotting of Israeli institutional affiliations being presented at the 2025
AM. Just as banning institutional affiliations of Russian and Belarusian members has been the EAA’s policy since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, this was appropriate and clearly followed precedent and policy. Frankly, I felt that this was the very least that could be done to call out the humanitarian crisis being perpetrated on the Palestinian people. It is not antisemitism to call out Israel’s state policies of genocide. Just as it is not condoning the atrocious Oct. 7th actions of HAMAS in calling for Israel and its allies to stop this madness. The decision to retract the policy against acknowledging Israeli institutional affiliations at the Meeting was short-sighted and reactionary. Certainly, these were not unanimous decisions.
Editors of TEA have no say in the Executive Board’s decisions, their decision-making processes, or the discussions that lead to them. TEA is first and foremost beholden to its readership of EAA members and beyond. We do work closely with some Executive Board members in the development of various aspects of TEA issues and features, which makes the events currently unfolding at the 31st Annual Meeting even more bitter and confounding. Subsequent Executive Board announcements attempting to circumvent the rising backlash among members were equally confusing and short sighted. Colleagues and I co-chaired a session on Tuesday in which we explicitly refused to comply with the Sept. 2 announcement that threatened to silence sessions and presenters for expressing their freedom of speech in calling out the genocide in Gaza.
I only hope that the frustrating and dismal events playing out in the EAA right now may ultimately lead to some sort of positive change within the organization – change that will reflect not only the voices of EAA’s members but of those most marginalized, mistreated, and harmed by conflict and evil around the world.
popping my head in to post this on behalf of and at the request of my very dear friend and colleague matt walsh who is not very online. #eaa2025
