The theory of Shamanism thoroughly explored by the culturologist Mircea Elide provided the poets with the opportunity of new mythological design, where through shamanistic healing they could envisage there poetical revelations. Two prominent writers Ted Hughes and Tomas Tranströmer apply this method (shamanic healing) to resolve their own psychological and personal controversies. They view shamanistic trans as an exclusive form of creative art. We can often encounter animalistic symbols and shamanistic artifacts in their poetry.
