Thought this would be an interesting post. People can get confused about what to call more than one shaman.
Merriam-Webster may be of help here:
Main Entry: sha·man
Pronunciation: \ˈshä-mən, ˈshā- also shə-ˈmän\
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural shamans
Etymology: ultimately from Evenki (Tungusic language of Siberia) šamān
Date: 1698
1 : a priest or priestess who uses magic for the purpose of curing the sick, divining the hidden, and controlling events
2 : one who resembles a shaman; especially : high priest 3
So now you know. And it can be pronounced shaw-muhn, shay-mawn, or shuh-mawn (don't call me a she-man please).
