The bear stands as a powerful symbol of liminality, transformation, and spiritual depth. The related figure of the shaman therefore moves in the territories of transmigration and transmutation connecting worlds and different levels of existence. This text explores how ancient spiritual practices evolve through technologies like AI, VR, and algorithmic trance, creating new forms of digital shamanism. Through a folkloric, anthropological, and symbolic lens, it examines how myth and ritual adapt in contemporary contexts, inviting reflection on embodiment, vision, and altered states. While digital tools simulate sacred experience, true transformation still requires a return to the deep, relational dimension of meaning—where nature, spirit, and story converge across both physical and virtual realms.
