BLACK SHAMAN
Black Shaman is a poetic odyssey through time, consciousness, and the unseen forces that shape existence. In this visionary collection, internationally acclaimed spoken word artist Marc Marcel channels the voice of a modern-day mystic, exploring the depths of self-discovery, race, reincarnation, love, and cosmic awakening.
These poems are more than words; they are incantations, rituals, and reflections of a soul navigating the infinite.From the hypnotic rhythm of Poet Rock Star, where the poet stands as both performer and prophet, to the profound introspection of There Are No Gurus, dismantling the illusion of absolute knowledge, Marcel invites readers to challenge perception and embrace the unknown. In Super Mario - Follow the Mushroom, psychedelics become a gateway to understanding the self and unraveling the nature of reality, while Scarlet Letter delves into past choices and the weight of karma. The collection also confronts deep societal themes—Race strips away the constructs of identity, revealing the cosmic insignificance of human division, and Alien Sex imagines intimacy beyond the limits of earthly experience.
​
With lyrical fire and philosophical depth, Black Shaman speaks to seekers, rebels, and visionaries—those who know they were born to break the mold. Blending raw spoken word energy with cosmic wisdom, Marcel transforms poetry into a shamanic journey, leading readers through the cyclical nature of existence, the illusions of identity, and the eternal dance between destruction and rebirth.
​
For those drawn to metaphysical insight, psychedelic mysticism, and the raw truth of poetic expression, Black Shaman is not just a book—it’s an initiation, a revelation, and a return to the infinite.
