Step-by-step explanation:

For the Olmecs, a shaman was a spiritual leader who was able to cross spiritual dimensions and kingdoms and make contact with the spirits of the ancestors and with the spirits of nature. Shamans had supernatural powers and were highly respected within civilization. They received offerings constantly, which allowed them to not need to plant and could travel constantly, to improve their powers.

The shamans assumed the position of priest, healer, musician and poet.
