Working off my own ideas (a lot of what I've stated so far comes from a parallel discussion on the Hero Wars list), I'd say the problem is definition. Yes, you have to travel to the Otherside, but in Animist cultures the titles of 'Shaman', 'Priest(ess)' and often Khan/Chief are intermingled. 'Priest' is a political position in Heortling societies, and may be so in Prax too, the actual powers being Shamanistic, but without a Fetch, instead using a Spirit Ally (or Guide), like the old RQ Allied Spirits, but disembodied. Try working through the rules on p.213 (Holy Person, Sacred Chief, Family Head) - I haven't quite worked it all out myself!

Yes, but fetishes have the advantage of a magical augmentation AND extra AP, which is not bad!
