Sounds like that is the case.

See, that's one of those cases where I want the "most religions are
mixed" to come to the fore.
I don't think you need a Shaman, just a spirit-talker, just like a Godi
doesn't have to be a priest.
And the "otherworld talker" could handle both worlds (Assuming you
believe in the 3 world distinction).
The Orlanthi keep them pretty separate, though.
