shamanic invocation ... probably an infinitely variable subject for ideas and opinions ... first of all, i "googled" it ...
Shamanic invocation is a spiritual practice that involves calling upon
the energies of the natural world, spiritual realms, and helping spirits
to guide and support one's journey.
Understanding Shamanic Invocation
Example of a Shamanic Invocation
Invocation Prayer:
“Great Spirits and Helping Beings, I stand here in reverence and gratitude, seeking your presence and guidance.
- In the East, I call upon the element of Air, the breath of life and the winds of change. Bless me with clarity, inspiration, and new beginnings.
- In the South, I call upon the element of Fire, the passion, transformation, and creative force. Ignite the flames within me, empowering my journey.
- In the West, I call upon the element of Water, the flow, emotions, and healing energy. Cleanse and purify my spirit, filling me with love and compassion.
- In the North, I call upon the element of Earth, the stability, abundance, and grounding energy. Root me deeply in the earth, connecting me with my ancestral wisdom.
- Above me, I call upon the Divine, God, Goddess, and Angels, the celestial beings and universal forces. Guide me with divine light and wisdom, uplifting my spirit.
- Below me, I call upon my Ancestors, the guardians and wise ones who came before me. Guide me with your ancestral wisdom, supporting my path.

Purpose and Significance
Conclusion
You might wonder, if you are English, about the trajectory of beliefs that might join the practices of the Ancient Druids with Shakespeare's imagined MAGUS Prospero.
I'm not sure if Shamanistic beliefs overlap with Druidism, or with the common belief in magic that persisted through Shakespeare's times.
There's an informative discussion of the cultural context of Shakespeare's Prospero in this academic paper by Sanja MATKOVIĆ

Of course, Prospero is a lapsed Catholic at the start of the play, and becomes a lapsed Magus at the end, affirming to us only his humanistic nature when these other beliefs have been abandoned.
