How do you address a priest?

Is this of use?
Wiki list of Religious ranks and names

As for Shamans, they are known and called by their name. It is just used with respect. They might be referred to as "Our/The shaman XyZ" or "XyZ, our/the shaman" to a third part.
The ones that I know are neo-shamans [not that they would call themselves that] and not from a traditional Tribal/Cultural background.
I met a Navajo Singer, and he told me to call him Joshua. Being a Singer was what he did not what he was called.

 

You read the Iliad, right in the first chapter they're talking about priests and augurs, and they're pretty much all referred to by their names.

 

"Heeyyy, Abbott!" is probably not good. (Robin hood Men in tights.)

Your Holiness
Church rank would be appropriate. (Deacon, Preist, Cardinal Abbot

 

Using Catholic terminologies but if you're considering "Your Holiness" ... clerical alternatives (for positions beneath the pope) would include "Your grace" and "Your eminence" or "Your excellency".

Reverend X or "Your reverence" might also apply.

 

Hi,

Well as I understand it you start with the collar which may be buttoned ... Oops, I thought you wrote undress!!!

Cheers, Greg.

 

Note - the stamp does not go on the priest itself. Stamping on priests is discouraged.


A quick rustle through the Aeneid doesn't find any examples of priests being called anything other than priests. And while using equally shaky historical research, in the Falco novels priests are called "Sir" or by their real names. Mind you, I trust Lindsey Davis more than I trust John Dryden (for it is his translation I used).

 

I missed it, like so much the first time. If you aren't laughing all the way through you probably missed something, you might have laughed to long and missed a coupe things.
The humor comes fast and furious at times.
"Eh Blinkin."
Did you call me Abe Lincoln?"

 

In lists of famous shamans, many are simply called by the culture/region's term for shaman. Such as the name "Quam" described in Shaman Links: Quam — “The usual Turkish word for shaman.” A name meaning diviner. From: Animal and Shaman: Ancient Religions of Central Asia By Julian Baldick
