You described a hermit, give or take the spiritual enlightenment. A shaman is someone that practices a particular type of magic. It can refer to those involved in voodoo hoodoo although more traditionally it's connected with tribes-peoples, be it those in Africa; Asia or ancient Europe. Shamans took on the "witch doctor" role as the medicine man (or woman) of the tribe. Well respected. Shamans are, for the most part, pretty sociable beasts.
