I was wondering....
Would it be possible for a character to change his magical path from
hermetic to shamanistic? Possibly due to a VERY traumatic experience in
his life? Say a Near Death Experience or some such thing?...

In White Wolf #27(?) they list a group of additional totems for Shadowrun
and among them is BAT. BAT, as a totem, only accepts those who have had
a near death experience-the NDE being defined as someone who "died" and
was later revived. The advantage of BAT is that such characters start as
0 level initiates. They still have to make the save vs loss of a magic
point, however.
