Shamanism : a beginner's guide

The ancient wisdom of the American Indians is at the root of Shamanic practice, which teaches ways of altering one's own consciousness through the use of trance states and meditation.

This guide discusses the Shamans, their origins and powers.

It looks at the tools, drums, masks and jewellery that the shamans use as an aid to their journeys, and there are exercises for readers to practice what they have learnt.
