Editorial Reviews

"Rebecca Keating has produced an introductory guide to shamanism that is both visually captivating and accessible. In clear language she captures the essence of ancient traditions devoted to honoring and interacting with the spiritual energies of life in the natural world. She presents teachings, techniques and rituals for people to begin their own personal shamanic practices. This is a beautiful book for fostering healing, interconnection, and personal empowerment in these challenging modern times."—Marilyn Keffer and Gael Carter, Founders of the Institute of Shamanic Medicine

“The ideal introduction to the non-specialist general reader with an interest in the subject — making it an especially and unreservedly recommended addition to personal, community, college, and university library Shamanism and Spiritual Self-Help reading lists and collections.”—Midwest Book Review
