Shamanic Wisdomkeepers: Shamanism in the Modern World Freke, Timothy

Description

All in color! Following the ancient religion of our ancestors, who took nature as their teacher, shamans have the power to heal, to receive visions, and to transcend their personal identities and become our representatives in the spirit world. Who are these shamans? What do they believe? What do they do? Here are the answers to those questions, in the actual words of some of the most remarkable human beings you’ll ever encounter, along with stunning color photos of the shamans at work, at home, and in traditional ceremonies. Coming from around the world–from North and South America, Europe, West Africa, Australia, and Tibet–the shamans discuss their training, how they go about their work, what “magic” powers they possess, the importance of the non-material world, and how to keep ourselves healthy in body, mind, and spirit. Each voice is unique, each message inspiring, and the implications of what they say can save lives. Trim size: 8 1/4 x 10 5/8.
