How to be a Shaman

Revered as wise men in ancient societies, shamans were skilled in performing communcal rituals, conveying advice from the spirit world, and healing the sick. They would also make journeys between this world and the under or upper worlds. This book provides a modern interpretation of some of these historical tribal traditions, including those of the North American Indians, Inuits and Siberian tribes, and offers practical ways to interpret shamanic ritual and relate to the natural world.
