Anyone who finally wants to get to the bottom of religion and get answers to questions that have been squelched for millenium will really enjoy this book. The author takes great care to note his sources, lay out the facts carefully, and provide beautiful color illistrations. I felt scales fall away from my eyes as everything fell into a simple, scientific, and logical truth. A must read for anyone looking to move beyond religious dogma.

Truth Be Told
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Jan Irvin and Andrew Rutajit offer open-minded readers an expansive and encompassing--though not exhaustive and overwhelming--look into the depths and origins of religion around the world and throughout history. The underlying themes presented in this well written and expertly illustrated book are certainly evocative; and to the uninformed reader, some of the ideas may come as a shock, in all their profundity. But to those who are willing to set aside cultural bias (and programming), this book provides a wellspring of information that serious seekers will find both refreshing in its authenticity and liberating in its implications. The story that emerges contains within it the seeds of transformation that could play a formative role in bearing the fruit of a completely new worldview, one that reconnects humanity with our deepest and most vital selves. This book may be ahead of its time, but that time is coming, and when it does, this is the knowledge that is going to help humanity envision and eventually build a new world, one that is based on ancient and timeless truths. Highly recommended reading.
Take off the blind fold

This book, will indeed change your outlook on many topics. From the most easily misunderstood topic of religion to the dogma that surrounds the use of psychedelics and entheogens. You must realize that there's a great macrocosm to every microcosm currently on our planet - an interconnection of knowledge that has been buried. Astrotheology & Shamanism uncovers the mystery, that surrounds these topics, that was once only available to the esoteric initiates. This ancient occult knowledge, that has been suppressed throughout antiquity, is now beginning to surface and thanks to the authors of Astrotheology & Shamanism. They do a perfect job of explaining these various topics. Even a newcomer to this subject, will be able to easily absorb the information and data quickly. They provide not only solid facts, and sources, but also illustrate visually, by using detailed imagery to depict the symbolism which will allow you to better understand the topics at hand (and also provide more unquestionable evidence).
