Fascinating Guide Through Shamanism

Plant Spirit Shamanism is a wonderful book detailing some cultural and religious practices of shamanism. But more than that, it's an important guide and sign post for those of us who are taking that first step into the jungle as explorers. It is very interesting, has loads of exercises with each chapter - and is overall a powerful read.

Enlightening! Must Read for all Spiritual practioners

I read a lot of books on spritiality, spiritualism etc, but this book shows the way to spirituality, which is very simple and right in front of us. I was born and brought up in India, I have seen a lot of spiritual practices being followed in India, I did not know why people do them, this book answered all my questions, this is a must book for each and everyone of us to understand nature and to realize that we are not alone. Some aspects of this book regarding pusanga, etc are debatable, but overall this book is a eye-opener, it changed my life and affirmed my faith and love in God and Nature.

helped me connect with Gaia on a much deeper level

Brilliant book, well written, insightful and mind blowing. I was camping when I read it and have a totally different respect and understanding of mother earth now, to understand the consciousness has helped greatly. I highly recommend this book! You will never look at plants, grass, trees earth in the same way again!
