An Excellent Introduction to Shamanism!

I am always a bit suspicious of books that makes claims such as the subtitle of this one: "The only introdution you'll ever need." However, Leo Rutherford does an excellent job of covering the major aspects of Shamanism in enough detail to give the novice (or curious) a basic sense of what is entailed in this ancient spiritual path-- all in a scant 160 pages.The book-- in a concise fashion-- covers a definition of Shamanism and mythology, then introduces the reader briefly to the concepts of the Medicine Wheel; the "tools" of Shamanic living-- including ceremony and ritual; journeying and soul retrievals-- including "non-ordinary" realities; Trance Dancing as a path to healing; and "Teacher" plants from nature. Rutherford concludes with a section on "Shamanism Today," and includes an appendix with assorted resources-- however, please note that the resources are somewhat "skewed" towards the UK, where this book was published.Final thoughts: Highly recommended! (10 out of a possible 10 bookmarks) Very readable, and highly worthwhile, introductory text on Shamanism.

and the journey begins

This is a great guide and over-view of all the major aspects of shamanism!!
