Product Description

Shamanism begins as a personal revelation and inner healing, then evolves into a striving for balance and healing into the Earth itself. Many spiritual seekers are interested in shamanism because it is a spiritual path that can be followed in conjunction with any religion or other spiritual belief without conflict. Shamanism has not only been practised by Native Americans and African cultures - for centuries, it was practised by the Europeans, including the Celts. This text presents a workable, modern form of Celtic shamanism that should help raise the reader's spiritual awareness. The book offers specific exercises and techniques to develop spiritual awareness and ties with the natural world: shape-shifting; divination by the Celtic Ogham alphabet; Celtic shamanic tools; travelling to and using magick in the three realms of the Celtic otherworlds; empowering the self; and journeying through meditation.

An Excellent Book For Those On A Shamanic Path
This book seems to be like Marmite, you either love it or you hate it. I must say that i love this book. I am an experienced shamanic practitioner and i must say that this is one of my favourite books on shamanism. I find it excellent for begginers and long time practitioners of shamanism. It would seem from reading the previous reviews, that the main people who did not enjoy the book, were people who practice Wicca, however shamanic practitioners claim to have enjoyed the book alot. Maybe if you do Wicca you would be best not buying this book, however i would warmly reccomend this book to anyone who practices shamanism.

Learn a lesson....
To check out how well-researched books actually are before you buy them. This book was historically inaccurate, with fantastical notions thinly disguised as "Magick". I should have known better than to buy a book on Celtic paganism from an author that publishes books on every other "brand" of paganism as well. She is a good writer, and the pictures are pretty, but the content belongs more in the "fiction" department than anywhere else. A better place to start: "Circle of Stones" by Erynn Laurie.

Poorly Done
Research is wanting here... if you use the information as a personal path, know that it's not based on a tradition, but creative license
