Summary: fascinating meetings with modern shamans living in the west
Review:
i found this book quite fascinating. it is uplifting to read the views of many different practitioners of this archaic art.
i study shamanism in norway with sami shaman ailo gaup, and think it is an excellent practice to reach the deeper, inner self, the authentic and big Heart, while at the same time emphazising the importance of healing nature and to "be an agent" for mother earth. this is a way to direct experience of ones true nature and the sacred. this is a way opposite of fundamentalism and fanatism, "us and them". this is religious experience without the dogma of organized religion. i strongly recommend anyone with philosophical inclinations to look into shamanism, and to find a compassionate and wise shamanic teacher!
