The Way of the Shaman by Michael J. Harner

The initial book on core shamanism by Michael Harner, founder of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. Michael has personal understanding of traditional shamanic practices, and he has developed a method for teaching practices that are common to many traditional cultures. The Foundation is dedicated to preserving shamanic cultures and traditions, and one way of accomplishing that is by reigniting shamanic practice in our modern world. The spirits are on board with his plan. They want to help us heal. They want to be part of our lives. Come see for yourself.
