Leo Rutherford: Thorsons Way of Shamanism [2001]

This title introduces the world of the shamanic tradition and includes practical exercises and rituals. Shamanism is the oldest spiritual path on this planet, with roots tracing back more than 5000 years. Now there is a resurgence of interest in the ways of the "Wise Ones", which have as much relevance today as they did in ancient times. This book explains: how we "dream", and can change our reality; the magic of trance-dancing; shamanic journeying and soul retrieval; creating sacred space and ceremony; and using sacred plants. The book contains an international resource directory.
