A reading pleasure. July 10, 2008
Michael Harner is a pioneer in revitalizing the teachings of Shamanism in North America. This book is interesting, well written, and has very practical information from cover to cover about Shamanism. Anyone wanting to learn about Shamanism should get this book, but you should also seek out a class/workshop in your area to get a real-feel for the teachings. A good place to start would be on the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (FSS) website where you can find workshops being held all over the country. Shamanism dot org.
Although I enjoyed this book, I held back one star due to some vagueness in parts I wish Michael had spent more time on.

how-to guide for shamanism August 21, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Shamanism is not a religion.
A shamanic journey is something you can do, rather easily, if only you try.
you do not need anything other than this book.
Mr. Harner is not in the business of lying to you. He has no time for telling you "truths."
This is a "For Dummies" guide to shamanic practice.
Do not be afraid. If you are interested, buy the book. Do the excercises. See what happens.
A beautiful introduction to shamanism May 28, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This introduction to shamanism is based on the vivid experience of the author with shamans from native societies and his sometimes dramatic adventure in the realms of the Shamanic State of Conscience. It is a compact but comprehensive report of experiences, techniques and thoughts of shamans and scholars that devoted to the study of shamanism. The book denotes a long period of serious practical learning and research. It presents also a very intersting philosophical and spiritual point of view of the relation of humans with all other beings and Nature. The comments presented and the techniques proposed by the author as adapted to our western way of life, consitute a practical guide to those intending to introduce themselves to the practice of shamanism.

While I truly appreciate the information and insight Harner has brought to the west, his writing is amazingly academic and cerebral. If you are seeking an experiential glimpse of shamanism or a more instructional text, this book is not it. To learn *why* shamanism, absorb every page.
