Must Read!!!!!January 12, 2008 This is the best book on Peruvian Shamans that I have ever read. I have read many books on the subject of Shamanism and I feel this is the best yet. The interviews she has with the Q'uero and the translators, the culture of these people, all facts pertaining to their beliefs, simply an amazing read. I would recommend this book to anyway who is embarking on the path of a Shaman.

This is the identical book by the same author as "Keepers of the Ancient Knowledge". I have had to send it back for a refund. I was not thrilled to find I had ordered a book that I already owned, but with a new title. Nowhere was there any mention of it to alert someone of that.
But, it's a great book, and I was looking forward to more insights on the subject.

This is an awesome book containing information that is very timely and much needed to save our planet. - Only one criticism - this is an updated version of Keepers of the Ancient Knowledge but the only way to find out is by reading the introduction. Unfortunately I ordered both books and had to return Keepers. It would be awesome if Amazon had a way of letting customers know about updates with different names.
Thank you.

Having recieved rites from the Q'ero I found Joan's book to be an impressive body of work.
Her intention to share the teachings of the shaman in an unbiased informative way felt impeccable to me. The work is devotional in presenting their truths as she struggled through two language translations. Her pointed questions allowed these masters to convey their wisdom within our frame of reference.
Her book is a reminder of our deep connection to the divine, at once a resource and a tool for our own work. I feel grateful to her for putting this divine mystery into words. I have not found any other resource to be as detailed reguarding the message the Q'ero wish to convey to us.
I recommend this book to anyone on the path of seeking more light for this universe.
