Shamans and Shamanism Book
Incomparable in its fullness and breadth of perspective, this survey compares the development of the shaman, or medicine man, among tribal societies. A go-between for man and the spirit world, the shaman helps explain and resolve issues surrounding misfortunes, calamities, bodily ailments, and death. In drawing from tribal societies around the world--from Australian Aborigines to Zulus--the author discusses causes (ill winds, evils spirits, taboo infringements) and cures (exorcism, charms, enchanted drinks). Also examined: the social position and functions of the shaman, methodology, and the perils of failure and rewards of success. A classic of the genre, this study will appeal to students of tribal societies, New Age advocates and anyone interested in the practics of shamanism as an alternative spiritual path.Read More
