Way of Shamanism

Shamanism, one of the world's oldest spiritual paths, dates back more than 50,000 years. Drawing on shamanic beliefs and practices found in many cultures, Rutherford shows us how we can use this ancient practice to suit our contemporary lifestyle through such devices as power animals, talismans, and journeying. This fascinating book introduces you to the world of the shamanic tradition and includes practical exercises and rituals such as:
-- how we "dream, " and can change, our reality
-- the magic o trance-dancing, shamanic journeying, and soul retrieval
-- creating sacred space and ceremony, and using sacred plants
