The Shamanic Journey Series
Shaman Links is creating a Series of Posts on Journeying. These posts will discuss different ways of shamanic journeying, answer some common journey questions, and provide some specific topics to journey on.
As we create each post you will see them appear on this page, so you can link to this page for future reference.
For these posts we will not be teaching you how to journey, and will assume you will learn a shamanic journey method elsewhere. If you are in need of learning how to Journey, there are good books that teach journeying, or you can locate a journey class in your area, or you can look for a shamanism class online.
