Magic of the Ordinary: Recovering the Shamanic in Judaism by Gershon Winkler
A spiritual crisis sent Orthodox rabbi Gershon Winkler to remote regions of the Southwest, where he studied with Native American healers. From them he began to recover the long-lost wisdom of what he calls “Aboriginal Judaism”: the religion’s tribal roots. This book tracks his personal journey and draws from a dazzling mix of sources to detail the surprising connections between two seemingly unrelated religions.

Book Submitter says: “A fascinating exploration of the shamanic aspects of a way of life following Judaic traditions. Lets people realize that they have IT, and that IT is simply all covered over by the ways of western civilization.”
