Shamanic Voices: A Survey of Visionary Narratives

Shamans, the physical and spiritual healers who are the central figures of many tribal cultures, share eloquent testimonies including harrowing tales of initiatory rites, vivid accounts of visionary journeys, and revealing expressions of their unique position as the link between the tribe and the cosmos.

Joan Halifax muses on the role of shamans and then presents narratives by them on their work.
