Books about Shamanism and Tibetan Buddhism

by Nicholas Breeze Wood

Ever since the dawn of human history, many cultures have had shamans and medicine people.

This beautifully illustrated volume describes many aspects of shamanism, such as ceremonies using drums, chants and other rituals, performed as a way of summoning healing spirits, performing magic, seeking help, and divining the future.

This book points out striking similarities in practices of cultures in far-flung corners of the world, including Africa, India, Siberia, and the Americas. It tells how readers can use simple ceremonies today, as a way to restore their personal spiritual balance and live in harmony with the rhythms and energies of nature.

Shamanic rituals and meditations for  the purposes of healing, tending sacred places, protecting people from harm, bringing good fortune, honouring ancestors, and more.

Here is a fascinating and detailed history and description of shamanism, written by an expert in the field. This beautiful book is enhanced with more than 200 photos and illustrations, all of them in full color.
