Shamanism for Beginners: The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Walking the Path of the Shaman, Shamanic Journeying and Raising Consciousness (Spriritual Paganism)

Shamanism can be defined as the practice of initiated shamans who are distinguished by their mastery of a range of altered states of consciousness. Shamanism arises from the actions the shaman takes in non-ordinary reality and the results of those actions in ordinary reality. It is not a religion, yet it demands spiritual discipline and personal sacrifice from the mature shaman who seeks the highest stages of mystical development.
