Publisher's summary

Shamanism is the oldest living path of spirituality.

Deatsman's book is a what-is rather than a how-to-practice guide that illuminates Shamanism's core teachings, its healing techniques, it's history and practices around the world, and more.

Good book -- horrible narrator

Is there anything you would change about this book?

I would change the narrator -- she sounds almost robotic. Terrible choice of voice for this book!

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Arika Escalona?

The author or someone with a voice personality.

Informative

This was exactly what I was looking for as an introduction to shamanism. It seemed well researched, authentic, and thorough. Narrator was fine. I would recommend to anyone interested in learning about this topic.

Good information

Interesting and promotes looking inward while answering questions about modern shamans and practices. When finished, your new understanding may entise starting from the beginning to see what was missed.
