 Wow, such detail!!! September 22, 2004
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
There are certain books, that I "Must" write a review on,and this is one of them. I found this book by accident. I took a chance buying it, and I think this was one of the best decisions that I've ever made!!
Her details, her thoughts; very carefully written out. As soon as I started reading this book, I fell in love. I fell in love with it's honesty.
She talks about, being called by the spirits, to trances, to dreams, meditating, and so fourth. And that's making it brief.
There's so much to learn from this book. Very good for beginners, as well as the advanced thinking. Enjoy!!!
Nice introduction to Shamanism April 15, 2004

Using the examples of Mongolian and Siberian shamanism, this book takes a gentle approach in introducing the reader to this topic, one that is attracting more and more interest these days. I liked how in the introduction the author states that if you are reading this book the "spirits" are indeed calling you to become a shaman. And although one book does not make you into a shaman, this book helps you along this path. The introductory chapter gives a good general description of what shamanism is. The next chapter talks about various shamanic spirits, be them power animals, spirit lovers and guides and ways to contact them. There are also chapters describing "the shamanic journey" and what to be aware of and what to be careful of, working with shamanic spirits, and also ways of healing not only other people but the earth as well.There are also exercises in the book that help you to "welcome the spirits," and visualizing "the world center." The book's last chapter discusses shamanic tools you can use in ritual and the book's appendixes discuss setting up a ritual space, the shamanic pantheon (amazing how many shamanic deities and spirits there are!), and even a glossary of terms. I have to admit at times the terms threw me a little, so having the glossary to refer to was quite helpful for me. I felt this book was an informative but still gentle introduction on this topic and one that gives an excellent idea of the shaman's life and world.

Sarangerel writes from a bright, positive spirit of generosity and love for the ancient tradition. This is a wonderful book, as is her first. It is full of really great stuff. If you are interested in learning shamanistic techniques, get Sarangerel's books. They're beautiful. We have much to thank her for.
