Shamans, healers and proponents

In our imagination, the figure of the shaman is linked to bygone ages, ancient ways of life, remote locations, the jungle, the taiga, the prairie. Holger Kalweit wrote his book before the current revival of shamanism, which can really be of general interest today. The author is a psychologist-ethnologist who understood that the shaman's field of work is consciousness far beyond the personal psyche, and who seeks the connection between ancient knowledge and our modern healing, world view and life. In his passionate book, he examines with unromantic respect and a sincere desire to learn what the ancients knew that we no longer know - not only about health and illness, but also about life and our place in the universe.
