In this episode I talk about my study of Shamanism, define or at least attempt to define Shamanism and talk about what makes a Shaman.

I cover the three types of Shaman: Traditional, Neo and Shamanic Practitioner.  I talk about signs of a Shamanic calling and the Shamans world view.

The books I would recommend to read on Shamanism are:

Way of the Shaman by Micheal Harner  an anthropological overview

The Complete Idiots Guide to Shamanism by Gini Graham Scott the best overall intro I could suggest

The Shaman’s Doorway by Stephen Larson Transpersonal psychology and self help

Shamanism Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy by Mircea Eliade a classic of history and anthropology

The music for this episode is from Putumayo Presents Music from the Coffee Lands 2
