Way Of The Shaman

Way Of The Shaman

Updated Edition of this classic work

Way Of The Shaman is a classic that pioneered the modern shamanic renaissance. It is the foremost resource and reference on shamanism. Now, with a new introduction and a guide to current resources, anthropologist Michael Harner provides the definitive handbook on practical shamanism – what it is, where it came from, how you can participate.

“Wonderful, fascinating… Harner really knows what he’s talking about.”
CARLOS CASTANEDA

“An intimate and practical guide to the art of shamanic healing and the technology of the sacred. Michael Harner is not just an anthropologist who has studied shamanism; he is an authentic white shaman.”
STANILAV GROF, author of ‘The Adventure Of Self Discovery’

“Harner has impeccable credentials, both as an academic and as a practising shaman. Without doubt (since the recent death of Mircea Eliade) the world’s leading authority on shamanism.”
NEVILL DRURY, author of ‘The Elements of Shamanism’

“Crystal grids are the placement of gemstones with intention in specific geometric patterns to produce a web of energy toward a specific goal. I’ve created large crystal grids with the help of fellow travelers at sacred sites in Mexico, Peru, Florida, and the Four Corners region of the United States. In these large grids, I used tabular clear quartz crystals. Participants held the intention to activate the grids of light around the planet as we stood around the site in geometric patterns using telepathy. Telepathy, mind to mind, and heart to heart communication will be explained further in Chapter 7. ~ an excerpt from Chakra Awakening by Margaret Ann Lembo
