Spirit Voices by David Shi

What is shamanism? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? What are the requirements to become one?

David Shi, for whom these questions form his ancestral traditions, explores the history and practice of shamanism, guiding readers through what may be unfamiliar territory--the landscape of North Asia--and through what are largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions.

Featuring history, firsthand experiential reports, mythology, and folklore, Spirit Voices explores the spirits, spirituality, and practices of true shamanism, past and present. Shi also provides practical information for those readers seeking to implement shamanic practices, including those that are appropriate to noninitiates and outsiders to the culture.
