Editorial Review Product Description The contributors' draw from experiences both inside and outside the consulting room, and with cultures that include the Lakota Sioux, and those of the Peruvian Andes and the Hawaiian Islands. The focus is on those aspects of shamanism most useful and relevant to the modern practice of depth psychology. These explorations bring the young practice of analytical psychology into perspective as part of a much more ancient heritage of shamanistic healing. Customer Reviews (3)
Great book, a must!!!!!
Profound experiences and insights
An always engrossing, sometimes harrowing compilation The book is presented in foursections, which progress from the abstract to the concrete. The essaysin the first section make a convincing case that Dr. Carl Jung was aWestern Shaman whose healing energies were coincident with his personalwound. The next section, dealing with shamanic medicine, contains essayswith brilliant therapeutic case studies, interpretations of animal dreamsymbolism, a fascinating discussion of shamanic allies and examples of thehealing potential of altered states of consciousness. The third sectiongrounds us further with essays dealing with the realities of coping withpain, cancer, surgery, death in childbirth and loss of soul. Some of theseessays were difficult reading, but worthwhile nonetheless. The fourthsection, the most amazing of all, takes us into the physical experience ofshamanic visionary states.Essays include: shamanic practices of a NativeAmerican tradition, a visionary Big Dream in the Christian mysticaltradition, a participation in the modern counterpart of an ancientsacrificial ritual and worship of the Goddess Pele in a Hawaiian volcano. This diverse book is a marvel, bringing together the ancient and modern,weaving them with the thread of Jungian thought and spirit. It is a worthyaddition to the library of anyone interested in Shamanism, JungianPsychology and mystical experience. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Native Americans believed that it was their responsibility to maintain harmony in the natural world on which they depended by performing a variety of rituals. Hunters blessed the animals they sought in the hope of their acquiescence, farmers blessed their fields and seedlings to ensure a bountiful harvest. Shamans were credited with exceptional powers to act on behalf of the community. They claimed to be capable of separating their spirits from their bodies and interceding with those spirits that controlled the many forces of nature. This book records the author's research into the traditions and practices of shamans across North America. Illustrations include remarkable photographs of masks, effigies, and implements used by shamans that are in the National Museum of the American Indian, Field Museum of Natural History, Canadian Museum of Civilization, and Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnology.

Fascinating information buried in jargon
Absolutely essential text for student of ASC and shamanism It is simply delicious reading content rich and a sorely needed next step in getting to the core of what mechanism shamanism exploits to engage the integrative healing processes Anyone whoes been looking into this subject will have seen how much crap is out there, and here on these topics. so why isnt it more widely read, even recommended as a text? I asked this of a proffessional scholar and they responded it was too controversial Winkelmann?!! what are you trying to do? train shamans? ... Read more |

Just a comment
Thelemic Taoism? .....interesting but not accurate. With the core topic about Taoism and the I ching, the author has wrapped them in a veil of Neo-Paganism and other-Asian practices. This book reads as a compilation of texts that others have previously written, with introductions into chapters quoting Aliester Crowley's text. If you are into Eastern philosophy and thinking, you'll easily discern that this book is not written with the type of focus or commitment to preserve that Asian flavor (some Asian practices blended with neo-pagan practices and presented as western thought). The material presented herein is spread to thin and over to great of subject matter to have any solid foundation as a book on Taoism. Simply, the material presented is inaccurate. The exercises he gives within this books pages are Shamanic at best (not Asian or Taoist) and a lot of detail is left out about these things he has decided to include. The mis-use of mudras and associated practices demonstrates this sort of hodge podge approach, as does the using the "Assuming the form of Fudo" for everything....... Fudo is Japanese Buddhism, Taoism is Chinese Taoism. Also, Fudo's attributes are mis-represented in this text as is the symbolism that is associated with him (for example, his sword in this text is not drawn with the symbolic Vajra handle, nor is the definition of the weighted rope, held by Fudo, accurate). The "Diamond Thunderbolt" Mudra (which is Japanese Buddhist) is mis-used, and, the specific practices associated with its use are not included. I could go on. If you are looking for good books on Taoism, please refer to books written by an actual Taoist Priest. I would recommend: ...... and interestingly, Fudo isn't mentioned in these text, nor is Aliester Crowley. ... Read more |

Dave Hanson's Review Says It Well
Contributes to a serious discussion of shamanism. For serious students of shamanismwho have read extensively in the anthropological literature, thisdifference in the beliefs of indigenous and contemporary shamans is notnew. Harner's sanitizing of shamanism altered the student/spiritrelationship from one of fear, awe and mediation of forces outside ofthemselves, to one of consorting with one's benevolent teachers andhelpers. It is apparent that the reduction of the "fear factor"in shamanism has attracted more workshop attendees. Jakobsen, unlikeneoshamans, reminds us that the spirits of the Greenland shamans did notemanate from their psyche, were not projections of self, did not reside ina collective unconscious. There were no seeds of imaginal shamanism. Today,the neoshaman creates the spirits, thereby imposing order and morality onan otherwise fearsome universe. I heard a respected teacher in the Harnercadre tell a group of beginners that they would have to "teach yourpower animals how to behave." Such a notion would shock an indigenousshaman. The origins of imaginal, neoshamanism don't lie in shamanism atall, but rest on the foundation set in the humanistic psychology and humanpotential movement that emerged at Esalen in the sixties. Harner andCastaneda reap the benefits of the movement. In a framework where all isseen in terms of humanistic psychology, neoshamans master the spirits bynot inviting the dangerous ones to the party. Touching upon the origins ofneoshamanism would have helped this book. Jakobsen says "here they areand this is what they are doing," but she doesn't say"why." Jakobsen's reports of her experiences in neoshamanicworkshops are good samples of both the rituals and the anecdotal accountsof the participants. The descriptions of the workshops and people in themwas all too familiar. She is fair in her reporting. It is interesting thatthe course leader with whom she studied the most, refused to allow the useof his name. Coercive harmony dominates neoshamanic training. Jakobsen'sbook is a valuable addition to a discussion of shamanism. It asks us toconsider where we place ourselves in the cosmos. Perhaps it will stimulatemore examinations of the many aspects of the neoshamanic movement. Morelikely it will be seen by neoshamans as negative and critical. ... Read more |
