Exploring the visual culture of animism, healing, and journeys to other planes—this copiously illustrated book brings to life the imagery of shamanism in one beautiful and intelligent volume. Around the world, shamanic traditions dating back thousands of years are being revived, recovered, and reinvented. Many people are increasingly turning to shamanic practices and rituals for community, connection to nature, and spiritual direction. Focusing on an expertly curated selection of ritual artifacts and visionary images, this book skillfully explores the roles of shamans around the world and throughout history, from the Mesolithic shamans of Germany and the Evenki shamans of northern and central Asia to the shamans of the Shang dynasty and the booming populations of neo-shamans in the West.
