### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A beautifully presented very informative book
  

*by J***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 May 2014*

Mike Williams begins his latest book 'The Shaman’s Spirit' with the intriguing sentence ‘There is no such thing as shamanism’.Continuing with an introduction to the word shaman itself and briefly explaining the background to the many controversies and academic debates surrounding the contemporary use of the term, the author continues to give his well thought out opinion of why shamanism should be considered accessible for everyone:“If all human beings are capable of trance – which they are – it follows that we all can have a shamanic experience.”From our common earliest ancestors people have followed a shamanic path and through his extensive research the author tells the stories of many of the diverse practices that evolved from all corners of the globe, explaining the traditions and practice but emphasising also that personal experience is paramount advising the reader to adapt rather than copy, and to speak to the place of where you live or originate.In 'The Shaman’s Spirit' Mike Williams demonstrates his great depth of knowledge gained from many years of study as a part of gaining his PhD in archaeology as well as from his own practical experience of shamanism and study with indigenous shamans in Siberia and Lapland.  The book is divided into five sections, “Place” “Animal”, “Plant”, “Ritual” and “Spirit” with each section containing a vast range of information covering all aspects of shamanic practice.  For example “Place” includes: home; the web of life; pilgrimage; sacred sites; encountering nature; the elements; the directions; the shamanic otherworld; spirits and guardians; altars and shrines.  Each section also contains practical exercises and guidance.Beautifully presented and illustrated 'The Shaman’s Spirit' makes very accessible reading and is highly recommended for anyone interested in starting or developing their own shamanic path.  The well referenced information this book covers on traditional and contemporary practice also makes it ideal for anyone interested in the range of topics it contains or looking for a research resource on shamanism.

    Captivating and cannot put the book down
  

*by T***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 May 2013*

I received my copy yesterday, thought I would have a quick look and 20 pages realised had not put the book down!  SO so interesting, packed with facts and info I had never come across before.  It is well referenced so you can go and look things up further too.  Often I find books of this genre will mention a name or idea but not say where it comes from , Mike has covered everything here. I follow Mike on Twitter and love his website and drumming tracks, this book is a true gem and for me it puts everything into one place. Lovely exercises and the illustrations and images are rich and mesmerising to gaze at, it is like journeying just looking at them alone! Thank you.
