STUMBLING DOWN THE SHAMANIC PATH
Mystic Adventures and Misaventures
Michèle Burdet

Stumbling Down the Shamanic Path relates how a spiritual skeptic became a questioner, a meditator who avoided gurus, an explorer of earth energies, and then met the teacher who discerned the shaman sleeping in the spirit of a middle-aged alpinist. That was only the beginning, for pursuit of this new tack offered a new set of hurdles. After years of bumpy roads, Michèle Burdet is today a practitioner of ancient shamanic arts such as soul retrieval and is teaching apprentices to carry on the torch of what she likes to call “prehistoric psychotherapy", and is helping others to find their way on the shamanic path.

Michèle Burdet, a former journalist, editor, library director and executive on both sides of the Atlantic, stepped onto a spiritual path in midlife. She went through a long apprenticeship before exercising her innate shamanic craft. She lives and practices surrounded by the power of the Swiss Alps.

THE WOMAN IN THE SHAMAN'S BODY
Reclaiming the Feminine in Religion and Medicine
Barbara Tedlock, Ph.D.

A distinguished anthropologist–who is also an initiated shaman–reveals the long-hidden female roots of the world’s oldest form of religion and medicine. Here is a fascinating expedition into this ancient tradition, from its prehistoric beginnings to the work of women shamans across the globe today.

Shamanism was not only humankind’s first spiritual and healing practice, it was originally the domain of women. This is the claim of Barbara Tedlock’s provocative and myth-shattering book. Reinterpreting generations of scholarship, Tedlock–herself an expert in dreamwork, divination, and healing–explains how and why the role of women in shamanism was misinterpreted and suppressed, and offers a dazzling array of evidence, from prehistoric African rock art to modern Mongolian ceremonies, for women’s shamanic powers.

Tedlock combines firsthand accounts of her own training among the Maya of Guatemala with the rich record of women warriors and hunters, spiritual guides, and prophets from many cultures and times. Probing the practices that distinguish female shamanism from the much better known male traditions, she reveals:The female forms of dream witnessing and vision questing Shamanic midwifery and the spiritual powers released in childbirth and monthly female cycles Shamanic symbolism in weaving and other feminine arts Gender shifting and male-female partnership in shamanic practice

Filled with illuminating stories and illustrations, The Woman in the Shaman’s Body restores women to their essential place in the history of spirituality and celebrates their continuing role in the worldwide resurgence of shamanism today.

SOUL RECOVERY AND EXTRACTION
Ai Gvhdi Waya (Eileen Nauman)

Putting the pieces of your life back together again... Soul Recovery is about regaining the fragments of one's soul energy that have been trapepd, lost or stolen either by another person or through a traumatic incident that has occurred in one's life. Taking back control of your life is at the heart of this shamanistic healing method. Here are a few signs of soul loss: Depression, memory loss (especially from your growing up years), addictive behavior of any kind, codependence, obesity, inability to release a person or situation or event, being controlled or maniupulated by others, having a victim's mentality, etc.

This book tells of an ancient healing method and how it has a place in our modern-day society. Many people are wandering and seeking spirituality; this book explains why we feel so lost and what we are in search of. There are many case histories to illustrate SR/E, as well as the signs of soul loss, and how a person can regain their spiritual wholeness. At the back of the book is a directory of shamanic facilitators that can be contacted, who have been trained by the author, Ai Ghvdi Waya, over the years.

Ai Gvhdi Waya is an Eastern Cherokee Metis shamaness. Her heritage was passed on to her from her great-great grand-mother a member of the Wolf Clan and a medicine woman. She has trained a world-wide core group of shamanic facilitators to carry on her work in order to help Mother Earth and all her relations. She holds a Doctorate of Homeopatic Medicine (DHM UK) from the british institute of Homeopathy, England.

RIDING WINDHORSES
A Journey into the Heart of mongolian Shamanism
Sarangerel

The first book written about Mongolian and Siberian shamanism by a shaman trained in that tradition.

• A thorough introduction to Mongolian and Siberian shamanic beliefs and practices, which, until the collapse of the Soviet Union, were banned from being practiced.
• Includes rituals for healing and divination techniques.

In traditional Mongolian-Buryat culture, shamans play an important role maintaining the tegsh, the "balance" of the community. They counsel a path of moderation in one's actions and reverence for the natural world, which they view as mother to humanity. Mongolians believe that if natural resources are taken without thanking the spirits for what they have given, those resources will not be replaced. Unlike many other cultures whose shamanic traditions were undermined by modern civilization, shamans in the remote areas of southern Siberia and Mongolia are still the guardians of the environment, the community, and the natural order. 

Riding Windhorses is the first book written on Mongolian and Siberian shamanism by a shaman trained in that tradition. A thorough introduction to Mongolian/Siberian shamanic beliefs and practices, it includes working knowledge of the basic rituals and various healing and divination techniques. Many of the rituals and beliefs described here have never been published and are the direct teachings of the author's own shaman mentors.

Sarangerel Odigan, which means Moonlight Shamaness in Buryat, was trained in the traditional Mongolian and Buryat shamanic traditions by native teachers who are free to practice again following the collapse of the Soviet Union. She was the foreign outreach representative of the Golomt Center for Shamanist Studies and the Mongolian Shamans' Association. Born in the United States after her family had been forced to flee Siberia following the Russian Revolution in 1917, she returned to her ancestral homeland in the Tunken region of southern Siberia in 1991 to rediscover the shamanic knowledge of her ancestors.

CHOSEN BY THE SPIRITS
Following Your Shamanic Calling
Sarangerel

• Mongolian shamaness Sarangerel provides a hands-on guide for serious students of the shamanic path.
• Includes complete directions for traditional Siberian rituals, meditations, and divination techniques never before published.

• Shows how to recognize and acknowledge a call from the spirits.

• Offers traditional wisdom for nurturing a working relationship with personal spirit helpers to promote healing and balance in a community.

The shaman's purpose is to heal and restore balance to his or her community by developing a working relationship with the spirit world. Mongolian shamanic tradition maintains that all true shamans are called by the spirits--but those who are not from shamanic cultures may have difficulty recognizing the call or nurturing the essential shamanic relationship with their helper spirits.

Buryat shamaness Sarangerel has written Chosen by the Spirits as a guide for both the beginning shaman and the advanced practitioner. Although raised in the United States, she was drawn to the shamanic tradition, and in 1991 returned to her ancestral homeland in the Tunken region of southern Siberia to study with traditional Buryat shamans. Her first book, Riding Windhorses, provided an introduction to the shamanic world of Siberia. Chosen by the Spirits delves more deeply into the personal relationship between the shamanic student and his or her "spirit family." Sarangerel recounts her own journey into shamanic practice and provides the serious student with practical advice and hands-on techniques for recognizing and acknowledging a shamanic calling, welcoming and embodying the spirits, journeying to the spirit world, and healing both people and places.

THE JOURNEY TO THE SACRED GARDEN
A Guide to traveling in the Spiritual Realms
Hank Wesselman, Ph.D.

A Guide to Traveling in the Spiritual Realms. At the heart of spiritual awakening lies the discovery that each of us can achieve the direct, transformative connection with the sacred realms—a connection that defines the mystic. The Journey to the Sacred Garden guides us along a well-traveled path into this extraordinary experience and includes an experiential audio CD of shamanic drumming and rattling, providing us with an effective, easily learned technique for expanding awareness and shifting consciousness safely. The first goal: to find our Sacred Garden, a place for personal empowerment; as well as physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual restoration. Once there, we learn through direct experience that the garden can be used as a gateway into the other levels of the inner worlds. Anthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., reveals that our garden operates by four primary rules: 1. Everything in the garden is symbolic of some aspect of ourselves or our life experience. 2. Everything in the garden can be communicated with, enhancing understanding. 3. The garden can be changed by doing work. 4. When you change your garden, some part of you or your life will change in response. The accompanying drumming CD will help you find your own sacred garden!

SPIRIT MEDICINE
Healing in the Sacred Realms
Hank Wesselman, Ph.D. and
Jill Kuykendall, RPT

The rediscovery that each one of us can achieve the direct, transformative connection with the sacred realms lies right at the heart of the spiritual reawakening sweeping the Western world—a phenomenon explored by anthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., in his widely read book The Journey to the Sacred Garden. In Spirit Medicine, Dr. Wesselman is joined by his wife, transpersonal medical practitioner Jill Kuykendall, RPT., to present us with a cross-cultural consideration of illness, healing, and health care from the ancient wisdom of the traditional peoples. Spirit Medicine opens a window into a universal worldview that will help you:

• understand the classic causes of illness - an essential step in true healing;
• work with the four levels of spiritual healing;
• expand your connections to inner sources of wisdom and power; and
• deepen your contacts with your helping spirits and healing masters.

Spirit Medicine will provide you with the singular key to success that energy medicine by itself lacks. It will also provide you with a perspective derived from the Hawaiian kahuna tradition in which knowledge of the soul cluster, as well as the multileveled nature of reality, forms the foundation.
Included is an experiential CD of shamanic drumming and rattling to be used with specific exercises and meditations designed to enhance your healing practice for yourself and others.

Spirit Medicine reconsiders and reworks the time-tested techniques pioneered by the shamans of the indigenous peoples, providing nontribal Westerners with extraordinarily effective insights into healing and problem solving.

A Beginner's Guide
Sandra Ingerman

The shamanic journey is a practice common to all indigenous societies throughout history.

USES & ABUSES OF PLANT-DERIVED SMOKE
Its Ethnobotany as Hallucinogen, Perfume,
Incense & Medicine
Marcello Pennacchio, Lara Jefferson, Kayri Havens

Plants provide the food, shelter, medicines, and biomass that underlie sustainable life. One of the earliest and often overlooked uses of plants is the production of smoke, dating to the time of early hominid species. Plant-derived smoke has had an enormous socio-economic impact throughout human history, being burned for medicinal and recreational purposes, magico-religious ceremonies, pest control, food preservation, and flavoring, perfumes, and incense.
This illustrated global compendium documents and describes approximately 2,000 global uses for over 1,400 plant species. The Uses and Abuses of Plant-Derived Smoke is accessibly written and provides a wealth of information on human uses for smoke. Divided into nine main categories of use, the compendium lists plant-derived smoke's medicinal, historical, ceremonial, ritual and recreational uses. Plant use in the production of incense and to preserve and flavor foods and beverages is also included. Each entry includes full binomial names and family, an identification of the person who named the plant, as well as numerous references to other scholarly texts. Of particular interest will be plants such as Tobacco (Nicotiana tabaccum), Boswellia spp (frankincense), and Datura stramonium (smoked as a treatment for asthma all over the world), all of which are described in great detail.

BLACK ELK THE SACRED WAYS OF A LAKOTA
Wallace Black Elk; William S. Lyon

Wallace Black Elk, a Lakota Indian shaman, claims to be a spiritual ``grandson'' and former trainee under healer Black Elk (subject of Joseph Epes Brown's The Sacred Pipe ). In this first-person narrative, taped and edited by California anthropologist Lyon, Wallace Black Elk describes how the sacred pipe enabled him to commune with spirits, to hear the songs of rocks, water and trees. In a litany of miracles, he heals a boy who was unable to walk; the spirits, speaking through him, predict that Korean jet 007 (shot down by the Russians) will veer off-course; he meets ``little people'' who descend in a luminescent UFO; spirits disassemble a television set and float electronic tubes around a room. In his apocalyptic vision, ``the people from the multinational corporations'' will be cooked alive or will starve. Lyon does not provide documentation that might allow readers to evaluate how much of the book is fact or fantasy.

CURIOUS CUSTOMS AND CURES
Indian Rituals and Remedies. Colonial Quacks and Kickapoo Juice
Robert Ellis Cahill

Our first New England settlers were plagued with almost every sickness and disease imaginable. The female homesteader was chief cook and bottle-washer, and usually the only doctor-nurse available. Her home remedies were based on Indian cure-alls or old world traditions, many of them steeped in superstition and ancient customs. It was a brutal land they lived in, where devastating plagues wiped out half of the Indians – for those remaining, sickness often racked their bodies and unfounded fears taunted their minds.

Secret Native American Pathways
A Guide to Inner Peace
Thomas E. Mails

More than 40 years ago, Thomas E. Mails began a personal exploration of the spiritual richness of traditional Native American customs and secret ceremonies. Using his gifts as a talented illustrator and writer, he tirelessly worked to bring the spiritual culture of Native Americans to readers until his death in November 2001. 

Secret Native American Pathways: A Guide to Inner Peace authentically details the religious beliefs and rituals of four major tribes (Apache, Cherokee, Hopi, and Sioux) as practiced since ancient times. In this beautifully illustrated "how-to why-to" book, Mails' includes instructions for applying Native teachings to contemporary life. His central premise is that each tribe he discusses has triumphed over adversity through "walking the pathways" that led to inner peace, and that each of us can use these pathways to find our own inner peace.

For more than a century, Native American medicine men have predicted the advent of a new era in which the spiritual practices of their peoples would be revered by the white man and the Native American alike. Thomas E. Mails could be considered a principal figure in helping that prediction come true.

THE AMERICAN INDIAN
SECRETS OF CRYSTAL HEALING

Placing Crystals on Chakra centers is particularly dangerous when several are used at the same time. It is the aim of this book to explain the work which we do with our brothers and sisters the Crystals. Readers will learn about the properties of stones the properties of colors and the electromagnetic fields of the body.
Chapters include Purification & Care of Crystals the Different Ways of Working the Three Laws of Healing How to Prepare the Essences and the therapeutic Touch & Exercises.

THE NAVAHO
Revisited edition
Clyde Kluckhohn and Dorothea Leighton

What are the Navaho today? How do they live together and with other races? What is their philosophy of life? Both the general reader and the student will look to this authoritative study for the answers to such questions. The authors review Navaho history from archaeological times to the present, and then present Navaho life today. They show the people's problems in coping with their physical environment; their social life among their own people; their contacts with whites and other Indians and especially with the Government; their economy; their religious beliefs and practices; their language and the problems this raises in their education and their relationships to whites; and their explicit and implicit philosophy.

This book presents not only a study of Navaho life, however: it is an impartial discussion of an interesting experiment in Government administration of a dependent people, a discussion which is significant for contemporary problems of a wider scope; colonial questions; the whole issue of the contact of different races and peoples. It will appeal to every one interested in the Indians, in the Southwest, in anthropology, in sociology, and to many general readers.

LEFT HANDED, SON OF OLD MAN HAT
A Navajo Autobiographie
Recorded by Walter Dyk (1938)
Foreword by Edward Sapir (1966)

With a simplicity as disarming as it is frank, Left Handed tells of his birth in the spring "when the cottonwood leaves were about the size of my thumbnail," of family chores such as guarding the sheep near the hogan, and of his sexual awakening. As he grows older, his account turns to life in the open: nomadic cattle-raising, farming, trading, communal enterprises, tribal dances and ceremonies, lovemaking, and marriage. As Left Handed grows in understanding and stature, the accumulated wisdom of his people is made known to him. He learns the Navajo life founded upon principles: the necessity of honesty, foresightedness, self-discipline. The style of the narrative is almost biblical in its rhythms; but biblical, too, in many respects, is the traditional way of life it recounts.
