Demystifying Shamans and Their World | Free Book
A Multidisciplinary Study
Shamanism can be described as a group of techniques by which its
practitioners enter the spirit world, purportedly obtaining
information that is used to help and to heal members of their social
group. Despite a resurgence of interest in shamanism and shamanic
states of consciousness, these phenomena are neither well-defined nor
sufficiently understood. This multi-disciplinary study draws on the
fields of psychology, philosophy and anthropology with the aim of
demystifying shamanism. The authors analyse conflicting perspectives
regarding shamanism, the epistemology of shamanic states of
consciousness, and the nature of the mental imagery encountered during
these states.
