A very useful and practical guide to the various religious practices and times that we can describe as Shamanism. The book works as a very practical and friendly model of shamanism, giving multiple examples across multiple religions and regions of how Shamanistic experiences dovetail across religions.
The text is descriptive and not judgemental, and serves therefore as a level-headed and useful introduction to Shamanism is all it's guises.

A good "what is" book

This book, like the others of "The Element" seris, are intended to answer the question of "what is". It is not intended, IMHO, to lead one to total shamanic practices. It give the reader a basic understanding of shamanism and its core beliefs. A great book for reference or for those just starting to look at Shamanism.

Mr Drury lsts some of the various plants used by Shamans.
This book does not provide enough information to assist you in becoming a shamanic practitioner. Read my other reviews to se the various Shamanic books I recommend.
