THIS BOOK MUST BE THE GUIDE TO SHAMANISM!!!,
By
This review is from: Celtic Shaman (Paperback)
In 28-years, I have not encounter a more easily read, used and real world book. Truly, this book WILL take an individual from determined, but raw, to adept.
Buy this book to safely step from one to infinity; a new Shaman wanna-be, towards a SHAMAN. You will understand EVERYTHING that you are doing, and the order of the practices are placed perfectly. If I could give this book a 25 out of a 5-highest possible, I would!

Disappointing,
By Natureboy (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celtic Shaman (Paperback)
I bought this book with high hopes about learning genuine Celtic shamanism. However, I quickly realized that the Celtic connection was tenuous at best. The author pulls out bits of Celtic myth and draws parallels with what we know of different types of shamanism or shamanistic experience, but for actual practice the author pulls from other sources such as Michael Harner and then gives the practices a Celtic gloss to create "Celtic shamanism."
I still give the book 4 stars out of respect for the authors effort at synthesizing Celtic mythology and shamanistic practice into a workable system that may inspire or aid spiritual seekers on their quest.

Realistic Review,
This review is from: Celtic Shaman (Paperback)
By reading this text you will not become an adept at Celtic Shamanism. This text will provide you with decent information if you feel pulled to this path, as will texts by McKeowen, Cowan and Harner. Let us all remember that the word "shamanism" was unknown among the Celts. This word does describe in general terms some of the spiritual practises of the Celtic/Gaelic peoples. I am also including the present Gaelic peoples as well, for the tradtions of the file and senachie live on.
