I have been a fan of Jodo's for years. This book is an updated version of one of his best sellers. It is an interview with Alejandro about his healing art which he named Psicomagia and it's origins and inspirations. Jodorowsky is a modern day shaman who prescribes artistic actions to individuals with a healing purpose. He is a master Tarot reader, a recognized film maker a writer and poet... There is no end to this man's talent. He works extensively with genealogy, claiming that a majority of our ills originate in our family tree. I hope they translate his books into English soon. Most of my friends here in the US are English speakers only and are missing out on some incredible talent and inspiration.

I got this book last year but I didnt have the opportunity to read it until now. I really enjoyed the book but the copy that I got from Amazon had several misprinting pages. I suggest to everybody who purchased a book from Amazon, to check it for missing pages right away!

I would SO love to have this book in English translation!! I love the Jodowrosky's work. Why did I give this five stars, sight unseen? I had the pleasure of attending a Jodo signing at La Luz de Jesus gallery in LA. Jodowrosky was interviewed by the writer Jerry Stahl. Jodowrosky has lead a colorful life, to say the very least. This book, which I have flipped through, is packed with pictures and no doubt brims with amazing stories like the snippets I heard at the reading.

The one star is for Amazon, because I never got this book from them. NEVER. I waited for 6 months and finally I got and email canceling the order.
I am sure the book is great.
