3.0 out of 5 stars His story, not really about Inca, January 3, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Secrets of the Ancient Incas: A Modern Approach to Ancient Ritual and Practice (Paperback)
This is a story about a man and his spiritual journeys in Peru. He spends alot of time talking about synchronicities about adopting his Peruvian children. It's a heart-warming read about someone going through spiritual growth. However, if you are looking for information about Andean spiritual teachings then your best bets are Chamalú: The Shamanic Way of the Heart: Traditional Teachings from the Andes and Return of the Children of Light.

3.0 out of 5 stars chutzpah, October 9, 2005
By 
This review is from: Secrets of the Ancient Incas: A Modern Approach to Ancient Ritual and Practice (Paperback)
Do you want a recipe for how to become an instant writer of 'spiritual' lore? Go To Peru, adopt a couple of Peruvian orphans, superficially read a couple of tomes on Andean geography and 'shamanism', perhaps even take a tour or two.. and: lo! 'The Secrets of the Ancient Incas" is born. I give Langevin three stars for pure chutzpah. Needless to say, this book is not about 'ancient Incas', it is all about Langevin (what a great guy he is...etc..heh heh) and perhaps you will find buried in between the all too mundane travelogue a few New Age practices that fit quite well within the Magical Blend but have little to do with the Inka.

At least he is sincere and does not make things up, which is an achievement in itself if one considers the feeding frenzy that plagues popular Andean shamanism these days. If you want more substance, I'd go for Williams, Villoldo, or even Wilcox

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for inspiration and found it!!, July 2, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Secrets of the Ancient Incas: A Modern Approach to Ancient Ritual and Practice (Paperback)
This book is such a wonderful combination of a heartfelt story of the author's journies to Peru and the ancient incan rituals that can enrich and enhance our lives. As a story the book was captivating and as a "how to" the book was inspiring.
