Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"Beautifully written, intriguing and mysterious, a
work both of adventure and of serious research."
Graham Hancock, international bestselling
author of Fingerprints of the Gods

"Omar's adventures in Elemental Shaman are
inspiring and lively, with a lot of useful insight and inspiration." —Robert A. F. Thurman, professor of Buddhist studies at Columbia University and author of Why the Dalai Lama Matters

This fascinating true story chronicles one man's journey into the mysteries of spiritual consciousness and the indigenous healing practices of four shamanistic traditions: Toltec, Cherokee, Maya, and Buddhist.

In his travels around the globe, Rosales witnesses the powerful channeled spirit Niño Fidencio, receives messages and healing from a Toltec shaman, and experiences a dramatic soul retrieval from a Cherokee spiritwalker. Rosales travels to Guatemala, where he meets a Mayan high priestess, or a'j' r'ij, and the secret brotherhoods called cofradias, whose mission is to guard Maximón, the last living Mayan god. Rosales's last journey is to Bhutan, the Land of the Thunder Dragon, where he spends time with a holy lama.

"Superb. A real thriller!"
Carmen Harra, Ph.D., author of Everyday Karma

5.0 out of 5 stars Elemental Shaman, October 2, 2009
Sometimes in life we have defining moments that change our lives forever. It could be a flash of clarity or a strange experience that gnaws at our sensibilities. More often than not though, we have no idea where that instant in time will take us. Really, all we can do is follow the breadcrumbs of life hoping we are headed the right direction.

Elemental Shaman looks at one man's journey. This trek begins with a strange incident. The man's mother suddenly becomes ill after she finds ash surrounding her car. This leads the man to a shaman and an important vision that foretells a new way of being for this man.

Elemental Shaman is both entertaining and enlightening. The author guides the reader through a variety of different beliefs and traditions showing not only the inherent similarities of such but that we can choose our own way by taking pieces that resonate with us. In the end, we find something uniquely our own.

4.0 out of 5 stars "That Thing You Seek Is Also Seeking You" ~ Unveiling the Verus Secretu, August 22, 2009
The 2009 Llewellyn release `Elemental Shaman' by Omar Rosales takes the reader on a mystical excursion as represented by the foundational elements of Fire, Earth, Water and Air. Prompted by vivid, reoccurring dreams of a prophetic nature Mr. Rosales goes in search not only of the interpretation of his night visions but the meaning of life as well. He is lead to four individuals that would fall under the label shaman, elemental shaman to the extent that the author believes their teaching style and power is drawn primarily from one of the four primary elements.

Omar's Elemental Shaman:
1- The element of Fire is represented by a Toltec shaman or curandero residing along the border region of the United States and Mexico. With the aid of the curandero Omar witnesses the removal of a debilitating curse placed upon his Mother by a hostile co-worker.
2- The element of Earth is found in Arizona and is represented by Gary the Cherokee Spiritwalker. Through the Spiritwalker Omar undergoes the process of soul retrieval thus reassembling the broken pieces of his life, establishing wholeness and well-being.
3- A trip to Latin America and the jungles of Guatemala Omar discovers the element of Water embodied in the lovely image of Dona Pancha, the Madre Luna of Cerro de Oro. Her lessons are of a universal nature and concern the possible destiny awaiting the human race.
4-Finally, a journey to Bhutan uncovers the element of Air is represented in the personage of Manchen Lopon a Vajrayana Buddhist Master. It is here that Omar is taught the ultimate meaning of life on this plane and the infinite beyond. It is a journey full circle for the author and spiritual seeker.

Surprisingly I enjoyed the informative material more than the spiritual autobiographical accounts. It was concise, accessible and would serve as an excellent primer for those unfamiliar with the subject matter. The actual recorded accounts of shamanic encounter were good but didn't reach the revelatory level that I had anticipated. In other words, no "shock and awe." The "verus secretu" or true secrets revealed by Omar through his shamanic encounters really didn't present anything totally new or unexpected to be added to the material already available in other sources. With that said, `Elemental Shaman' is an enjoyable read that should appeal to the ever growing audience of pagan, New Age, occult readers.
