5.0 out of 5 stars Very Good!, August 1, 2000
By Julie Ann Stewart (Brownstown, MI United States) - See all my reviews
When this book came out it played an important role in bridging the gap between Russian/Soviet scholarship about shamanism and the western world. The value of this book is increased by the fact that many of the writers come from the cultures about which they are writing. Ms. Mandelstam-Balzer's translation is very readable and always interesting. This book is full of valuable information for readers interested in learning about Siberian shamanic traditions. Shamanic Worlds will be interesting not only to scholars but also to anyone interested in shamanism.
