  In this brilliant analysis of ancient and contemporary shamanic practices, which reads like a good story, Noel illuminates: the rising tide of shamanism. The path that will enable Western seekers to become sorcerers. A model for renewed shamanic seeking. How, through dreams and imaginings, can come the spirituality of imaginal healing. A masterful account which tracks the primal practices of the religious life through literary as well as anthropological sources in which Noel manages to extricate the sham from the shamanic while extending our vision of what it is to live in a larger reality.
