Book Reviews of Modern Shamanic Living: New Explorations of an Ancient Path

Book Review: A wonderful place to start in Shamanism.
Summary: 5 Stars

This book has assorted meditations, and a few Shamanic journeys the author has taken. To give you an idea of what you will see and experience.

I especialy enjoyed Chapter 10 (Spiritual Ecology)Pages 93-102.

Ms. Rysdyk mainly focuses on Shamanic journeys into the lower & upper worlds.

I have three minor complaints with this book.

1. Ms. Rysdyk completely ignored the subject of protection. (in the beginning you should never journey alone (without your totem animal) because not all spirits are friendly (especially in the middle world). You should cast a medicine wheel and call in the white light or smudge the area to protect your body while you are out and about. If you want help with this E-Mail me.)

2. Ms. Rysdyk completely ignored the subject of integrity. (When you give your word to the spirits; they expect you to keep it. To use a Shamanic motto "Walk your talk".)

3. On page 57 Ms. Rusdyk relates the journey to get help from her power animal in getting a new job. (I perfer the term "Totem Amimal". The Spirits are there to help when you need it. They expect you to help yourself too; instead of using them as a crutch to get through life.)

Please see my listmania lists for recommended books.
