North American Indian Medicine Powers
Author: William Lyon
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527553949
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 720
Book Description
This book is the first-ever publication to provide an in-depth overview of American Indian medicine powers. More importantly, it challenges the current notion that a belief in medicine powers is merely the result of primitive superstition. Utilizing a recent discovery in quantum mechanics, hailed by some physicists as “the greatest discovery in the history of science,” it explains how quantum mechanics principles can be used to better explain why shamans do what they do during ceremony. This results in the book taking the point of view that there is now more evidence to assume Indian medicine powers are real than to assume they are not.

An Encyclopedia of Shamanism Volume 1
Author: Christina Pratt
Publisher: The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc
ISBN: 9781404211407
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 376
Book Description
Shamanism can be defined as the practice of initiated shamans who are distinguished by their mastery of a range of altered states of consciousness. Shamanism arises from the actions the shaman takes in non-ordinary reality and the results of those actions in ordinary reality. It is not a religion, yet it demands spiritual discipline and personal sacrifice from the mature shaman who seeks the highest stages of mystical development.

Shamanism
Author: Mariko Namba Walter
Publisher: ABC-CLIO
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 568
Book Description
A guide to worldwide shamanism and shamanistic practices, emphasizing historical and current cultural adaptations. This two-volume reference is the first international survey of shamanistic beliefs from prehistory to the present day. In nearly 200 detailed, readable entries, leading ethnographers, psychologists, archaeologists, historians, and scholars of religion and folk literature explain the general principles of shamanism as well as the details of widely varied practices. What is it like to be a shaman? Entries describe, region by region, the traits, such as sicknesses and dreams, that mark a person as a shaman, as well as the training undertaken by initiates. They detail the costumes, music, rituals, artifacts, and drugs that shamans use to achieve altered states of consciousness, communicate with spirits, travel in the spirit world, and retrieve souls. Unlike most Western books on shamanism, which focus narrowly on the individual's experience of healing and trance, Shamanism also examines the function of shamanism in society from social, political, and historical perspectives and identifies the ancient, continuous thread that connects shamanistic beliefs and rituals across cultures and millennia. Nearly 200 entries on shamanic belief systems, practices, rituals, and related phenomena 152 contributors including international experts and pioneering researchers in the field 100 photos, charts, and tables Multicultural bibliography of significant materials from the fields of history, ethnography, and anthropology
