In the Shadow of the Shaman: Connecting with Self, Nature & Spirit (Llewellyn's New Worlds Spirituality Series)

This book is a must for anybody, solitary or otherwise, who practices wicca/shamanism/magick and is hungry for a well of information and inspiration. Simple enough for a beginner, however, also advanced enough for the long-time student, this book is adsolutely phenomenal, by far Amber Wolfe at her very best. With its unlimited amout of correspondences on herbs, stones, rays, animals, alphabets, divination, tools, as well as Esbats and Sabbats, if I had to choose only one book out of my entire collection to use exclusively, I'd pick this one. Please buy this book. Not only will you find it an absolutely invaluable source of magick and the practice thereof, but you will also find it to be truly the most treasured book in your collection!

Amber Wolfe really helped me out of the mire of traditional magick and taught me to listen to the shaman within. Her book is my most valued literary source of magickal hints and ideas.

Amber Wolfe's beautiful introduction into the world of shamanism is a wonderful book that I have recommended to my cherished friends interested in native american spirituality and deepening their own spiritual journey. This is a spiritual lesson planner, and is not meant to be an anthropological study into any culture. To further understand and appreciate this work I recommend reading Soul Retrieval by Sandra Ingerman, the works of Michael Harner, the Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda or books by Lynne V. Andrews.

I have been recommending this book for years. It's a hodge-podge blend of Native American and Celtic influences but it's real and it works. If you are a solitary practitioner or kitchen witch who is just beginning on your spiritual journey then I can't recommend this book highly enough.

"In the Shadow" is one of the best books I have ever read. Is is definitly worth the paper it was printed on and more! A wonderful sourcebook, "In the Shadow" covers so many aspects of modern Paganism, such as color energies, chakras, meditation, healing, dreams... you name it, you've got it... and more! Filled with innovative ideas and creative sugggestions, this book is an excellent choice for anyone looking to grow and expand their spiritual selves!
