So You Want to Be a Shaman: A Creative and Practical Guide to the History, Wisdom and Rituals...

The other review on this page is very accurate... This book will not convert you or make you aware of all that a shaman is or needs to be, but it will awaken you. There is a line that assists you in questioning whether you have what it takes to be a shaman and Lawson replies in effect.. you wouldn't be reading this book if you thought otherwise. Peace and Goodwill to You!

I nearly fell over laughing when I read the title. I had to open the book. Inside was a very, very brief introduction to Shamanism. And a very good introduction. It's one of the cutest books I've ever read, just because of the enormity of the subject and the tininess of the book.You're not going to learn how to be a Shaman with this book! But, if you have questions about what is a Shaman, this is a rather good answer. Good for children too, who in this so-called New Age, are asking about everything... Wicca, Christianity, Shamanism, 'who's the guy in the cool robes?' Now, you'll have the answer.
