Review: Good overview text of Shamanism around the world and How/Where-to Guide for the Seeker - If you are looking for a source that gives a good overview of shamanism around the world and contemporary practice, along with practical advice, this book is really a good place to start. It's organized into several sections which cover world-wide history; how-tos, tools, and a bit about 'feeling the call', and a section contemporary practices with links on where to find more information. I feel the author is about as unbiased with respect to different traditions as it is possible to be. There are books that take a new-age, self-help tone to the information; I like that this isn't really one of them. It's very useful as an encyclopedia: there's lots of pragmatic advice on where to start, supplies, contacts, leads on teachers, etc., for those who want more than just surface knowledge. I am not currently practicing, but still want to know more. My grandfather was Paiute: the acceptance of Shamanism, ritual and practice is something I grew up with. I got started studying Shamanism when I met an elderly gentleman on the street, as a teenager. What he said to me explained a lot of what I'd been feeling at the time, and I began study with him and others as I started college, many, many years ago, until it came into comflict with my studies, or so I thought. I dropped away but never stopped needing to know more, not only about the tradition I grew up with, but also about other traditions world-wide. So, now that I have time, I'm reading everything I can, I have found "The Shamanism Bible" a great place to start for one seeking to understand shamanism holistically.
Review: Excellent overview of Shamanic tradition - I have been trained in Shamanic practice and found this book to be fascinating, thoughtful, carefully written (although I found 2 typos!) and definitely worth reading for those who want to know more about the practices of Shamanism around the world. Matthews has a nice description of various spirit animals and their qualities as well as some advice on how to live with more intention. I highly recommend this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exactly the right place to start
*by A***A on July 12, 2019*

Written in a way that brings the information home to the reader. The information was delivered in such a way as to be very interesting, without being too dry. The comparisons of shamanic practices among various cultures was fascinating and illuminating. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone curious about shamanism or just beginning their own shamanistic journey.
