As she learned from her experience, with the help of ayahuasca we are able to grasp our paradoxical nature, the first step to acceptance of ourselves in both our glorious and dark aspects. Ayahuasca teaches us how to release the illusions we hold about ourselves and makes it possible to integrate our many diverse aspects to acquire our true power. This book reveals the ritual protocols that must be followed prior to partaking of ayahuasca, including the traditional preparatory “diet”--which requires enduring austere conditions, isolation, and only small amounts of bland food before receiving the powers of the plant spirit from an ayahuasquero, a healing master--and the sacred songs, icaros , that are sung when imbibing the substance. Although the use of ayahuasca is growing among “underground” spiritual seekers and through the burgeoning ayahuasca tourism trade in South America, few of its seekers understand how it is used traditionally and the importance of the rituals the indigenous people follow. With this book, the author hopes to restore the importance of these indigenous practices so that we may truly understand all the gifts of ayahuasca. Review: Wonderful insight of a spiritual journey from a feminine perspective - Since I have thought about taking a trip to Peru to experience an aya retreat this woman's personal experience was eloquent and thoughtful as well as real and meaningful. I felt like I had the privilege of experiencing this journey through her eyes, mind and writing in order to help me determine if I am ready for such a journey myself. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down! Review: Great account of serious experiences with Ayahuasca - This is a great account of Joan Wilcox's experiences with ayahuasca within the context of the true desertcart shaman traditions and her own spiritual journey. A must read for anyone interested in shamanic wisdom and the use of ayahuasca and other plants as teachers. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,788,857 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #531 in Native American Religion #4,844 in Popular Culture in Social Sciences #6,101 in Cultural Anthropology (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 29 Reviews | ## Images ![Ayahuasca: The Visionary and Healing Powers of the Vine of the Soul - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kzw8cCnCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful insight of a spiritual journey from a feminine perspective *by J***N on March 1, 2014* Since I have thought about taking a trip to Peru to experience an aya retreat this woman's personal experience was eloquent and thoughtful as well as real and meaningful. I felt like I had the privilege of experiencing this journey through her eyes, mind and writing in order to help me determine if I am ready for such a journey myself. I really enjoyed this book and could not put it down! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great account of serious experiences with Ayahuasca *by C***T on June 24, 2007* This is a great account of Joan Wilcox's experiences with ayahuasca within the context of the true Amazon shaman traditions and her own spiritual journey. A must read for anyone interested in shamanic wisdom and the use of ayahuasca and other plants as teachers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A readable and forthright narrative *by K***K on February 6, 2011* Worth a read! The author makes no issue of her less than lifetime experience with ayahuasca, making her account very personal and readable in that context. This is not a reference book, but a personal account - and in this vein, well written, well executed and lacking much in the way of distracting waffle. The good - An honest picture of who and what ayahuasca is. A clear and forthright account of the authors experiences. The ayahuasca experience tends to be very hard to describe in terms of language as much of the experience is so far beyond words that attempting to convey all but the driest details is impractical to say the least. Try describing the taste of a pear to someone who has not eaten one - you'll get the difficulty involved quickly. The bad - Tends to 'drift' in a few places, but not in a way that is seriously detrimental to the overall text. Little else to worry about so I am happy overall with the lack of criticisms available. The last word - A worthwhile read for anyone interested in Ayahuasca journeying. It is not a recreational pursuit and the author conveys this clearly - anything that tastes that bad AND has such strong purgative reactions within the body is never going to be a recreational drug,.. a point the author makes quite clearly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16203474-ayahuasca-the-visionary-and-healing-powers-of-the-vine-soul](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/16203474-ayahuasca-the-visionary-and-healing-powers-of-the-vine-soul) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
