Beschreibung

This book deals with a broad range of shamanic activities in contemporary
Europe. Based on fieldwork in France, Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, it
provides a comprehensive overview of European neo-shamanism and its
various directions and currents. The study does not focus on casual
practitioners but on neo-shamanic healers with many years of experience.
Their work, ritual techniques, worldviews, social networks and relations
to shamans outside of Europe are analysed – as well as the transformation
of shamanic techniques and cosmologies in an increasingly globalised
world.
