This classic on shamanism pioneered the modern shamanic renaissance. It is the foremost resource and reference on understanding shamanistic practice. Anthropologist and shamanic practitioner Michael Harner defines the concept of "core shamanism," where universal spiritual practices are not bound by specific cultural traditions. The Way of the Shaman is the definitive handbook on practical shamanism - what it is, where it came from, and how you can participate.


Michael Harner, Ph.D., has taught anthropology at various institutions, including the University of California at Berkeley, Columbia University, Yale University, and the New School in New York. He has practiced shamanism and shamanic healing since 1961 when he was initiated into Upper Amazonian shamanism. Harner is president and founder of the nonprofit Foundation for Shamanic Studies.

"An intimate and practical guide to the art of shamanic healing and the technology of the sacred. Michael Harner is not just an anthropologist who has studied shamanism: he is an authentic white shaman."
- Stanislav Grof, author of The Adventure of Self-Discovery
