(Part 2) Best products from r/Shamanism

Start with Neolithic Shamanism by Kaldera and Krasskova

Then start Kaldera's Northern Tradition series:

Jotunbok

Pathwalkers's Guide


Wightridden

Wyrdwalkers

In the meantime, start searching for the Galdrbok by Johnson and Wallis and read that when you can get a copy.

That should give you about 3-5 years worth of training material. Once you have worked through it all, set it aside and focus on how the spirits you work with encourage you to practice. All of the above authors have their own practices and much of what they offer will not be completely true for your work. Learn the skills that are presented, make them your own, and then foster your relationships with the spirits from there.

Oh yea. Archangel Micheal can teach you how to use your invisible wings. Gabriel teaches us rightous thinking, orgainzing our thoughts, Raphael comes to us for healing. So on and so forth.

Then there is E.T. connections: Pleiadian Lightwork Healing Visualizations, Arturian Healing Tunnels, Astral tour escorts. All kinds of stuff.

For a bit of science, check out Stalking The Wild Pendulum

Oh, and Linda Goodman's Star Signs is an essential guide for any budding spiritualist!.

Much love and Namaste

This book has been a great place for me to start teaching myself since there isn't anyone in my area to work with.

Fantastic concept. There is a book about this subject called; Personal Totem Pole: Animal Imagery the Chakras and Psychotherapy

https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Totem-Pole-Imagery-Psychotherapy/dp/0944164080

And plenty of artwork also relating to the concept. I think there must defiantly be a connection and am intrigued to learn more.

Thank you!

Here is a link to my memoir, which details my first plant dieta.

It's also available as an audiobook and an ebook.

I also have tons of podcasts and radio interviews. Here is the latest.

Silver RavenWolf practices Pow-wow, folk magic originating in the culture of the Pennsylvania Dutch. Don't confuse the Pennsylvania Dutch with the Amish, since there are no Amish shamans. LOL. A Pennsylvania Dutch shaman would be a brauche or braucherei. This just goes to show how universal shamanism is since there is even a Pennsylvania Dutch form of shamanism.

Hex and Spellwork: The Magical Practices of the Pennsylvania Dutch

https://www.amazon.com/Temple-Shamanic-Witchcraft-Shadows-Spirits/dp/0738707678/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1542414681&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=temple+of+witchcraft&dpPl=1&dpID=51N27RbfyaL&ref=plSrch


I recommend 1 and 2 also. I did 3 years as a student at the temple. These were the texts we used. This is the one that Really resonated

Plants of the Gods

http://www.amazon.com/Plants-Gods-Sacred-Healing-Hallucinogenic/dp/0892819790

It's academic without being dry, really digs into the cultural context of the plant rather than being just stories of people talking about their "trips".

Ever seen this book?

Other shamanic tools:

• A flute
  
  
• feathers
  
  
• Porcupine quills or quarts crystal shards
  
  
• A small leather pouch
  
  
• A book on medical plants and herbs of whatever his native area is
  
  
• Sensory deprivation tools (like a solid blindfold or noise cancelling earplugs)
  
  
• Any number of (legal) herbs, not limited to sage but also juniper, mugwort, fennel, wormwood, damiana, siberian ginseng etc etc.
  
  
• Flint and a fire steel (for fine on the go)
  
  
• A make-your-own mask kit

Furthermore, look into Carlos Casteneda's "Teaching of Don Juan". It discusses the use of entheogenic plants, dark magic, shamanic shapeshifting, etc. There's some controversy over this book arguing that the shaman/brujo/diablero whom the author goes under the tutelage of is made up; but many believe that he stands as a narrative device, aggregating the many lessons that Castaneda, an anthropology student, learned from his time with the migratory Yaqui people into a single person's teachings.

It's a pretty quick read and discusses the deployment of or traveling as spirit animals to harm one's enemies.
