The Shaman: Patterns of Religious Healing Among the Ojibway Indians - Grim, John A.

Clean, tight, unmarked; wear with creasing to upper front inside corner; a couple of very light creases to covers; spine straight and uncreased; appears unread; This book explores the basic patterns of the relationship between the Shaman's activity and the belief systems and social activities of the surrounding tribal people. And because his focus is always implicitly on the relevance of ancient Shamanism to modern social and spiritual concerns, The Shaman is useful to anyone interested in efforts to render our lives meaningful and to deal with illness, anxiety and suffering... The Shaman has relevance both to scholars and to anyone interested in the spiritual dimensions of healing, the psychological aspects of the transpersonal, and the ecological foundations of authentic spirituality. There are 21 pages of notes and 25 pages of bibliography, which indicate the extensive research by the author on the subject.
