Flaptekst / Beschrijving
It is a book about the world heritage of shamanism, based on Sámi traditions and Ailo Gaups extensive experience in the shamanic zone.
Shamanism is the name of the oldest known practices for power, healing and ecstasy.
Since ancient times a ‘shamanic belt’ extends from Sámiland throughout the whole of Siberia. The migrants from Asia brought shamanism with them to North and South America. The phenomenon has existed since time immemorial in Australia and on the big island cultures of the Pacific, and certainly in Africa, the cradle of human culture.
In this book you can read about the way and the wisdom of the shaman and how you can gain your own shamanic experience.
Ailo Gaup tells us about the uniqueness of shamanism, about drums and drum journeys, symbols and how to understand them, soul loss and soul retrieval, as well as the meaning of mythology, the moment of ecstasy and the flight of the shaman in between the worlds.
This book also contains historic material about Sámi shamanism as well as biographical notes on his own travels in the shamanic zone.
‘Your personal relationship with nature can become the opening you need to get access to the world of the shaman.’ he writes.
