Shamanism for Beginners: Walking with the World's Healers of Earth and Sky

For more than 40,000 years, shamans have walked between worlds — healers, visionaries, and guides for their communities. Their wisdom is as relevant today as it has ever been.

In Shamanism for Beginners, James Endredy takes you on a journey through shamanic traditions from around the globe, exploring the tools, rituals, and beliefs that unite these ancient practices across cultures. Whether you’re drawn to earth medicine, spirit communication, or simply seeking a deeper connection to the natural world, this accessible guide opens the door.

Inside you’ll discover:

• How shamans are chosen, initiated, and trained across different traditions
• The role of power animals, ancestors, and spirit allies
• Shamanic tools and rituals common to most traditions worldwide
• Insights from scholars including Mircea Eliade, Michael Harner, and Holger Kalweit
• Stories from Endredy’s own shamanic experiences and from indigenous shamans throughout history
