The Hollow Bone: A Field Guide to Shamanism (Colleen Deatsman)

Journey to the heart of the world's oldest spiritual discipline 

Shamanism is the oldest living path of spirituality and healing, yet many people don't know what it is. In The Hollow Bone, shaman and teacher Colleen Deatsman provides a lively introduction to the practitioners, rituals, beliefs, and tools of shamanism as it is practiced around the globe. 

What is shamanism? What are its core beliefs? What do shamans do? Are shamans like doctors? Do they heal illness? How does one become a shaman? Where can I learn more? 

The Hollow Bone answers these frequently asked questions — and more. Includes photographs and illustrations of shamans at work. Plus a list of books and resources for finding and working with shamans and shamanic teachers.
