This book describes in great detail what it is like to undertake a shamanic journey, and what can be expected. Collecting information on shamanism as practiced in dozens of indigenous traditions Harner presents non-pharmacologic practices that westerners can take part in that may introduce them into the consciousness states utilized by shamans in their craft.

The Kartoss Gambit (The Way of the Shaman: Book #2) LitRPG series This is a significant improvement on book 5 (don't mention the rip off Hour of Pain though) but it is still very jumbles and the beginning couple of chapters are all over the place.
It still interests me greatly as a way to process perception and to deal with life. However book 5 and now book 6 have felt like an author trying to end a series because they ran out of in game plotlines - I found the story to be very contrived in places and events occur that are just plain ridiculous and unbelievable (I know in a fantasy litrpg story ridiculous and unbelievable are normal but I mean even beyond that). This was a really interesting book for me, it provides the basics for shamanistic "journeying" and a lot of description of the experience of others.

What is it like for a small flap-eared goblin herbalist to play the role of Gnat is on his voyage with the Shiamiru, all the while trying to find backup for humanity among the great spacefaring races.

Reading Graham Hancock’s Fingerprints of the Gods many years before helped me to accept that ancient civilizations understood far more than our society accredits them for but with the revelations of shamanism I could directly confirm that our ancestors had a wiser grasp of reality and the human mind than any other source currently available. Interestingly, when I started on Michael Harner’s The Way of the Shaman in the preface to this edition Harner states that, “Shamanism has subtly returned to the world, even in urban cetners…” (I can easily verify this statement having encountered a store called the Urban Shaman in Vancouver, BC)Michael Harner is the founder of a movement called "contemporary shamanism".

Shaman's Revenge (The Way of the Shaman: Book #6) LitRPG Series - Kindle edition by Mahanenko, Vasily. Clearly, Shamanism will not help me at all. I don't know if it can be done again but if it can I'll leave it to the author to accomplish. More of a how-to than a philosophical piece about Shamanism, Harner helps the reader to take on the practice of Shamanism on their own.Very good book, wish I had read it sooner.
