About Shamanista

Shamanista came about because I inherited leadership of a Shamanism Meetup group and found that people are hungry for reliable information on shamanism. They wanted to know which web sites were good, and which books to look for.

People kept asking for book lists and handouts. I kept digging up old book review posts I had made to UseNet groups and Yahoo groups over the years.

Other people will be invited to contribute material on shamanism if they would like to. (It must be original or copyright free.) Personal shamanic experiences are especially welcome, including experiences of being healed by or studying with indigenous shamans. Eventually I hope to add a message forum for interactive sharing.

Shamanista.com is the first of a series of related and interlinked web sites. For example, WhiteCranes.com will be dedicated to spiritual energy healing. Meanwhile, please bookmark this site, come back often, and watch it grow. And please stop by the new Shamanista blog and Tengsha: Healing with Sound blog for informal musings on shamanism and sound healing.

Also, I'd be grateful if you drop an email whenever you find a broken link or a typo. Just click on my email address in the graphic below.

Thanks!
