Every traditional shaman I've ever spoken with or read have all said you need to be careful when journeying. There are some not so nice spirits out there who will rip you a new one if you don't watch out. Not according to this book. Apparently, no matter where you go every spirit is good and nice and made of sugar and spice. Telling people every spirit you will come across is there to help you is dangerous.

Ms Rysdyk also tells you to ask for a dismemberment. Dismemberment experiences are not nice, for those with a genuine shamanic call, they can be quite dangerous.

Shamans don't believe in everything being wonderful and love n' light. They know both sides, the good and the bad. It's about accepting both and finding balance, not only focusing on one. Shamanic journeys can be dangerous as well as educational. Ignoring the darker side creates an unbalanced experience which helps no-one.

I'm not sure whether to consider this dangerous or just deluded. I put Ms Rysdyk in the fluffy bunny, love n' light wicca basket.

I’ll be back

I have to apologize to Evie for being so long in taking to read it. I never thought that a anniversary trip to the Vineyard would end up with us moving and staring an alpaca farm. I had started reading it before the move, but couldn't find what box it ended up in. I was glad I did. I found this to be an excellent introduction to anyone interested in shamanic learning. I found it easy to read and a lot of information was presented with examples and exercises to follow. I often promote Sandra Ingerman's books to people who show interest, but I think I will be adding Evie's book to that list. Well done my friend.

Very interesting book about the connection to the spiritual world. It was a slow start for me but as I got further and further into the book, it captivated me and it had ready to explore many of the different concepts explained
