Rating:  - Amazing, One of the Best Books Ever
This book is incredible. Having journeyed, studied, and be healed with others involved with shamanism, most trained by Micheal Harner (a name you ought to know if you really are serious about shamanism), this book just brought me back to those amazing spaces when my group would gather and journey for two hours on different topics. With this book, I could do it myself, have the same kind of life changing experiences, and get a GREAT training, about as formal as one can get from a book. Missing ... Read More
Rating:  - grounded-in-groundlessness compassionate reliable authentic
and though she warmly mentiones harner and ingerman, i think she does a better job at helping the reader...why? because she DOES come from a "tradition" or trajectory (albeit, celt-britain) and not from a clinic. she successfully balances the practices as a hybrid-"core" shamanism...true, for some this book may still seem "light" but then shamanism isn't about tripping out and hanging in a drum circle with didgeridoos etc. such is cool...but we are talking about life (cosmic and comic) and she brings ...

Rating: - A Practical Reanimation of Animistic Practice
Singing The Soul Back Home is a refreshing and approachable introduction to shamanism for people who have not encountered the practices and cosmologies of 'walking between the worlds.'

Fleshed out with plenty of practices and "permissions" for people to approach a revisioning of how they perceive the world around them, Singing the ... Read More
Rating: - An excellent primer on Shamanism
I really enjoyed this book. I also recommend it to my Shamanic Healing students. Though the Matthews' have a background in Celtic Shamanism, practitioners of all paths will find this book useful. This book covers all the important aspects of Shamanism from spirit helpers to soul retreival and divination. I highly recommend it!
