I am a contributing writer for the new book "Shamanic
Transformations: True Stories of the Moment of Awakening." It is a
collection of inspiring accounts from contemporary shamans about their first
moments of spiritual epiphany. Contributing writers include Sandra Ingerman,
Hank Wesselman, John Perkins, Alberto Villoldo, Lewis Mehl-Madrona, Tom Cowan, Linda
Star Wolf, and others. My contribution is "The Calling," which is an
excerpt from my book "Shamanic Drumming: Calling the Spirits." How
does one receive the "call" to enter onto the shamanic path? What causes some
people to change their safe, uneventful, and ordinary lives and start on a
spiritual search? To learn more, look inside "Shamanic Transformations." To read the entire excerpt of "The Calling," click here.
