In the Shadow of the Shaman is about the importance of connection to the deepest power of Nature. It tells you how to use natural objects from the shamanic worlds -- Plant, Mineral, Animal, and Human -- to help make this personal connection with Earth energies. In doing this, you are able to reconnect with the center of your own power. Because the shamanic path is such a personal one, often not able to be shared, this book has been designed so that it has the experiential quality of the shamanic journey traditions. The author is also careful to present the information in a clear, organized manner. In doing so, she blends the deeply personal wisdom of a shamanic path with the shared, community wisdom of a medicine path. This represents an ideal for Aquarian shamanism. But this book is not simply about shamanism -- it shows, through techniques, exercises, meditations, and rituals, how anyone can become a shaman. You will learn how to attune yourself with the shamanic worlds of Nature, and with the Higher Self, for self-healing and self-empowerment. You will learn to develop shamanic balance, to become the living tree, and you will do this by using such tools as stones, crystals, feathers, masks, drums, and incense. Amber Wolfe draws from her Rainbow Path presenting a synthesis of wisdom, magic and shamanic medicine harvested from many ways, ancient and modern. Her blended 'Aquarian shamanism' is consistently focused toward the highest good. Her charts and graphs provide a wide cafeteria of clear guidelines for her readers to use on their shamanic paths, yet Amber's circles are open to the illumination her readers bring to the creation of their own lives. I believe In the Shadow of the Shaman to be an invaluable aid to the learner/teacher on the shamanic path." -- Cynthia Bend co-author of Birth of a Modern Shaman
