SHAMANISM AND TANTRA IN THE HIMALAYAS

by Christian Ratsch, Claudia Muller-Ebeling, Surendra Shahi

The result of 18 years of field research, this text presents a comprehensive overview of the shamanism of Nepal. Shamanism and Tantra in the Himalayas is lavishly illustrated with numerous photos of different shamanic healing ceremonies, ritual objects and culturally significant plants. There are recipes, smoking mixtures, tables, charts, and descriptions of more than 20 plants whose psychoactive properties have never before been documented.
