2.0 out of 5 stars
Not very good at all,
By Romantic Anna (Bronx, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Four-Fold Way (Paperback)
My main problem with the book was that there just wasn't much to it, both in terms of the writing (very wishy-washy) to the ideas. The author descibes 4 paths but does not do a good job of telling a person how to incorporate the concepts into daily life. Some other reviewers had much that was positive to say but I would argue that this book was like a cheerleading manual than a thoughtful guide.

Interesting philosophy but not good for Shamanism,

This review is from: Four-Fold Way (Paperback)
This book claims to teach you to walk the paths of the Warrior, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary.This book teaches four different kinds of meditation. This book places the elements in other directions than I do, but if this technique speaks to you, by all means use it. The fact that you honor the elements, and treat them with respect is more important than the directions you associate them with. This book describes the four brainwave frequencies beta, alpha, theta, and delta, but the frequencies are wrong. delta (deep sleep) 4-7 HTZ theta (light sleep) 7-11 HTZ alpha (most meditation occurs here) 11-17 HTZ beta (Wakeful consciousness) 17-21 HTZ Appendix E was VERY informative. It described where the author has some people listen to Shamanic drumming tapes (3.5-4 beats per second)without telling them any thing in advance, then getting their experieces afterward... If you want to learn Shamanism, I would recommend these books in this order. "Shamanic Experience" Kenneth Meadows "Shamanism: As A Spiritual Practise For Daily Life" Tom Cowan "Shamanism" Gordon MacLellan "The Way of the Shaman" Michael Harner "Secrets Of Shamanism: Tapping the Spirit Power Within You" Jose and Lena Stevens "Rainbow Medicine: A Visionary Guide to Native American Shamanism" Wolf Moondance ...Two Bears Wah doh Ogedoda

This book was a wonderful overview of many traditions with simple yet powerful exercises in the tradition of the medicine wheel. A great introduction to the subject - you will want to read and learn more!
