- A READER: This is a thought-provoking book which stands apart from
all others dealing with Celtic shamanism. Cowan offers detailed analyses
on many different aspects of the Celtic brand of mysticism; he clears up
the "clowdiness" that is often present when dealing with this
complex system of symbology and myth. A wealth of subjects are covered,
from the traces of shamanistic practice we find in the lives of Celtic
heroes to the deeper significance of the Arthuran legends. The most interesting
part of the book for me was the section on the Sacred Wound, a vital but
mysterious part of shamanic initiation. This witty, energetic exploration
of the Celtic mystical experience is definitely a must have for all interested
in this genre.

The indispensible guide on Celtic shamanism For those called to or interested
in a Celtic path, Harner's "The Way of the Shaman": is useful
in a broad sense, but basically useless in the specific, as it ignores
almost totally the Indo-European traditions. This books fills that information
gap, and does much more as well. More scholarly than some of the other
books on the subject, but still very practical, it provides a good mix
of information and exploration. The only major problem is in the early
exercises; Matthews emphasizes their importance, but the instructions to
do them are very vague, making this book a little more difficult for the
beginner to enter into; nonetheless. it is still where to begin..

- Mindell's is one of the most sober-minded and informed recent books
on the subject. He warns us, for instance, that shamanism is not an individualistic
search for peak experience but a form of psychic community service. His
is an unsentimental, unsensational view of shamanism that emphasizes its
challenges rather than its ego-gratifying power. Using the vocabulary of
Carlos Castenada's Don Juan books, Mindell discusses shamanism in many
aspects of Western life--for instance, in therapy, medicine, and partnering.
His strong, mature voice merits wide hearing.
