Synopsis
In this brilliant analysis of ancient and contemporary shamanic practices, which reads like a good story, Noel illuminates: the rising tide of shamanism. The path that will enable Western seekers to become sorcerers. A model for renewed shamanic seeking. How, through dreams and imaginings, can come the spirituality of imaginal healing. A masterful account which tracks the primal practices of the religious life through literary as well as anthropological sources in which Noel manages to extricate the sham from the shamanic while extending our vision of what it is to live in a larger reality.

From Library Journal
A resurgence in alternative spiritual practices has led to the proliferation of writings; these two examples share a common link to Jungian psychology. Gillette (The Magician Within, Morrow, 1993) explains the ancient Maya view of the world and afterlife. In relating the art and writings of the Maya shamans, Gillette invites readers to use their imagination to journey back to the Maya world and explore Maya practices to affirm life and achieve immortality. Using Jungian tools of interpretation to understand Maya myths, Gillette decodes the Maya belief in finding the divine center of the soul where God and human beings are one. Noel (Paths to the Power of Myth, Crossroad, 1990) refers to the writing of Carlos Castaneda, relating it to Merlin and underscoring it with the Jungian psychology of imagination. Noel provides a model for renewed shamanic seeking. Through dreams and imaginings can come the spirituality of imaginal healing, and the loss of imagination equates to the loss of the soul. He draws from two decades of work with shamanic imagining, relating in anecdotal fashion psychological assumptions of renewed shamanic seeking. Both books are best suited to academic libraries.?L.
