WTF?

Can someone squash this spam maggot before he breeds?

Spam?

What's up with the ad bots?

Hyper Indeed...

Thanks for this! I worked with a shaman when I lived in Canada and it changed my entire life. His name is Bernie Morin...not sure if he is still working with people but very powerful - the real deal.

Hello! I am part of the staff of World Shamanic Yoga Institute and I just joined Evolver. Just wanted to say hello and include you in my friends. :-)
Namaste

A couple of shamanism authors, if you please

Hi Robert - this list is AWESOME. We have a couple of authors on Shamanism who you might be interested in adding:

Jim DeKorne - author of Psychedelic Shamanism (being re-released in 2011, btw!) - Jimdekorne.com

Dale Pendell - author of the Pharmako Trilogy (just re-released in paperback!) - Dalependell.com

Both of these authors' books have been featured on Reality Sandwich.

Thanks for putting together this list! I'm not sure a more comprehensive list exists out there...
