An Encyclopedia of Shamanism, Vol 1 & 2
  by Christina Pratt,  Rosen Publishing Group, 2007

This inclusive two-volume Encyclopedia combines the philosophy, concepts, and practical elements that make up shamanism. With over 750 in-depth entries, organized A-Z, the Encyclopedia of Shamanism contains essential information about shamanic methods and practices across cultures, ten introductory essays that clearly discuss the basic concepts of shamanism, bibliography, and cross reference index. Each entry includes sources for further reading. “This two-volume set…ably introduces an astounding variety of shamanic traditions and concepts, with surprisingly few errors of fact. …On the whole, Pratt does a good job of reducing complicated shamanological theories into easy-to-grasp concepts… The set’s contents are rich enough to provide shamanic practitioners with some stimulating windows into the transformative worlds of both traditional and contemporary shamanisms. Unlike many cross-cultural overviews on shamanism, the essays and many of the entries in these volumes are enriched by the author’s personal background in several experiential shamanic traditions.” Timothy White, Shaman’s Drum Magazine.
