Is shamanism all that different from modern witchcraft? According to Christopher Penczak, Wicca's roots go back 20,000 years to the Stone Age shamanic traditions of tribal cultures worldwide. A fascinating exploration of the Craft's shamanic origins, The Temple of Shamanic Witchcraft offers year-and-a-day training in shamanic witchcraft. Penczak's third volume of witchcraft teachings corresponds to the water element - guiding the reader into this realm of emotion, reflection, and healing. The twelve formal lessons cover shamanic cosmologies, journeying, dreamwork, animal/plant/stone medicine, totems, soul retrieval, and psychic surgery. Each lesson includes exercises (using modern techniques and materials), assignments, and helpful tips. The training ends with a ritual for self-initiation into the art of the shamanic witch--culminating in an act of healing, rebirth, and transformation. COVR Award Winner… (more)

Love this book series! 💜💜💜 ( )

A fairly interesting book with some unique ideas and concepts. One thing I really liked about this book is how it really talked about spirit relations, and it also talks about the nature of the other levels of the Otherworld. One of my biggest complaints and beef about this book is that really does not truly seem to differentiate between simply doing a guided mediation or visualization to actual journeying at points. Other than that a really nice book. ( )

I could not put this book down! Excellent excellent introduction to shamanic practice, intended for an audience well practiced with meditation and magick. The exercises in each chapter are invaluable. ( )

Epigraph
I am the wind that blows across the sea;
I am a wave of the deep;
I am the roar of the ocean;
I am the stag of seven battles;
I am a hawk on the cliff;
I am a ray of sunlight;
I am the greenest of plants;
I am the wild boar;
I am a salmon in the river;
I am a lake on the plain;
I am the word of knowledge;
I am the point of a spear;
I am the lure beyond the ends of the earth;
I can shift my shape like a god.

—The "Song of Amergin," The Book of Invasions
Dedication
To my husband, Steve, my parents, Ron and Rosalie, and all my spirit allies, guides, and teachers.
First words
After learning what most consider to be traditional witchcraft—meditation, circle casting, spell work, and the Wheel of the Year—I hit a block.
