“What I really like about this book is the fact that it is not only a guide on how to use shamanism, but also contains many rituals that I have never seen explained before! All the basics are covered such as the three worlds and the variety of spirits shamans may encounter. Mr Nelson explains why shamanic work may help and also what to expect if used. There are may examples of real people doing the rituals and their experiences and results. This book is very unique in that it fills the void that many shamanic books have. That is what others have experienced when doing the rituals and also more detail on how to actually perform the ceremonies. This is an excellent book for beginning and IMO also the more experience shaman who wants some new ideas on how to repair and heal the human condition.”

“Studying with Mark is joyful, fun, serious, and true spiritual work. He understands student's needs intuitively, puts you at ease, and connects you with your teaching spirits. He helps you navigate the world of spirit ethically and with purpose, while instilling in you important considerations when collaborating with spirit to allow you to extend your wings and fully explore. Mark met me where I was, while seeing where I could be, and offered support that made my experience as his student extraordinary. I am so grateful to be doing this work with him.”

“I'm very excited to read Mark Nelson's new book "Shamanism". It is an amazing guide to understanding more about Shamanism and our working relationship with spirits. It is clearly written with topics like shamanic journeying, divination and healing. There is a great deal of knowledge shared with the reader. This is brought to life by real-life examples which illustrate how to carry out rituals, distance healing or soul retrieval. It comes highly recommended to assist you in your Shamanic learning journey.”

“There is so much to read and learn about shamanism and it cannot all be stuffed in one book. Nelson however does fit an incredible amount of useful info into a 200+ page book, including the basics (history, tools...), and a section on healing, nature and intermediate work. This is a great reference piece, not necessarily something I would read in one go (which I did just do for reviewing purposes), but rather pick up whenever I need to get more familiar with a certain subject, whether it be a ritual or a correspondence. So I would like to have this in my library as a psychical book, can recommend!”

“What a great overview of a meditative and natural healing and Earth connection practice. Not common to find such a good overview of Shamanism, which few know of or understand - but is a precious practice that should be embraced by more! Definitely recommended!”

— Bonita, reviewer, USA

“I have been studying shamanism with Mark for over 6 years, and he has helped me develop and deepen my understanding of the core shamanic concepts. I appreciate his down to earth approach, where he delves into the theory while also teaching you to think for yourself. Through Mark, I’ve learnt the ability to independently navigate the shamanic path and deepen my personal relationship with spirit.”

— Sylvia, Hong Kong

“Mark has experience in shamanic practices across cultures so his lessons are in-depth and he’s generous in sharing his (significant) knowledge base. He aims to help students connect with spirit directly and supplies opportunities for self-reflection, healing and growth. I highly recommend Mark’s classes to anyone interested in shamanic practices.”
