Summary: Authentic, indigenous shamanic traditions
Comment: This is a very good journal that runs toward the academic/intellectual. The reviewers - who seem to have anthropology backgrounds - work at screening out "inauthentic" material, books and articles that usurp indigenous traditions or make up stuff. Books get reviewed more readily if the author has that PhD after their names. Fiction is rather out as well (though if they deem your novel authentic enough, they will list you). Castenada is exposed as the [...] he is.
The editors seem to truly respect the old cultures, and work more at revealing these traditions as a form of preservation and learning from them, rather than from borrowing (stealing?)then mushing elements all together into a New Age neoshaman deal where - after paying big bucks - you learn to fly overnight or get rich by drumming...you know, "the secret". The true shaman practicing in context within his or her own culture is the centerpiece here. And it isn't always pretty or understandable or sanitary to the urbanite westerner. So proceed with that in mind if you are looking for easy "magick" tricks. \

Summary: The Shaman's Drum
Comment: This is a great publication. I read it cover to cover the day I got it. The articles were very informative and I learned a bit about other cultures, their beliefs, and their practices. I enjoyed the articles that gave the authors' personal experiences as well.

Summary: The best Shamanic magazine around
Comment: I have been a dedicated reader of this magazine for several years. I have always thoroughly enjoyed the articles and thought provoking material. This is NOT A "NEW AGE" magazine! It is for those who are interested in "core shamanism" and rituals by indigenous people(s). It would also be of interest to those who are into anthropology. Most of the articles are written from experiences gathered from time spent with native healers from around the world in their native environment (amazon jungle, mexico,etc.). Lots of information/journeys with psychotropic plant medicines. Anyone with an interest/background in shamanism (harner method or otherwise) will get a great deal out of this publication.
