Looking To Start Learning Shamanism, Where to start?

I also would like to learn Astral Projection which I have been trying to learn for a couple months now, and from the little bit I've read it seems there's a lot of OBE stuff going on with Shamanism I was wondering what are a couple good books to start me off? I've only read a little bit of Shaman, Healer, Sage by Alberto Villoldo -------------------- Compassionless love! “Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.” “The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.” - Aleister Crowley

This is all so abstract it's very hard for me to explain. I still haven't gotten any books though, low on money. But anyways I'm almost positive (I'm never 100%) that my animal guide has revealed itself. One problem though, it's showing up everywhere. At least once a week since I originally saw it in real life. And I've got no clue what to do or how to communicate with it. I've been thinking about it and waiting for an answer but there's no real way for me to communicate with it. I guess I just need to get a book and learn how to take a journey to the "lower worlds" as monkeyGeneral mentioned. Any thoughts? -------------------- Compassionless love! “Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.” “The joy of life consists in the exercise of one's energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience.
