Any other shamans willing to point me in the right direction?

Mediocracy is very correct...you won't learn shamanism from books but by life experience. The majority of practising shamans have usually undergone a near death experience sometime during their lives. This is not, however, a hard rule! The tingling could be any number of things. As a shaman you will experience many things that others don't. You are unique in your interpretations of these phenomena. I wish you well on your path. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) BTW,"the Way of the Shaman" by Michael Harner isn't bad, nor are the books by Caitlin and John Matthews.... -------------------- Rest in Peace Bym. http://www.sacred-magick.org/index.php?showtopic=7662 ~The Sacred Magick Management
