Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy by Mircea Eliade

4.0

An encyclopedic survey that was strongest at moments where he would compare the traditions and beliefs of different and distant cultures. I bought it for the Inuit sections and mainly focused my reading there. While those were great they did point to the age of the book and the sparse and dated research he was depending on. Curious about what has been done since.
