Primitive Magic: The Psychic Powers Of Shamans And Sorcerers

the psychic powers of shamans and sorcerers

Plot

The idea of magic challenges our modern concepts of reality and the natural order of things but for shamans and sorcerers it is as tangible and real as anything in the physical world. Ernesto de Martino describes societies where magic is a way of life; where sorcerers shamans diviners and fire-walkers form powerful bonds with the psychic realities of nature. This is a thorough study that is both scholarly and readable.
