An account of experiences with a shaman, a la Carlos Castaneda and Lynn Andrews, written by a woman who studied and trained with a shaman as part of a small San Francisco Bay Area group. She reports on her experiences in accompanying the group on numerous trips to work with the forces of nature, use power objects, work with energy, contact spiritual beings, and participate in other activities. >>>The book was originally published in two sold-out printings by a small publisher who ran into financial difficulties and the author got back the rights. (Published book). <<<
SECRETS OF THE SHAMAN and SHAMAN INITIATION. A continuation of the experiences described in Shaman Warrior, based on additional personal training in Southern California with the same shaman.

I couldn't find out who this alleged shaman was, though she does claim to have studied for a grand total of *two years* with the guy.
