Amidst the many Indigenous traditions available in today's world, Chaos Shamanism shows how to create something that is truly your own. Shamanism is our modern endeavour to reclaim indigenous ways of being. Chaos Shamanism, a new current within this paradigm, aims to discern what is essential, amid the plethora of teachings and traditions now available. It is an attempt to create something that is truly our own. 'Chaos' refers to the postmodern cultural melting pot in which we find ourselves, and its freedoms and opportunities. Chaos also refers to the vast abyss of ancient Greek Creation Myth, out of which the universe arose. Chaos is therefore the Great Mystery at the heart of existence and at the heart of ourselves. In this sense it is a pushback against Shamanism-as-religion.

This book gives a wide-ranging exposition of Shamanism and its practices, from a Chaos perspective.
