Shamanism And Tantra Himalayas

The book is well written but they have used the misunderstood the informations the writers have received from their informants.The books is totally inclined into Hinduism and also gives false information about the gods and deities. For eg. they have written that Padmasambhava is shiva, and that is truly wrong! There are numerous other huge mistakes. I bought this book after reviewing the reviews but I think that those people who gave those really good reviews did not have any knowledge regarding shamanism and tantra. The book also shows pictures of guru dragphur (Guru Drakpo as a Phurba) but it says that it is a form of Bhairab/Mahakala! They have also written that Guru Drakpo is a wrathful manifestation of Shiva! And that is truly, with no doubt wrong! As Guru Drakpo is a wrathful manifestation of Padmasambhava. There are things I would like to say but they cannot be written in reviews.I urge you all to not be fooled by the fancy photo of the cover of the book and the description. 🙏🏻

I am growing some raat ki rani (hasna) plant in New York weather. This book shares some perspective of how to use them. It also shares information and techniques on mugwort which can be found easily in Randall's island easily.

Very good book with good photos too

This is the most comprehensive book you will ever find about tamang shamanism. I have been initiated in this practice in Nepal . A true gem.

Without a doubt one of the best books I've come across in a long time. Cuts through a lot of the politically correct misrepresentations concerning Himalayan shamanism and tantra with discussion and documentation concerning the use of psychoactive plants and shrooms, flying herbs, and other consciousness-altering substances. Highly recommend.

Beautiful and interesting book. As others have said, not really Tibetan Tantra so much as Nepalese Tantric, Bon and shamanic practices. If you are interested in the origins and older manifestations of these things, you will be fascinated. Really beautifully illustrated. The authors clearly love their work and have spent a lot of time doing the research. Highly recommended.
