Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy
Mircea Eliade (1964) 619 pages

Shamanism is precisely on of the archaic techniques of ecstasy - at once mysticism, magic and "religion" in the broadest sense of the term. We have sought to present in its various historical and cultural aspects, and we have even tried to outline a brief history of the development of shamanism in Central and North Asia. But what we consider of greater importance is presenting the shamanic phenomenon itself, analyzing its ideology, discussing its techniques, its symbolism, its mythologies. We believe that such a study can be of interest not only to the specialist but also to the cultivated man, and it is to the latter that this book is primarily addressed. (Princeton/Bollingen)
