Shaman’s Drum reviews books and other media about shamanism or closely related subjects such as indigenous medicineways, ethnobotany, transpersonal healing, and ecstatic spirituality. Readers are advised that the editors of Shaman’s Drum adhere to the philosophy that reviews should review—not just promote—new books. We feel it is important to provide a critical assessment of the book, examining both its strengths and limitations. However, we usually do not review books unless we think they have considerable merit. Publishers are invited to send review copies to: Shaman's Drum Editors, P.O. Box 270, Williams, OR 97544.
