Supporting three wives, twelve children, and assorted relatives,
Mohan Rai is a thoroughly modern man, convinced he's escaped an
outmoded duty to follow his father as shaman to his Bhutanese
village. But the gods and spirits, ancient protectors of the tribe,
have other ideas. Dishonored and vengeful, they enter his dreams
and haunt his days, destroying his business, his health, his
sanity, and finally, his freedom. Based on Mohan's letters from
prison, this true account by his first Western initiate will
transform your worldview. "Ellen's retelling of Mohan Rai's
first-hand account of his shamanic apprenticeship in Bhutan is a
valuable contribution to the preservation of this ancient
knowledge." -- Michael Harner, Ph.D., author, The Way of the
Shaman, and Founder, Foundation for Shamanic Studies. "I was
fascinated. Like Autobiography of a Yogi, Mohan Rai's story shares
much wisdom. Portraying his training from childhood in the ancient,
mystical traditions of the shaman, this book brings a hopeful
vision I will carry into my everyday life forever...a reminder of
the mysteries that sustain our lives and how little we know." --
Hal Zina Bennett, Ph.D., author, Spirit Animals and the Wheel of
Life; Earth-Centered Practices for Everyday Living. Ellen Winner is
an initiate into the Himalayan Rai and Tamang shamanic traditions,
a Foundation for Shamanic Studies Three-year graduate, and a Harner
Method certified shamanic counselor. At her day job she is a patent
attorney. She lives with her husband, Joe O'Laughlin, in Boulder,
Colorado.
