The shaman is an enigmatic figure - a healer, magician and
visionary who moves between the everyday world and the realm of
gods and spirits. "The Shamans Quest" describes the spiritual
journeys of four shamans from different corners of the world - the
arctic snows of Canada, the central Australian desert, the sacred
mountains of Japan, and the forests of north-western South America.
From the North comes a tale of the Inuit shaman Enoyuk and his
magical adventures with different gods and spirit-helpers. In the
South we enter the world of the Aboriginal elder Kalu, with his
sacred desert Dreamings, and in the East we meet Saimei, a Japanese
shamaness who lives in a world of kami spirits. And in the West we
encounter Baiya, a shaman from the Amazonian forest who undertakes
visionary journeys so he may perform tasks of spiritual healing. In
"The Shamans Quest" these four shamans finally come together at the
mythic centre of the world, and it is a very special purpose which
has brought them here - for they have come to witness the healing
of the Earth. Exploring universal themes of spiritual renewal, "The
Shamans Quest" shows us how we can find the Great Song of Life and
learn to value the sacred qualities of Nature and the Universe.
