This phenomenologically oriented ethnography focuses on
experiential aspects of Yanomami shamanism, including shamanistic
activities in the context of cultural change. The author
interweaves ethnographic material with theoretical components of a
holographic principle, or the idea that the "part is equal to the
whole," which is embedded in the nature of the Yanomami macrocosm,
human dwelling, multiple-soul components, and shamans'
relationships with embodied spirit-helpers. This book fills an
important gap in the regional study of Yanomami people, and, on a
broader scale, enriches understanding of this ancient phenomenon by
focusing on the consciousness involved in shamanism through
firsthand experiential involvement.
