This work explores one of the lesser-known facets of the shamanic phenomenon: the symbolism of the images that accompany rituals, an essential part of the shaman's equipment so that he can operate on ordinary reality.

Based on rigorous theoretical and field research, with carefully chosen examples from various cultural traditions, Ana María Llamazares shows us how images of shamanic art are also visionary images that condense their power and sacredness. And how these can contribute to the awakening of a "shamanity" through the imaginative path.

A book of great interest to people interested in shamanism, expanded states of consciousness, art, archaeology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy or universal symbolism.
