Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:In this exploration, Tom Cowan employs literary history to discover the shamanic roots of the Celtic spirit. It explores the shamanic roots of druidism, witchcraft and Celtic Christianity. Cowan draws together the shamans and the bards of old Europe and tells their spellbinding stories of shapeshifting and vision work. He cites the celtic myths and poems that evoke a strong connection to the ways of the shaman, and the spiritual importance that the words, story-telling and drumming can have in contemporary society.
Review:"An engrossing, intelligent, and shamanically well-informed work that is an important gift to all those Westerners seeking a knowledge of Celtic shamanism." (-- Michael Harner, Ph.D., author of The Way of the Shaman) Review:"An important and fascinating work on Celtic shamanism. Highly recommended." (-- Serge Kahili King, author of Urban Shaman) Review:"A fascinating and entertaining study ... [illuminating] glimpses of an original Celtic shamanism that appears in British and Irish folklore and liteary remains. Fire in the Head also offers an account of Celtic supernaturalism in general, and unveils the mysterious background of certain folk heroes, such as Robin Hood." (-- Åke Hultkrantz, author of Native Religions of North America) Review:"A remarkable exploration of shamanism [using] cross-cultural myths to explain the history and roots of the Celtic spirit." (-- Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self) Synopsis:Shows how synchronicity (the phenomenon of meaningful coincidences) occurs in and enriches ordinary life; provides the key for each individual to interpret the synchronistic events in his or her life; and gives fresh insight into those relationships, dreams, and flashes of perception that touch and transform our lives. Synopsis:In "The Song of Wandering Aengus," William Butler Yeats refers to the "fire in the head" that characterizes the visionary experience. Tom Cowan has pursued this theme in a lyrical cross-cultural exploration of shamanism and the Celtic imagination that examines the myths and tales of the ancient Celtic poets and storytellers, and outlines techniques used to access the shaman's world. About the AuthorTom Cowan is the author of How to Tap Into Your Own Genius and the coauthor of Power of the Witch and Love Magic.
