Shamanism

Shamanism by Merete Demant Jakobsen

This book examines pristine shamanism in Greenland, among people contacted late by Western missionaries and settlers. On the basis of Danish material, the author questions Mircea Eliade's well-known definition of the shaman as the master of ecstasy and suggests that his role has to be seen as that of a master of spirits.
