Leafing through the pages of this book we will follow an ancient path, discovering fascinating stories whose protagonists are men and women from various parts of the world, united by the ability to enter into communication with spirits or divinities and undertake a "shamanic" journey crossing the boundaries between worlds: through trance, the shaman enters into communication with what is incomprehensible. Point of reference for the community, he is a healer, fortune teller and guardian of ancestral knowledge. Through these tales, taken from the folklore and myth of various peoples, we will discover the stories of extraordinary beings capable of performing an initiation and traveling alongside the spirits to bring back something good for their community.
