Praise for this book

“What I love about listening to Evelyn Rysdyk discuss shamanism is her ability to combine ancient lore with modern science so seamlessly that you would swear you can't have one without the other. With the lyrical voice of an artist she taps into our memories of old, 'forgotten' ways and helps us understand them in terms of the latest findings in physics, psychology, and ecology. She is a wonderful guide for spirit walking between the worlds. Walk with her.”

— Tom Cowan, author of Fire in the Head and Yearning for the Wind

Occult literature desk

While 'Spirit Walking' offers a clear pathway for beginners to engage with shamanic concepts, it may not suit skeptics or those seeking rigorous anthropological analysis. The text prioritizes experiential practice over academic depth, making it less appropriate for readers who prefer dense theoretical frameworks. However, for those willing to embrace the premise that all existence possesses consciousness, the guidance is empowering. It effectively demystifies journeying techniques, though its accessibility might feel too simplistic for advanced practitioners already well-versed in complex esoteric systems. It remains a solid entry point for genuine seekers.
