Decoding Orinoco Shamans

About this book

This book is a tribute to the shamans of the Orinoco, those men who learned to bow to nature by using the multiple facets of the human mind. It is also the expression of a blood debt of more than five hundred years, for where many saw only charlatanism and deception, there was an elaborate tradition of wisdom, far ahead of its time, which vanished forever as a result of the violence that followed the discovery of America.
