Animal Medicine details the trance journeying techniques of the Mesoamerican shamanic traditions as well as their shapeshifting practices.

In addition to an alphabetical guide to 76 animals found in these practices, this book also shows you multiple ways to connect with these animals for spiritual guidance, self-empowerment, and healing to help enrich your life.
