Spirit possession is an integral part of shamanism as well as many neo-pagan forms of worship that draw down deities or invite spirit possession. However, spirit possession is not for the unprepared. In \u003ci\u003eDrawing Down the Spirits\u003c\/i\u003e, Kenaz Filan and Raven Kaldera, both initiated and experienced in shamanic and Vodou traditions, present the practical guidance needed to participate in ritual possession. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAddressing the benefits and the dangers that await the naive, Filan and Kaldera show that there is no such thing as a guaranteed \"safe\" possession because spirits have their own agenda--and they are much more powerful than we are. The authors provide a variety of techniques to prepare for possession and abort possession and to promote the safety of the possessed as well as the spirits and witnesses present. With a wide-ranging look at the historic forms of ritual possession found throughout the world--including Uganda, Nepal, Korea, Bali, Greece, Turkey, Scandinavia, and France--the authors also include numerous firsthand accounts collected from witnesses of modern spirit possession.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kenaz Filan, Raven Kaldera\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 159477269X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781594772696\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Destiny Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.02w x 0.88d","brand":"Kenaz Filan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996355625215,"sku":"9781594772696","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_615f36fd-8b17-40d4-9cda-cd10ba68ea47.jpg?v=1683341216","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drawing-down-the-spirits-kenaz-filan-9781594772696","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
