The World of the Shaman - Johannes Setälä (OOP)

Johannes Setälä's Shamanic World continues the previous work's stunning praise of the depths of the mind and other dimensions. The starting point is still the power and understanding of the universe that emerges from humanity's oldest surviving tradition. In this work, this understanding is also illuminated with the results of the sciences of philosophy, biology, physics, etc. Shamanic reality is not far in the past, but it also works now and in the future.

As we gather the pieces of our currently fragmented world, shamanic consciousness provides a more solid foundation for this work. Not everything is so broken after all, for there is a common thread. Our lives are not just tied to this one visible reality, but are a multidimensional and layered weave from past to future, from life to life.

In the midst of an increasingly mechanized world, we are beginning to question the meaning and place of humans in all of this. Do we exist as humans? Are we becoming part of the machine? How can we perceive the direction of development? Do we want to influence the direction? What means do we have? These are some of the questions that Shaman's World seeks to answer.

Ylinen and Alinen are familiar names in shamanism, but what do they really mean? What do Shaman Tree, World Mountain, and Tuonen and Elämänvirta mean?

Johannes Setälä's over 30 years of experience in shamanism and its interpretation through art opens up previously unseen dimensions to the course of development. This is also helped by his extensive network of contacts with many indigenous shamans and wise men.
