Shamanism and Tantra in the Himalayas

Description

This book provides well-documented research and insight regarding the contribution of pre-buddhist cultures to our current understanding of Tantrism and Vajrayana.

The depth of detailed knowledge regarding the symbolism, rituals and indigenous wisdom of the Nepali shamans can be attributed to the authors combined expertise in the fields of anthropology, ethnobotany, art history, and ethnography.
