Publisher: Jan-Carol Publishing, Inc.
This book grew out of the first seven years of August Lageman’s practice as a shaman. The book shows how the teachings of the Four Winds Society actually work with clients. In addition, August kept an open mind and integrated tools and insights from other forms of healing such as reiki and Holographic Healing. This book demonstrates how a person with a rocky childhood can heal from early wounds with the help of skilled shamans. August writes from his heart. You will learn how a shaman needs to be ready for the unexpected.
Interview with AUGUST LAGEMAN
Can you tell us a little bit about the characters in SHAMANISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY?
In my book Shamanism in the 21st century I am the narrator, so I do not develop as a character. I tell stories of the people I have healed.
Can you tell us a little bit about your next books or what you have planned for the future?
My next book will be on how to train people to become shamans.
How long does it take you to write a book?
It takes me one year.
What is your favorite childhood book?
I cannot remember my favorite childhood book, but I can remember books about fairy tales and my favorite one is Jack and the Giant Beanstalk, where the little person outwits the giant.
If you could spend the day with one of the characters from SHAMANISM IN THE 21ST CENTURY who would it be? Please tell us why you chose this particular character, where you would go and what you would do.
I would not spend it with a character. I would spend it with Luigi Pirrandelo, the author of 6 Characters in Search of an Author, and try to better understand his work.
What was the hardest scene from Shamanism in the 21st Century to write?
The hardest scene from my own book is writing about my own childhood abuse.
What made you want to become a writer?
I became a writer because of my passion for healing people as a shaman.
