Publisher's Synopsis
An itinerary-only apparently circular-furrows the universe of Kulunge Rai shamanism in Nepal. A nomadic religion, generated within the space of a double geography that weaves vivid visionary foreshortenings into the flat weft of reality. An extraordinary journey through the principal places composing the universe of shamanic reality: the "call" by the spirits of the wood. The dreams and initiatic visions; the vocational sickness and flight into the forest - mandatory steps on the path to obtaining powers; the praxis of healing and funerary rituals, centred on the experience of a "magic journey" accomplished by crossing different regions of the cosmos.
