About The Book
Shamanism is our modern endeavour to reclaim indigenous ways of being. Chaos Shamanism, a new current within this paradigm, aims to discern what is essential, amid the plethora of teachings and traditions now available. It is an attempt to create something that is truly our own. ‘Chaos’ refers to the postmodern cultural melting pot in which we find ourselves, and its freedoms and opportunities. Chaos also refers to the vast abyss of ancient Greek Creation Myth, out of which the universe arose. Chaos is therefore the Great Mystery at the heart of existence and at the heart of ourselves. In this sense it is a pushback against Shamanism-as-religion. This book gives a wide-ranging exposition of Shamanism and its practices, from a Chaos perspective.

Raves and Reviews
Barry Goddard challenges the structured, often sanitized approaches of Core Shamanism, inviting us instead into the raw, unpredictable currents of Chaos Shamanism. With a deep reverence for the wild intelligence of spirit, he reminds us that healing is not a transaction or a certificate but an ongoing, personal reckoning with the unseen forces that shape our lives. His reflections on embodied wisdom---whether through trees, spirits, or the mystery of lived experience---offer a potent call to those who seek true depth in their practice. Chaos Shamanism is a necessary, provocative read for anyone ready to move beyond formulaic spirituality and into the untamed soul of the work. -- Renee Baribeau, award-winning author of Winds of Spirit and A Pilgrim's Guide to Walking Wisdom
