Light of the Andes : in search of shamanic wisdom in Peru

Williams, J. E. (James Eugene) 1949- (Author).

Summary: "A work of hybrid ethnography and spiritual anthropology about the teachings of Ayni, the Q'ero way of knowledge and being. It is not a record of events and things. Rather, it forms a personal narrative, an allegory of seeking and discovery that documents the events that lead to the journey and high-altitude initiation on Ausangate with the traditional Q'ero shaman and wisdom keeper, Sebastian Pauccar Flores, in 2008." --pref.
