Reissue of this compelling book about the powerful shamanic world which has changed the lives of those who have read it
When the young Russian psychiatrist Olga Kharitidi set out on an impetuous journey into the snowboard Altai mountains of Siberia, she never dreamed that her experience there would shatter and rebuild her view of reality.
Among the wintry villages and pine forests of Siberia, guided by the mysterious sages she meets, Kharitidi unearths the ancient wellspring of the world’s mystical traditions, discovers deep secrets of healing and magic, and encounters revolutionary teachings about the true nature of the human soul.
Olga Kharitidi was born in Siberia, in the former Soviet Union. She worked for many years as a psychiatrist in a Soviet mental hospital. She has travelled throughout Siberia, Uzbekistan and Kazakstan, following the ancient way of knowledge as it spread from Siberia to Central Asia, Tibet and the Himalayas.
