Book Review : Elemental Shaman by Omar W.Rosales

Elemental Shaman is a search for spirituality and the supernatural . He begins telling about his mother , who becomes sick after finding that her car was surrounded by powder mingled with drops of blood. He starts out on a quest to find the meaning and the a cure .
He meets with his first Toltec Shaman and experiences the spirit of Nino Fidencio.
I also found it very interesting when he tells the story of Maximon the patron saint of Lake Atitlan. He meets other Shamans and spirit guides, Buddhists and Buddhism. Traveling across the globe in his search for life questions.

Chapter 3, the last paragraph says: "The answers, or puzzle pieces it seemed, started to come together. I was never looking for a path. The whole time i was on a path. And not only did I need to find the healers of our age, I was also looking for a woman-a young woman with dark hair, soft eyes, a kind heart, and a beautiful soul. A woman who would be my destiny."

This is a difficult review because i don't really understand it all but i did learn something new about Shamans and spirtuality and it was very interesting. If your interested in Shamans and spiritual healings, this would be the perfect book. It is written very well with beautiful descriptions of the countries and people he visits.
