This book examines the contemporary resurgence of shamanism within a global, modern context, where materialism, political power, and spiritual belief increasingly intersect. Through high-profile cases—from celebrity shamans in the West to mysterious deaths among Russian energy elites—the prologue frames shamanism as a phenomenon no longer confined to the margins of society. Tracing the origins of the term “shaman” to Siberian traditions, the book defines shamans as individuals capable of entering altered states of consciousness to access non-ordinary realities and intervene on behalf of others. It distinguishes between hereditary shamans and those initiated through spiritual possession, and introduces six practitioners whose experiences form the core of the work. By presenting multiple accounts of otherworldly dimensions and spirit encounters, the book suggests a plurality of parallel realms beyond ordinary perception. The prologue positions the renewed public visibility of shamans as a cultural sign of instability and transformation, proposing that humanity may be approaching a period of profound upheaval in which spiritual mediation regains urgent relevance.
