Im just getting started so i’ll like some books recomendation to get the basics and some others basics on chamanism please and thankss

Book Discussion - Best practical books for beginners ?
My interests lean mainly towards chaos magick but what are some books that provide practical techniques/exercises and a good roadmap if one wants to begin a practice?wizardforums.com
Thank you so muchThough it is a dated, old book, in my opinion it is still a good start.
Michael Harner is pretty much the founder of Core Shamanism, which as a system is functional and it does apply to most situations. It works.
Michael Harner's The Way of the Shaman is highly recommended.
Though much of her work is sketchy and culturally bound, I like her writing style and the book on the topic of journeys, Evelyn Rysdyk is decent. I find her work on the subject is a compliment to Harner's with more detail.
Evelyn C. Rysdyk's Spirit Walking is recommended.
When working with triggers, trance and overall aspects of physcial and mental control, Jan Fries is dope.
Highly recommend Jan Fries Seidways is greatly recommended.
Other than this, look towards Core Shamanism materials and their [Mod: removed web shop link].
