Occult Russia: Pagan, Esoteric, and Mystical Traditions – Christopher McIntosh

This is an amazing publication regarding Russian history and how the Russian people have suffered through so many cycles of hardship and pain.  A significant part of their history which is coming full circle today is shamanism, which thousands of years ago was an integral part of everyday life. After years of oppressive Communistic rule, people are wanting to return to and understand the wisdoms of their past history.
