Shamans for years, I think the best way I've heard it described was this rad book called The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby. And he says the shaman's goal is to, you know, lead you to the realm of the spirits.

Why people recommend it

The Cosmic Serpent by Jeremy Narby explores the startling parallels between molecular biology, DNA, and traditional shamanic knowledge. Brian Muraresku enthusiastically recommended the book on the Lex Fridman Podcast, explaining that he discovered it as a total impulse buy at a Barnes and Noble on 6th Avenue in New York. He noted that it left a lasting impact on him and ultimately introduced him to the work of Graham Hancock. Similarly, Chris Aubrey Marcus brought up Jeremy Narby's work during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience. He praised it as a brilliant text for understanding the perspective of shamans, particularly how these practitioners guide individuals into the realm of the spirits. Both speakers highlighted the book as a profound exploration of altered states of consciousness and indigenous wisdom, cementing its status as a fascinating read for those curious about alternative ways of perceiving reality and the hidden connections running through nature, science, and ancient anthropological traditions.
