The following text is an excerpt from a long history of a shaman's life that was compiled by the author in 1973 and pub lished in Les Practiciens du rêve (Perrin, 1992). This work brings to light the ultimate harmony of the many aspects of shamanic life: vocation, initiation, drug use, the third sex, communication with the otherworld, the cost of the cure, etc.
