Tales of Power

Written by  Michael Berman

Publisher's Description:

Like the shaman, the storyteller is a walker between the worlds, a mediator between our known world and that of the unknown – someone who is able to commune with dragons and elves, with faeries and angels, with magical and mythical beasts, with Gods and Goddesses, heroes and demons; someone who is able to pass freely from this world into those above and those below and to help us to experience those other realms for ourselves. He or she is not only the archetypal magician but also the archetypal guide. In Tales of Power Dr Michael Berman shares with the reader the craft of the storyteller along with many shamanic tales of power from around the world. The book also includes guidance on becoming a storyteller and using the story as ceremony.

Michael Berman works as a teacher and a writer. Publications include The Power of Metaphor for Crown House, The Nature of Shamanism and the Shamanic Story, Shamanic Journeys through the Caucasus and Journeys Outside Time. Michael trained as a Core Shamanic Counsellor with the Scandinavian Centre for Shamanic Studies

Editor's Thoughts:

Tales of Power is delightful. No matter what culture, age, or education, we are all creatures who love a story. Story telling helps us grow, learn, and figure out the world. From ancient times when story-tellers would wander through the towns and villages telling stories to rapt audiences, to today's multi-plex movie theaters, we all love stories. Michael Berman has written an homage to the story tellers and has shared stories from a multitude of cultures. I hope you will be as engrossed as I was in this book. My favorite? Perhaps The Frog and the Crocodile.
