Animal Medicine: A Curanderismo Guide to Shapeshifting, Journeying & Animal Allies
Join curendara Erika Buenaflor for a discussion of her new book Animal Medicine: A Curanderismo Guide to Shapeshifting, Journeying & Connecting with Animal Allies.
In Animal Medicine, Erika Buenaflor explores the animal mythologies, spirit journeying techniques, and shapeshifting practices of ancient shamanic traditions and modern-day curanderismo. She explores why certain animals are associated with and provide access to the non-ordinary realms. She details how to enter into a trance journey to go into these nonordinary realms, be guided by or shapeshift into an animal associated with that realm, and access the sacred gifts and spiritual medicine they offer. She explores how we can strengthen our connections with our spirit animal guides.
