One of the main tenets of shamanism is a belief in the power of ceremony to manifest change in the physical world. Virtually all shamanic traditions use a variety of ritual practices as tools for personal transformation, healing, and celebration.

Now, in this exciting and practical book, Toltec shaman and New York Times best-selling author don Jose Ruiz introduces and explains a wealth of these shamanic rituals and ceremonies, and provides a detailed and accessible guide to performing them on your own.

This book will teach you how to:::

Choose and create power objects
Build a personal altar and medicine wheel
Align your life with the cycles of nature
Find and work with your spirit animals
Honor your ancestors, undertake power journeys, and much more

Like the medicine bag itself, this book is a potent tool kit of spiritual practices meant to open you to a world of beauty, exploration, and transformation. By offering step-by-step instructions in each chapter, don Jose Ruiz has made these rituals and ceremonies accessible to everyone who feels called to travel the shamanic path.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.Foreword When my son Jose was eleven years old, I took him and his older brother Miguel Jr., who was fourteen at the time, to Madre Grande, a mountain in Southern California. While we’d visited the mountain previously for family events that included hiking and cookouts, Madre Grande also had special significance beyond that, as it is where my mother, Sarita, a curandera, or “faith healer,” would often share with us the sacred teachings of our family’s Toltec tradition. Sarita was the keeper of the wisdom tradition of our family for her generation.

After we arrived at Madre Grande that day, I asked the boys if they were ready to be initiated into the path of the Toltec, to which they both eagerly agreed. This coming-of-age ceremony took place approximately thirty years ago, and it marked the beginning of a long apprenticeship they would undertake to learn the ways of our ancestors, culminating years later in both becoming master teachers in their own right.

While Jose and Miguel Jr. share much in common, they have taken slightly different routes in sharing the teachings of our family in their own unique way. Miguel Jr. has brought the ideas to a largely mainstream community, while Jose has embraced the shamanic origin of the Toltec tradition, and explained these ancient teachings in a way the modern world can understand.

Unlike some forms of shamanism, the Toltec tradition places a special emphasis on unconditional love and personal healing as the means by which we create transformation in ourselves and the world. We teach that we are all the artists of our own lives, and that we have the power to change our lives if we don’t like the ones we’re living.

In fact, the truth is that it’s only when we change ourselves that we change the world. This axiom has been stated in various ways by many of the great teachers in every spiritual tradition. In my opinion, this message is needed today as much as ever. When we look around this beautiful planet, we see so many of our fellow humans suffering—mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically—and as a result they often feel blocked from the innate sense of self-love, joy, and peace that is available to us all.

It’s time to heal from this kind of suffering, and the book you are holding in your hands right now can help you do exactly that. In the pages that follow, my son, don Jose Ruiz, will share specific rituals and ceremonies from our Toltec tradition that can help you come into harmony with your innermost self and the world around you.

The shamanic practices described here will teach you how to take the raw material of life—physical pieces of the natural world, along with your inner thoughts and intentions—and draw out their meaning and power through ceremony. This is the joining of spirit and substance, of intention and action, all with the purpose of helping yourself—and in turn, others on this beautiful planet.

To be our own healers, we must look into our wounds, not turn away from them, or try to ignore them. Doing so takes bravery and stamina, but it’s only when we understand our wounds and heal them that we transform our lives.

In my opinion, there has never been a more important time to do this work. My hope is that you will take the tools Jose describes in these pages and create the life you deserve.

All my love,
Don Miguel Ruiz
Author of The Four Agreements

A book of real magic

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020

The media could not be loaded.

I have been a student and practitioner of ritual for a long time. I think this is the first book I’ve read that makes the process of developing personal rituals so understandable.

Many approaches are filled with arcane or complex ideas—and a sense that you had better get everything right or risk tearing a hole in the universe or something. This book is about reconnecting with life and using this connection to heal your own life in every sense.

I loved the personal stories and how the author wove in the lore of his Toltec tradition. I bought this book in Kindle form but will now order the hard copy because it’s one that will need to be dogeared, marked, and reread.

I found this video by the author that reveals his heart and a little of the tradition from which this book has its roots.

I absolutely love this book thus far. I am 3/4 of the way done and I cannot wait to start implementing some of the tools they give in this book to lead a life of balance and harmony. The Toltec teachings they discuss in this book are spiritual, yet very simple. It resonates with me on a soul level.

10/10 would reccomend (very beginner friendly)

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

I usually don't leave reviews but I had to since I finished the book already and I JUST got a couple days ago. I was a little skeptical on buying it at first since I just saw it through Amazon and just bought it cause I wanted to begin my spiritual journey and didnt know where to start and this was the first book to pop up and I'm honestly SO GLAD I CHOSE TO BUY IT! It's really a must ready for beginners, its short, sweet, and to the point but still very meaningful. My life has felt so stagnant lately n this book really helped me open my eyes to a lot. I really truly believe this book didnt pop up on accident n if ur looking for a sign, this is it! This book is the one!

A great read. A great book. This book has been therapeutic to me just by reading each word. This book brings a sense of the author being with you in the here and now being your mentor your teacher. The words, the rituals jumped right into my being. I can't say enough. It'll be a life changer. EVEN If you only pick one ritual one idea it'll be a life changer. A good simple read yet powerful! OMG... powerful !

Happy Shopper!

Such great wisdom!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Love this book, it's packed full of the wisdom of the toltec way of life. Such wise people walked this earth before us and we've sadly lost most of their wisdom down the line. If only we could all tune into this sort of ancient wisdom from so many different paths, this messed up world of ours would be such a better place for all.
