The rich textures of shamanistic experiences are investigated through case studies spanning from ancient times to the present day as the theme 'Spirits and Stones' provides the basis of discussion which seek to explore the wilderness of connections between shamanic practitioners, the spirit world and the world of rock art imagery.
