A Shaman’s Tale is the autobiographical narrative about one man’s journey to spiritual awareness. This journey is not a religious or political one, but one that transcends dimension, space, and time. Through his experience as a shaman and his encounters with the paranormal, Richard Alaniz explains how paranormal experiences may bring awareness to the spirit world in a way that serves individuals who are in search of higher consciousness.
