FAQ Rating: \*\* (16 reviews; 2 *, 9 \*\*, 5 \*\*\*, 0 \*\*\*\*)
 
* Good book, but not very suited for Mythic Europe. With a little work, you could make up a great Mythic North America with it, though.
* Improved in [[Dragon and the Bear]].
* Pretty out of place in ME.
* Made more sense than Werewolf or Mage - unfortunately, ArM is not the World of Darkness.
* Buy [[Hedge Magic]] instead.
* Completely unnecessary and so out of paradigm that it stings like a mosquito bite right between your shoulder blades.
* Pretty good guide to shamans, but smacks of American Indian shamanism.
* Its poor fit with ME is a pity for an otherwise interesting book.
* White Wolf's Treatment of shamanism. Interesting.
* Beautiful, but limited use.
* ...being non-American, I am not displeased with this source book's Amerind flavor (this brings 'exotism' into play).
* Useful to build an [[Order of Odin]] and using Vikings in a saga.
* One of the better treatments of shamanism in any rpg, but doesn't fit really well into Ars Magica, nor does it seem like it would be fun to use in a game.
