A brief history of Greenland and the shaman tradition launched the reader into the ancient traditions of Greenland. This new, edited edition of the book features a publisher introduction by Neil Christopher and a re-translated and edited chapter on Shamans, witches, and witchcraft by Robin Fenrir Mansa Hillestr m. Illustrations by contemporary Greenlandic and Nordic artists transport the mythological beings into the 21st Century.
