Technicians Of Ecstasy: Shamanism And The Modern Artist
Author: Levy, Mark
Paperback Published: December 1993 Bramble Books US

This book grew, in part, out of an undergraduate course Dr. Levy taught at the San Francisco Art Institute. Finding that students were still subscribing to the 19th-century bohemian myth that to have a vision, one had to, in the words of Rimbaud, systematically derange one's senses, he attempted to expose them to an alternative myth that is more positive -- a myth rooted in the grounded practice of shamanic techniques.
