Itzcoatl Papalotzin, known as Agustín in Europe, presents his polished personal vision of shamanic philosophy, inviting us to read, enjoy and understand life. The Shaman’s Garden is three books in one: a book of knowledge, a poetic book and a book of exercises. Each one is designed to activate a part of your consciousness and create a state of wisdom and well-being. The first part explains shamanic terms, stories and anecdotes in an accessible way, as if around a fire on a full moon night. The second part is full of the mysticism of the navigator of knowledge, taking us on a journey through the cosmic memories of our consciousness. The third part offers the reader access to a methodology that will open the doors to the experience of inner peace. Whether you read one part or all of them, this is your book. You will find in it what you need right now.

“This book opens the door for all those who are curious about having a first encounter with the joy of Agustín’s shamanic world."
Víctor Sánchez, author of The Teachings of Don Carlos and A Toltec Path of Recapitulation

Itzcoatl Papalotzin (Agustín) is a shaman, seer and healer. In his 25 years as apprentice, and 15 as teacher, he has worked with groups in Mexico, North America, Europe and New Zealand. He has collaborated with American shamans (Huichol, Maya, Lakota, Apache, etc.), indigenous groups from the Amazon, Maoris of New Zealand and Tibetan monks from the Shartse monastery in India. He has trained in disciplines such as NLP, social anthropology and anti-anthropology. He bases his teachings on the tradition of the new Toltecs, which is the lineage he feels he belongs to. He is dedicated to spreading his knowledge and his interpretation of American wisdom, through his writing, lectures, courses and music; trying to remind his apprentices that life is a marvellous, magical journey, and that we can access knowledge through joy and happiness.

If you are a person who sighs deeply from the sadness in your soul that fuels your spiritual search… or if you have ever felt or believed that somewhere you have another family that you belong to but you don’t know quite how to find them or recognise them… if you have ever asked yourself why you were born in this world, at this time and with this body, and your soul feels out of place while your spirit has pushed you to grow as a human being, looking for the right way to live and making your life something worthwhile… if mysticism shines in your eyes and you don’t know how to explain what you know with absolute certainty to the people who surround you, and who love you… if you identify with some of this, you must read this book; maybe not all of it, maybe not in a linear way, but you must read it to awaken your sleeping memories.
