Focused on my experience of such a journey as an anthropologist researching magic, it details the effects of my own shamanic soul loss and eventual soul retrieval. Both personal and universal, it combines multiple forms of knowledge encountered through more-than-human realms of the inspirited imagination that have resonance with how we live today.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; mso-ansi-language: EN-IN; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\"\u003eSusan Greenwood is a former Lecturer and Visiting Fellow at Goldsmiths, University of London, and a past Lecturer and Senior Research Fellow at the University of Sussex, UK. She holds a PhD in anthropology from Goldsmiths, where she taught courses on the anthropology of religion and the anthropology of the body. She has also lectured for many years at the University of Sussex on Shamanic Consciousness and Altered States of Consciousness. Since her doctoral fieldwork on British practitioners of magic, published as Magic, Witchcraft and the Otherworld by Berg in 2000 (republished by Routledge in 2020) she has developed her research on magical consciousness as a potentially panhuman mode of mind that is expressed in a multitude of forms cross-culturally. Through developing a subjective and affective ethnography of mind with neuroscientist Erik Goodwyn in Magical Consciousness: an anthropological and neurobiological approach (Routledge, 2016), she examined the process of working with magical consciousness. This was expanded in her Developing Magical Consciousness: a theoretical and practical guide for the expansion of perception (Routledge, 2020). As well as lecturing internationally, Susan Greenwood has written numerous articles, the latest being \u003cem\u003e‘\u003c\/em\u003eA Spectrum of Magical Consciousness: conspiracy theories and the stories we tell ourselves’\u003cem\u003e, Anthropology Today 38.1,2022; \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e‘\u003c\/strong\u003eBuilding Bridges of Communication: seeking conversation between Indigenous and Western cultures through magical consciousness’\u003cem\u003e Journal of Consciousness Studies special Indigenous Edition 2023 Vol.30, No.5-6; ‘\u003c\/em\u003eScience and Magic Need Each Other’: making a case for an analogical perspective on magic’ \u003cem\u003eJournal of Magic, Witchcraft and Ritual \u003c\/em\u003e(forthcoming)\u003cem\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 July 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePalgrave Macmillan\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783032067272\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e237\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44421976981644,"sku":"9783032067272","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032067272.jpg?v=1781059753","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032067272","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
