Named
after the 32 souls that are thought to correspond to each human organ, this
vintage Shaman book comes from the Northwest highlands of Vietnam. As the
healers and knowledge-keepers of the community, Shamans have captured and
passed on their wisdom through hand-copied books through the generations. These
books are used for everything from marriage ceremonies to healing the sick,
banishing evil spirits, predicting the future and even teaching the
fundamentals of Feng Shui. The fine calligraphy and aged patina of these pages
look striking framed behind glass.
