N2  - 'In "The Song of Wandering Aengus," William Butler Yeats refers to the "fire in the head" that characterizes the visionary experience.  Tom Cowan has pursued this theme in a lyrical cross-cultural exploration of shamanism and the Celtic imagination that examines the myths and tales of the ancient Celtic poets and storytellers, and outlines techniques used to access the shaman's world.'
