Ecstatic Religion: A Study of Shamanism and Spirit Possession by Ioan Lewis is an anthropological analysis of ecstatic religious experiences, including shamanism, spirit possession, and altered states of consciousness.

Lewis examines the roles of shamans and spirit mediums, arguing that ecstatic religion often serves as a means of social resistance and adaptation.
