Shamans of the Northern Peoples of Russia: Iron Bones, Helping Spirits, and Flights Between Worlds
19.99 €
Colourful costume, booming sounds of a drum, unusual dances and chants - the image of shamans is fascinating and frightening. Some consider them madmen, others - sages, others - clever rogues. Who are they really? What secrets do the shamanic traditions of the northern peoples hide?

From this book you will learn how to become a shaman and what is "shamanic illness"; how shamans enter a trance and why the drum is alive; what are shamanic "tricks" and what do the symbols on the drum and vestments mean. You will see the beauty of the legends about shamans, get acquainted with the spirits-helpers and touch the secrets of the shamanic craft. Olga Khristoforova, anthropologist, folklorist, doctor of philological sciences, author of five monographs and 270 scientific articles, including more than 30 works on the mythology of the peoples of the North, will tell you all about it.
