The Last of the Shor Shamans, The by Alexander And L Arbachakov
This unified presentation of previously disparate studies of Siberian Shor shamanism will intrigue academicians and folklorists alike - as well, it will inspire serious shamanic practitioners and a wider readership interested in traditional shamanic cultures.
That the few and very elderly Shortsi Shamans were willing to share their beliefs and experiences with the Arbachakov's has enabled us all to peer into this mysterious and mystic world- Frederick Lundahl, retired American Diplomat and specialist on Central Asia and post Soviet Union countries.This book is a most worthy contribution to our knowledge of Siberian shamanism, illuminating the shamanic traditions of the little-known Shor ethnic group.- Eva Jane Neumann Fridman, Ph.D., author of Sacred Geography: Shamanism among the Buddhist Peoples of Russia and co-author of Shamanism: An Encyclopedia of World Beliefs, Practices, and Culture.
