Overview
Introduction to Shamanism
Shamanism is among the oldest and most widespread forms of religion, found across the peoples of the Eurasian steppe and forest. At its heart stands the shaman, a specialist who travels between worlds.
Key Beliefs of Shamanism
The tradition holds that the world is inhabited by spirits — of nature, of the ancestors, of sky and earth — who shape human fortune, and that the shaman can reach and influence them on behalf of the community.
Practices in Shamanism
The shaman enters trance, often through drumming, dance, and chant, to journey among the spirits, healing the sick, divining the future, guiding the souls of the dead, and securing the blessings of the unseen world.
Scriptures in Shamanism
Shamanism is an oral tradition without written scripture, its lore carried in songs, invocations, and the practices passed from shaman to shaman.
Influence and Followers of Shamanism
Shamanic belief underpinned the religious life of many steppe and northern peoples, from the Mongols to the peoples of Siberia, and endured alongside the world religions they later encountered.
Conclusion
In its mediation between the human and spirit worlds, shamanism expresses one of humanity's oldest and most enduring religious visions.
