Description
Shamanism in Siberia by M. Czaplicka explores the spiritual practices of the indigenous peoples of northern Asia. The book examines the various interpretations of shamanism, with some viewing it as a primitive form of religion or religio-magic, while others see it as a distinct expression of the religious cult of northern Asia. A closer look at the mythology, rites, and nomenclature of the Siberian tribes reveals a common thread, suggesting that their beliefs may have originated from a shared intellectual activity across northern Asia.
