About this activity
Mongolian and southern Siberian shamanism were originally developed by Stone Age hunters and Bronze Age herdsmen and later evolved into the psyche of the Mongols today. The steppe dwelling peoples of Eurasia worship Eternal Heaven (Munkh Tenger) above and Mother Earth (Etugan) below as well as the ancestral and natural spirits. The cosmology of Mongolian shamanism and its eight customary rituals are based on the concept that there are many invisible worlds in addition to the visible one. The shaman interacts with many other worlds or universes, and that interaction with spirits is an important part of shamans’ work. Each day, month, and year, shamans constantly perform their work with poetic invocations, musics, dances, and creative arts. A shaman is an intermediary between this world and the spirit world. They act on behalf of the community conducting ceremonial rituals, healing the people, and helping to guide others on the shamanic path. A shaman’s life belongs to the village and it is their responsibility to ensure the well being of the family, the community, and all of creation. In this way the shaman helps to maintain balance and harmony on both a personal and planetary level.

This was a small and fascinating tour to the house of a local shaman, where we were able to not only to have an audience with him, but to eat lunch and talk with him after the ritual. The experience of asking questions to a traditional Mongolian shaman is something that cannot be replicated whether you believe what they say or not and being able to spend time with them afterwards and ask questions was a brilliant experience! Our tour guide Bachi was both translator and mini expert, and made the experience all the better with his own knowledge. I'd recommend booking this in person in Mongolia, and definitely going for it if you're considering it!
