what is shamanism?
Shamanism is the ancient spiritual beliefs of the Mongolian and Turkic peoples that live in Central Asia, Siberia, and as far west as parts of Eastern Europe. Shamanism is often called Tengerism in Siberia and Mongolia since it means the honoring of spirits. Since most of the authors of this web site are Mongolian, this is the perspective given the most. This is by no means a slight on our Turkic cousins who are also children of the Blue Wolf.
