Meeting shamans

Feathers, fells, long clothes, the smoke of bonfire, the sound of tambourine create a special atmosphere. You are becoming closer to nature and to forefathers. Everything seems different, air is full of strange feeling and emotions, sense of those times when world was young. Shamans are whirling around of ritual fireplace; they are people who lived here from the beginning of times, people who talk with heavens and can feel earth.

Shamanism is traditional religion of Buryat and Evenk; its name is connected with word “shaman” that means a mediator between the real world and the worlds of spirits. Adherents of this religion believe that there are a lot of gods and ghosts. And with  help of shamans can attract happiness, prosperity, health, and luck.

Shamans used to be respectful in society; they could interfere to economic, managing, judicial, relationship inside family, and other issues. At the same time they were a foreteller, Aesculapian, keeper of ceremonies and traditions, master of generation history, artist, hypnotist, tutor, poet, singer, and storyteller.

Baikal shamanism is a real history, culture, and religion. Baikal shamans are not actors but people which believe and which are trusted. They did always choose the most beautiful and mysterious places of the Lake such as sharp cliffs, deep capes, magnificent arches, grottos, and caves, Buryat horse standing in “sarge” heaths. All these places have strong energy and will fill you with positive feelings of Baikal power for several weeks.
