Publisher Description

A guide to authentic North Asian Shamanism, past and present

The word shamanism is frequently bandied about but rarely used accurately. Shamanologist Nicholas Breeze Wood coined the following definition: "A shaman is someone chose by the spirits [typically at/before birth] and who can go into a controlled and repeatable deliberate trance state, during which they: A) experience 'spirit flight,' where they go to meet the spirit worlds and meet spirits, who they either fight with, negotiate with, or trick, in order to create change in this physical world, or B) are often taken over/possessed by the spirits (normally ancestral shaman spirits, or local land spirits) while in this physical world—the spirits using the shaman's voice and body to heal, or give advice to members of the shaman's community. Without the spirits, and their blessing, a shaman can not exist or function. Without the trance state, it is not shamanism."

Author David Shi, for whom these are family traditions, explores the history and practice of shamanism. What is it? Where is it from? How does one become a shaman? Shi guides listeners through unfamiliar territory—the landscape of North Asia—and through what are largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions. Spirit Voices takes and in-depth look at three main cultural shamanic traditions: Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus.

About David Shi

David Shi is a spiritual worker and folk-magic practitioner who engages in traditional North Asian forms of shamanism. He is primarily of Manchurian descent but can also trace ancestry to Mongolian, Chinese, and Korean, as well as trace amounts of Tungus Siberian, and ancient Central Asian Turkic heritage. Recognized as a shaman-to-be with ancestral shamanic spirits by both Mongolian and Korean shamans, he bases his deeply rooted practices in spirit work in which ancestral and land spirits are called to empower all workings. He has appeared at several conferences, festivals, and podcasts around the country and is always aiming to introduce Westerners to Eastern spiritualities and helping fellow Asian-Americans connect to their spiritual roots.
