Shamanism in Siberia

More about the book

This is M.A. Czaplicka's review of the literature about Shamanism in Siberia, excerpted from a longer ethnographic work. Siberian Shamanism is important topic because the practice continued there up until historic times, and so there are reliable modern accounts. The details of the shamanistic journey appear to be largely consistent throughout this culture region. This extended description contains important source material on Shamanism. Author: Maria Antonina Czaplicka (October 25, 1884 – May 27, 1921), also referred to as Marya Antonina Czaplicka and Marie Antoinette Czaplicka, was a Polish cultural anthropologist who is best known for her ethnography of Siberian shamanism.
