David shares his insights into North Asian Shamanism and its rich traditions. He talks about his experiences with land spirits in Hong Kong and explores the concept of “shamanic sickness,” where spirits reach out to get your attention. We also dive into the practices of shamanic possession, the giving of offerings, and the vital role of the shaman’s drum. David sheds light on rivalries between ancestral spirits, the legend of the first shaman, and the idea of "wind horse" (or soul power). Plus, we discuss how Buddhism has influenced North Asian Shamanism, creating a unique blend of spiritual practices.
David Shi is a North Asian Shamanic worker and author of “Spirit Voices: The Mysteries and Magic of North Asian Shamanism”.
