Instruction manual

Modern shamans do not travel to cities and do not give press conferences. Their way of life has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. Therefore, if you need to meet with a shaman, plan a trip to Siberia, Mexico, South America or Africa. You can combine this meeting with a vacation and arrange an interesting adventure for yourself.

Upon arrival, it is best for you to make a favorable impression on the locals. It is advisable to know a few words in their language to explain to them what you are looking for in their places. Do not hope that the inhabitants of a remote village will speak international English. It is also worthwhile to ask in advance about the cultural features of people living in the area where you are on your way. For example, if Mexicans do not like Americans, at the beginning of your acquaintance it is worth saying that you are Russian, since all whites are automatically considered Americans.

Some excursion programs include meetings with shamans. Such an action takes the form of a theatrical performance rather than a meeting with the innermost. However, if you just wanted to look at exotic shamans, go to such a meeting. For example, you can see the communication of a shaman with spirits near the city of Kyzyl, which is located on the Yenisei.

If you want to have a conversation with the shaman, find yourself a guide from the local and go in search of him. Do not forget to thank the person who will guide you to the shaman's home. Offer him to take money, and if he refuses - water, hunting matches and other things that a person living far from civilization may need.

It is not necessary that the shaman agree to meet with you. Usually they choose people according to criteria that are only known to them. If you meet a shaman, behave with dignity and respect the religion that he professes. If you happen to be present at any magic ritual, observe all requirements. By showing your respectful attitude to the shaman and his people, you will receive attention to your person.
