Reminder that shamanism is an indigenous Tungusic spiritual practice and therefore if they are not part of that practice they are not a "shaman". Shaman as become an appropriated term for anyone who does trances or magic, completely glossing over that cultures have THEIR OWN TERMS when referring to their spiritual leaders.

Yakut (Sakha) shaman woman in ceremonial dress, 1902.

The described shamanic coat served as a trans-former—it turned the shaman into a warrior and provided him with an armor tohelp fight with “hostile shamans and spirits”. “The fringe around the coatrepresents feathers”, described Jochelson, explaining how the coat turned the shamaninto a bird able to fly between many levels of the sky. All details on the sha-man’s coat are given names in the Yakut language, with an occasional variant in theTungus, and were dictated by the local people and shamans themselves. The shamanicchants were recorded by Jochelson on his phonograph. From Jochelson’sdescriptions it is very easy to get a sense the shaman was a very dynamic and mobilefigure, who moved and paced all the time on the spot. He also moved in the alterna-tive universe (“the world of spirits”) with the help of his drum that appeared to beeither a reindeer or a horse, and the drumstick was his whip. In the relatedtwo sections on pottery and metals (blacksmithery and silversmithery) Jochelsonanalyzed the significant role the smiths played in the Yakut society and commentedon the social status of the Yakut blacksmiths, who were ranked as high as a shamanas they were believed to possess supernatural powers. Jochelson makes parallels withthe blacksmith practices in Africa and Pamir, making wider connections to explainthe phenomena.

💫 The Spirit Journey 💫

Visualisation:

Journey to the Realm of Spirit

This journey to the realm of Spirit will be a deeply introspective and connective experience, a path toward unity with the essence of life itself. Through this journey, you’ll encounter the Spirit’s wisdom and discover a deeper sense of purpose, interconnectedness, and harmony.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Centering and Preparing for Connection

Begin by finding a comfortable position and gently closing your eyes. Take a few deep, calming breaths, allowing yourself to sink into a state of peace and presence. Imagine a soft, radiant light surrounding you, warm and comforting. With each inhale, draw this light into your heart, filling yourself with a sense of calm. With each exhale, release anything that does not serve, creating space within for something higher and deeper.

Opening the Gateway of Spirit

As you breathe, a feeling of lightness begins to envelop you. A soft, golden glow appears before you, illuminating a pathway leading upward. The light shimmers and pulses with a gentle energy, as if inviting you to follow. Step onto this path, feeling yourself rise effortlessly, guided by the glow. This path is ethereal, leading you beyond time and space, higher and higher into the vast, infinite realm of Spirit.

Entering the Realm of Spirit

Soon, you find yourself surrounded by an endless, radiant light. There is no up or down, no boundaries—just a vast expanse of pure energy. Colors dance around you, shifting through shades of violet, silver, and gold, and you feel a profound sense of peace and connection. The air is filled with a gentle hum, a frequency that resonates with the core of your being, making you feel truly whole. You are part of this boundless realm, a thread in the vast web of creation.

Finding the Heart of the Spirit Realm

Drifting deeper into this radiant space, you feel drawn toward a powerful energy, a point of light that seems to hold the very essence of Spirit. As you approach, the light shifts and coalesces into a luminous figure. This is the Spirit itself—a presence of pure love and wisdom, shimmering with an aura of peace and compassion. Its form is fluid and light-filled, embodying the essence of all life, all creation.

Meeting the Spirit of All

The Spirit’s gaze meets yours, gentle yet infinitely wise, filled with an understanding beyond words. It does not need to speak aloud; its message arrives directly in your heart, a deep and profound knowing. You feel a warmth, a sense of being completely seen, completely known. The Spirit’s energy feels like a loving embrace, connecting you to all that is.

The Wisdom of Spirit

The Spirit’s message flows into you, a voice that resonates from deep within. “I am the essence of all things, the unity that binds life, creation, and purpose. To connect with Spirit is to connect with the essence of your own soul, to recognize that you are both unique and deeply connected to all that is. You are a part of the greater whole, woven into the fabric of existence.”

Its words flow through you like a river of truth. “Spirit is the force of love, the light that guides, the connection that brings understanding. Just as light touches all it meets, so too does Spirit connect all things. Seek within for peace, for purpose, for clarity, for all answers are within you, as you are within the whole. Honor the journey of your soul, for it is sacred and unique, yet part of the grander path.”

The Spirit’s energy grows warmer, filling you with a sense of purpose and oneness. “Remember, Spirit is always with you. When you seek, simply look within, for Spirit is the spark that lives in your heart, the guide that leads you forward, the love that binds us all. Trust this connection, for it is your truth.”

Receiving a Gift of Spirit

The Spirit extends its hands, offering you a small, glowing crystal—a point of light that pulses with life itself. You take the crystal, feeling its warmth, its boundless energy, and its gentle wisdom. “This crystal holds the essence of Spirit’s light,” it says. “May it remind you of your own divine nature, of the love and wisdom that flows through you and connects you with all beings.”

Returning to the Physical World

The Spirit smiles, and with a gentle wave, its light begins to merge back into the infinite expanse. You feel yourself guided softly down the path you came, the light around you growing softer as you return. Slowly, you feel the familiar sensation of your physical body, grounding you back into the present moment.

Grounding and Reflecting

Take a few deep breaths, feeling the warmth of Spirit’s gift within you. Feel yourself fully present, fully grounded. Wiggle your fingers and toes, and let the feeling of oneness with all life remain as you open your eyes.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Hold the Spirit’s crystal close in your heart—a reminder of your own sacred essence, your unique purpose, and the love and unity that connect us all. With Spirit’s wisdom as your guide, know that you carry the light of all creation within you, guiding you, connecting you, and filling you with love.

Shaman of the Tenyi

[a-path-by-the-moon]

The grave of a völva, a female shaman and seer in Norse mythology, was discovered in Köpingsvik, on the Swedish island of Öland. This grave contained several intriguing artifacts that provide insight into the völva’s role and status in Viking society.

One of the most notable items found in the grave is an iron staff that measures 82 centimeters long. This staff is adorned with bronze details and features a unique model of a house on top. The term “völva” translates to “wand carrier” or “carrier of a magic staff” in Old Norse, indicating the significance of this artifact. The staff or wand was an important accessory in the practice of seid, a type of sorcery practiced in Norse society during the Late Scandinavian Iron Age.

In addition to the staff, the grave contained a jug from Central Asia and a bronze cauldron from Western Europe. These items suggest that the völva had connections to far-reaching places and was likely a part of the upper strata of society.

The völva was dressed in bear fur and was buried within a ship setting, or stone ship, which also contained sacrificed animals and humans. This type of burial is indicative of the völva’s high status and the reverence with which she was regarded.

These findings are on display in the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm. - Source: Pagan Trader ThePaganTrader.com
