http://www.sacredhoop.demon.co.uk/HOOP-07/BON.html

Extractions: BON TRADITION OF TIBET Shamanism, an ancient Tradition found in cultures throughout the world, values a balanced relationship between humanity and Nature. Because of the recent alarming increase in pollution and exploitation of the environment, along with the consequential negative ramifications, such as the emergence of new illnesses, it has become even more important for humankind to recover the principle of harmony central to Shamanism in order to repair the damage done to the Earth, as well as to save people and Nature from negativity and illness. This egg was hatched by the force of its own energy and steam issued into the sky, giving rise to the negative energy of space. Thunder, hail and planetary disturbances came into existence. The albumen spilled onto the Earth and polluted it, giving rise to naga-derived illnesses such as physical handicaps, leprosy and skin diseases. The shell gave rise to harmful weapons and infectious diseases, and the disturbances and illnesses of humans and animals came forth from the membrane. From the yolk essence there came forth Chidag Nagpo (Black Life-Stealing Fiend) with bulging wrathful eyes, gnashing teeth, and matted hair with blood rising into the sky like a cloud, holding the black cross (of evil power) in his right hand and the disease-dispensing lasso in his left.

Extractions: Summary of Chapters I-II by S. Leggatt, 7.16.97 I. General Considerations. Recruiting Methods. Shamanism and Mystical Vocation. Approaches Eliade begins by defining his terms. Shaman will not be used to refer simply to any medicine man, fakir, or magician, but only to members of that subset of those more general classes which share a sufficient number of characteristics with the paradigmatic case of shamanism, the Siberian/Central Asian. Briefly, shamans of this type cure, they escort the souls of the dead, they fly, they control fire, but by far the most important, they employ techniques of ecstasy; that is to say, they leave their bodies. Each of these elements will be elaborated upon later. Eliade notes that shamanism most frequently coexists with other magico-religious belief systems, rather than assimilating or being assimilated by them. It is in part for this reason that a strict definition of shamanism is useful, in order to differentiate between groups that might otherwise mistakenly be categorized together. Interestingly, we will find that belief systems all over the world share a large number of the elements of shamanism with the paradigmatic case, despite having no geographical or cultural point of contact with Siberia or Central Asia. In fact, although "shamanism dominates the religious life of Central and North Asia, it is nevertheless not

Golomt means "place of the fire," it is the place where Father Heaven and Mother Earth meet and is the symbolic center of the world in Buryat-Mongolian shamanism. The tradition of Buryat-Mongolian shamanism is at least 5000 years old, probably much older, and Buryat culture represents one of the oldest cultural traditions on earth. The wisdom of Siberian shamanism is applicable in the modern world today. Its basic principles are reverence for the earth and sky, keeping the world and one's personal life in balance, and personal responsibility.

These include the famous generals of history, who will drive away disease, one general so fierce he walks on sharpened knives, a performance the shaman duplicates without being cut!

Extractions: FORWARD MONGOLIAN COSMOLOGY The Four Directions (Durvun Zug) The Ger and the Sacred Circle ... OVERVIEW OF THE MODEL OF MONGOLIAN SHAMANISM Foreword This is a brief introduction to the shamanic world of Siberia, especially from the perspective of the Mongols. In spite of the linguistic differences there are overarching themes and images which appear among all forms of shamanism in Siberia. Indeed, the classic studies of shamanism have given special attention to the shamanism of Altaic peoples such as the Buryat, Mongols, and Tungus, creating an image of a "classic" Siberian shamanism. Some of you may find that certain of the features of Mongolian shamanism which I describe may not completely be true in all its points for all Mongolian or Siberian groups. This is the result of the great geographic area which they occupy and differences in environment and tribal history which allowed for some variation from the observances or beliefs of their kindred. Many of you have some acquaintance with the beliefs of Native Americans, and how their relationship with the world shaped their beliefs and behavior. This is also true of Mongols and Siberian peoples in general. Reverence for mother earth and father heaven above as well as for all the spirits of animals and nature create a way of life which expresses respect for natural forces and abstains from harm to them whenever possible. Mongols believe that the goal of life is to live tegsh , in balance with the world. One stands alone and in power at the center of the world, with infinite blue Father Heaven above and Mother Earth supporting and nurturing below. By living an upright and respectful life, a human being (

Extractions: VQ News The Workshop Next workshop in summer 2002. Make plans to come for the journey! Becoming a shaman one treads a path of experiential learning. Creativity, Healing, and Shamanism is a 4 day workshop that will lead participants to three objectives on the shaman's trail: education, experience, and encounter. Intentionally primitive, attendees will camp on the earth, gather around the fire, and learn beneath the open sky. This workshop will teach and contrast the Shaman's art of entering sacred space within the framework of traditional shamanism, chaos theory and emerging views in science, and Spiritual traditions from around the world. This workshop does not advance a specific religious perspective but rather explores the common threads woven through many creeds. Attendees will learn by doing as they make their own drums, form a creative community, and engage the power of solitary contemplation and fasting. As a participant in this workshop, you will follow the stages of the creative process to explore a new paradigm for an ancient art, to experience a connection to your faith, nature's spirits, and to evoke the creativity and healing of your inner shaman.

Extractions: Shamanism in Siberia [Excerpts from] ABORIGINAL SIBERIA A STUDY IN SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY BY M. A. CZAPLICKA SOMERVILLE COLLEGE, OXFORD WITH A PREFACE BY R. R. MARETT READER IN SOCIAL ANTHROPOLOGY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD PRESIDENT OF THE FOLK-LORE SOCIETY OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON PRESS PART III. RELIGION CHAPTER VII SHAMANISM [1] SHAMANISM is understood by some people to be a primitive form of religion or religio-magic practised by the aborigines of northern Asia as well as by all other aborigines in other parts of the world. This opinion is held by Mikhailowski, Kharuzin, and some other Russian scientists. Others hold that Shamanism was only one form of expression of the religious cult of northern Asia, practised in order to avert the evil spirits. This opinion is found in the writings of Jochelson and Bogoras. There is still another view put forward, which it is well for us to consider. This view we find expressed very clearly in the following extract from Klementz: 'One must not lose sight of the fact that in the various beliefs of the Siberian tribes a very close connexion is noticeable, and, likewise, there can be observed an uninterrupted identity in the foundations of their mythology, and in their rites, even extending as far as the nomenclature-all of which gives one the right to suppose that these beliefs are the result of the joint work of the intellectual activity of the whole north of Asia.'[2] In the writings of the Buryat scientist Banzaroff we find a very similar statement: 'The old national religion of the Mongols and the neighbouring nations is known in Europe as "Shamanism", whereas among those who are not its followers it has no special name.
