About the author
Sarangerel was a Mongolian shamaness and the author of Chosen by the Spirits: Following Your Shamanic Calling (Destiny Books, 2001) and Riding Windhorses: A Journey Into the Heart of Mongolian Shamanism (Destiny Books, 2000), the latter described as the first book on Mongolian and Siberian shamanism written by a practitioner trained in that tradition. Riding Windhorses introduces the beliefs and practices of Mongolian and Siberian shamanism, a tradition banned under Soviet rule until its collapse, including rituals for healing. Chosen by the Spirits is written as a hands-on guide for people who feel called to the shamanic path, covering traditional Siberian rituals, meditations, and divination techniques. Both books sit in the occult-philosophy category and are addressed to readers seriously pursuing shamanic practice rather than casual readers, drawing directly on Mongolian and Siberian tradition rather than a generalized or composite shamanism.
