📝 Description: Chosen by the Spirits: Following Your Shamanic Calling (Original)

- Mongolian shamaness Sarangerel provides a hands-on guide for serious students of the shamanic path. - Includes complete directions for traditional Siberian rituals, meditations, and divination techniques never before published. - Shows how to recognize and acknowledge a call from the spirits. - Offers traditional wisdom for nurturing a working relationship with personal spirit helpers to promote healing and balance in a community. The shaman's purpose is to heal and restore balance to his or her community by developing a working relationship with the spirit world. Mongolian shamanic tradition maintains that all true shamans are called by the spirits--but those who are not from shamanic cultures may have difficulty recognizing the call or nurturing the essential shamanic relationship with their helper spirits. Buryat shamaness Sarangerel has written Chosen by the Spirits as a guide for both the beginning shaman and the advanced practitioner. Although raised in the United States, she was drawn to the shamanic tradition, and in 1991 returned to her ancestral homeland in the Tunken region of southern Siberia to study with traditional Buryat shamans. Her first book, Riding Windhorses, provided an introduction to the shamanic world of Siberia. Chosen by the Spirits delves more deeply into the personal relationship between the shamanic student and his or her "spirit family." Sarangerel recounts her own journey into shamanic practice and provides the serious student with practical advice and hands-on techniques for recognizing and acknowledging a shamanic calling, welcoming and embodying the spirits, journeying to the spirit world, and healing both people and places.

Sarangerel’s guide serves as a vital resource for those actively pursuing shamanic paths, particularly those interested in Siberian traditions. It provides clear, actionable advice on discerning one’s calling and engaging with spirit allies through specific rituals and divination techniques. However, readers seeking purely academic anthropology or skeptical deconstruction of magic may find the premise too prescriptive or esoteric for their tastes. The text assumes a willingness to engage in spiritual work rather than mere observation. It is best suited for practitioners ready to apply these teachings practically. Those looking for historical context over experiential guidance might feel the content lacks sufficient scholarly backing, making it less suitable for critical theorists who prefer detached analysis over immersive spiritual instruction.
