About this document
Understanding Shamanism and Its Practices by Tshewang Dendup is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Shamanism is a practice where a shaman interacts with spirits to heal individuals or communities. Shamans are believed to be able to cause or cure illness through supernatural powers. Shamanism is one of the oldest forms of religion where shamans mediate between realms like humans and spirits. Shamans acquire their skills through inheritance, apprenticeships, or receiving them from non-human entities. They establish contact with spirits of nature and ancestors to gather knowledge to help those in need.
