Spirit Voices: The Mysteries and Magic of North Asian Shamanism by David Shi

Hear the Voices of the Spirits

Long before shamanism became a Western buzzword, it was born in the vast landscapes of North Asia — among the Turkic, Mongolic, and Tungus peoples whose traditions have shaped the spiritual world for millennia. In Spirit Voices, David Shi draws upon his own ancestral heritage to guide readers through these largely hidden and unfamiliar traditions with clarity, depth, and deep respect.

Part history, part mythology, part practical guide, this is one of the most comprehensive and accessible explorations of true North Asian shamanism available in English today.
