Mongolian Shamanism

Mongolian shamanism is an ancient spiritual tradition centered on direct communication with spirits of nature, ancestors, and the cosmos. Shamans act as mediators, using rituals, music, and dance to invoke spiritual guidance, healings, and protection. It emphasizes harmony with the natural world, recognizing mountains, rivers, animals, and celestial bodies as sacred and alive with spiritual significance. Rooted in nomadic culture, it remains an important part of Mongolia’s cultural identity, blending reverence for nature with ancestral rites, and shaping social and spiritual life through practices that honor unseen forces influencing health and fortune.
