From favorable weather and a good harvest, to healing and marriages – in ancient times, shamans were in charge of almost all aspects of life. In Siberia they are still part of everyday life. But beware of fakes.
Some people went so far as to claim these shamans ought to be somehow integrated into the state health care system. The methods they use are however often out of the common sense, but in some cases it seems they have shown certain results. I am of opinion that the shamanian practice should be studied more rigorously.
