Tuvan Shamans

While traditional shamanism continues to decline around the world, it is currently undergoing a revival in Tuva (southern Siberia). Tuva is regarded as the birthplace of shamanism. It is one of the few places in the world where the shamanic heritage has remained unbroken. Through the millennia, shamans have been very important in the area of the modern-day Republic of Tuva. Tuva is a unique place where no-one questions if spirits actually exist. They exist; the question is how to communicate with them.

In everyday life the Tuvan shaman is not distinguishable from other people, but when he is engaged in communicating with spirits he has to make use of a special dress and special instruments. Of these the most important and the one in most general use is the shaman’s drum. It may be said that all over Tuva, where there is a shaman there is also a drum. The drum has the power of transporting the shaman to the spirit world and of evoking spirits by its sounds. Among the Tuvans, all their philosophy of life is represented symbolically in the drum. Photographer Vera Salnitskaya has published a photographic essay exploring the shamanic resurgence.

Shamanic drumming is considered one of the oldest methods for healing and accessing inner wisdom. The Shamanic Drumming Blog is an online journal devoted to news, events and commentary related to shamanic healing, music and arts. http://shamanicdrumming.blogspot.com/
