Shamanism, an ancient spiritual practice deeply rooted in indigenous cultures across the globe, has captivated humanity for centuries. From the Mandan Indians of North America to the Native American shamans depicted by Myers and Co in 1841, these mystical figures have held a profound significance within their communities. One captivating image showcases a Medicine Man adorned in a bear skin, symbolizing his connection with nature's power and wisdom. This portrayal from c1875 offers us a glimpse into the sacred rituals performed by these revered healers. Traveling eastward to Lake Baikal, we encounter a mesmerizing sight - a sacred shamanic tree standing tall against the backdrop of this majestic Siberian lake. Its presence evokes reverence and awe as it serves as a conduit between earthly realms and higher spirits. In Mongolia's Hovsgol province lies another testament to shamanistic beliefs - an Ovoo made of wood on the shores of Hovsgol Lake. This structure represents offerings made to ancestral spirits, seeking guidance and protection for those who dwell nearby. The Chukchi Shaman Consulting the Oracle transports us back to 1811 when colored engravings brought distant cultures closer than ever before. The image captures both curiosity and respect as this wise figure seeks divine insight through ancient divination practices. Jules Ferrario's Le Costume Ancien et Moderne provides further glimpses into shamanism's rich tapestry. We witness powerful female magicians or shamans among Mongolian people in the 18th century; their intricate dances intertwine with spiritual energy that transcends time itself. The Buyrats people also had their own female shaman during this era – her engraved depiction invites contemplation on gender roles within spiritual leadership while highlighting diversity across different tribes' traditions. Venturing beyond North America and Asia, we encounter religious men or shamans from Algonquin town Secota captured in an engraving dating back to 1859-1860.
