Abstract

Shamanism of the Sayan-Altay represents a form of religious beliefs characterized by a special ecstatic communication of the shaman with the supernatural world. The shamanism therewith plays an integrating role in traditional culture. The soul-concept is an important constituent of the entire complex of shamanism because it is the soul that is the central subject to which the entire shamanizing act is aimed at.
