For starters, thank you for doing this AMA! I'm currently enrolled in a Magic Religions & Rituals course and we're coincidentally going over Shamans right now in class. We watched a video yesterday of the Yanomami people and their Magical Death practices. Naturally, it kind of blew my mind. I can only (barely) imagine all that they experience in trance but it was extremely interesting to observe. Would you mind possibly describing a traditional ceremony of the Mongolian Shamans?

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing and giving such great detail. I will definitely check out your lecture and am thinking I will share it with my professor as well :) I really admire your work. It's the people like you who are determined to understand other culture's perspectives and to relay that back to those of us who aren't in the position to do so, that impact my view of life completely and help expand my open mind. I'm always so hungry for new perspectives and your journey is very enlightening. Right on! I sincerely thank you for sharing your experience :)
