Found some interesting sites regarding Siberian Shamanism which I thought I would share

The first is a discourse titled Hereditary Transmission In Siberian Shamanism And The Concept Of The Reality Of Legends
Following on from this are a couple of pages with photographs and information Nganasan shamans and the pictures Disappearing Nganasan Shamanism

A very interesting collection of sites with lots of reading material, including some regarding initiatory Visions some sound clips of their shamanic songs (scroll to the bottom of this page) and some incantation samples

I'm unable to open the links due to a very crappy connection at the mo. However,
I'm really looking forward to reading these and so thanks in advance for posting the links

Excellent links, Herne.

Thanks for posting

Thanks for those links, Herne.

One of the classics on this topic is Mircea Eliade's Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy.
