Vladimir Fiodorov, a famous poet, prose writer and playwright, who seriously and thoroughly studied the theme of shamanism on scientific sources, legends and tales, stories of eye-witnesses and personal observations, narrates about this pagan belief as a writer – fascinatingly and amusingly, but at the same time deeply skillfully. Starting his book with the world review of shamanism and its primitive history, the author then concentrates his attention on beliefs and rituals of the peoples of Yakutia and their northern neighbors. Most facts given in the book, as well as conversations with shamans and their descendants are unique and published for the first time. Separate chapters are devoted to the mysterious Afro-Caribbean cult of voodoo.
