Join David and I as we chat about North Asian Shamanism, the most dangerous job in the Spiritual sphere (at least in my opinion) and we clear up some facts about everyones favorite mushrooms. 0:00- Interview with David 08:57-Dish of the Week: Fly Agaric15:22- The basics of North Asian Shamanism36:39: The Nishan ShamanDavid Shi, the author of the recently-released book "Spirit Voices", is a shamanic worker and folk magic practitioner who primarily engages in traditional North Asian forms of shamanism. He is primarily of Manchurian descent, but can also trace ancestry to Mongolian, Chinese, Korean, as well as a little Tungus Siberian and ancient Central Asian Turkic heritage as well. Raised in a household that incorporated both Southeast Siberian and North Chinese practices, David has dedicated his spare time to the study of the spiritual traditions of his ancestors and of greater Eurasia. Recognized as a sagaasha/ongodtengertei, a future shaman prior to initiation, among both Mongolian and Korean shamans, David’s practices are deeply rooted in spirit work in which ancestral spirits and land spirits are called to empower all workings. David’s readings incorporate a combination of Tarot, Bones, Jaw-harp, as well as Mongolian stone divination (known as Kumalak in Turkic Central Asia). @DavidJShi311 on Instagram Spirit Voices Book by David J.
