Mongolia and Buryatia (Siberia) are sparsely populated, with wild and pristine nature—wolves howl at night, and vultures and eagles circle in the sky. Nomadic herders still traverse the grass steppes, living in yurts and practicing an ancient form of shamanism. To the north, the endless forests of the taiga begin, home to the Buryat and Evenki peoples. Accompanied by a small group of healers, the author set out to visit this remote region to learn about and explore the healing plants and shamanic practices up close. In this richly illustrated book, he provides an in-depth look at the animal and plant life, delves into the healing practices of the indigenous peoples, and highlights the cultural continuity with North American Indians and our ancestors, the European forest peoples. He shares the exciting stories.
