About this book
Ethnographic Insights and Rare Photographs from the Early 20th Century.
This remarkable volume brings together rare archival photographs from the Ethnological Museum of St. Petersburg and a deeply researched ethnographic narrative that illuminates the spiritual worlds of Siberian and Korean shamans. Captured in the early 1900s, these images bear witness to a time when ritual, myth, and everyday life were inseparable.
Through detailed commentary and vivid illustration, the book explores shamanic cosmologies, ceremonial practices, healing rites, and the social roles of shamans within their communities. From the trance dances of Korean mudang to the animistic traditions of Siberian kam, each page reveals the profound connection between humans and the spirit realm.
More than a visual archive, this is a cultural testimony—an invitation to understand indigenous knowledge systems before they were disrupted by modernity. A treasure for scholars, seekers, and anyone drawn to the mysteries of ancestral wisdom.
