"...lt's very easy to
treat people when their soul is open and full of kindness,
because in that case you see a miracle taking place...their own
kindness returns to them as if reflected in a mirror."
Nadia Stepanova
is a Buryatian shaman who is reviving shamanic ritual ceremonies
that for centuries have ruled the life in the taiga. The
Republic of
Buryatia
is a large country that lies between Lake Baikal and Mongolia in
Siberia, often said to be the cradle of shamanism, which
appeared at the dawn of civilization and survived down through
the ages, until Stalin's antireligious campaign in the 1930's.
During all these years
there was an attempt to separate the individual from his
spirituality and as a result many people forgot their soul,
their ancestors and their Gods.
Nadia Stepanova hopes
that the young people will again be aware of spirituality and
of the gifts that Mother Nature bestows us.
