Here's some more resources on shamanism and folklore:
- "A World of Healing: The Mesa in Peruvian Shamanism" - Rachel Mann's article on Shaman's Portal.
- "Tuvan Shamanic Folklore" - Mongush B. Kenin-Lopsan. Excerpt from the book "Shamanic Worlds."
- "China's Dagur Minority: Society, Shamanism and Folklore" - Kevin Stuart, LI Wuewei and Shelear.
- "Shamanic Remnants in Hungarian Folklore" - I know it's a Wikipedia article, use your judgement.
