The new episode of "History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman" is dedicated to shamans — people who, for some reason, at some point in their lives feel that spirits are calling them. It is impossible to refuse this call, and a person's life changes completely. The shaman seems to "die" in order to be reborn in a completely different capacity. The episode will discuss how people become shamans, what a shaman should look like, what he can do, and how shamanism influenced later world culture. BOOKS. Mircea Eliade. Shamanism. Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy. Eric Dodds. The Greeks and the Irrational. Carl Gustav Jung. The Collective Unconscious. E.A. Torchinov. Experience of the beyond (transpersonal states and psychotechnics).
