Mongol shaman wearing a ritual gown and holding a drum with the image of a spirit helper, c. 1909.

 


This guy looks like a shaman should look: ragged, filthy and crazy.

  5. I saw that guy last year when I visited San Francisco. He's actually an illegal immigrant from Connemara, Ireland and that "object" is a bodhran. From his apparence I'd say he's a member of the Celtic sub-tribe known as the Smoked Irish.

  7. I read a report somewhere that Putin has been visiting shamen for help with his health. I can well believe it now.
