Shaman Snapshot: Russia

I just stumbled on this photo of a shaman in, I believe, the region of Siberia. Now that is some serious shaman drag! The photo was attached to a story about how someone in Russia (back in 2009) was looking to elect a "supreme shaman" by vote in order to help unify various groups and fight against repression. Interesting. Of course, many folks--and shamans--weren't too happy about it.

This story has a little more on the reasoning behind the vote idea and what Russian shamans face in their daily lives. I did look but couldn't find a story on the actual outcome of the vote.

And below is a photo of Russian shaman Filipp Ardeyev.

Wow, I love that costume!! I'd love to wear something like. I'm sure the minute you put it all on that it would transform your energy.

Thanks, Tery.

And yes, Handsome. I find clothes really do make a difference in our energy, regardless of whether we're working in a restaurant or as a shaman! I always advocate looking our best, depending on the situation. Of course, I love theatrics, too, but hey....

The shots are great, it sure is a shaman over the cold lands of Russia.
