On this day, you will get to know more about shamanism. We visit the shaman museum and meet a shaman to get acquainted with the ritual of communicating with the spirits of ancestors. Shamanism is a form of worship that has been carried in the mentality of Mongolians since ancient times and was intricately tied to all aspects of social life and the tribal organization of Mongolian society. Shamanism is one of the oldest forms of religion and shamanic practices may originate as early as the Paleolithic, and certainly as early as the Neolithic period from the primitive society tribes before they transitioned to a class society in the 3rd century BC. In other words, it is a primitive form of worship, a belief in the spirits of ancestors, the owners of heaven and earth. The kings of the Mongolian first state Hunnu to Xianbei, Rouran, Turk, Uyghur, and Kitan worshipped shamanism. Later in the 13th century, during the Great Mongol Empire of Chingghis Khan, shamanism had a strong place in state policy. From ordinary households to royal palaces, shaman idols were placed in the most respected places.
