Neftaly Explores Myths in Mongolian Shamanic Traditions
Step into the mystical heart of Central Asia as Neftaly journeys through the sacred landscapes of Mongolia to uncover the myths, symbols, and spirits that shape its ancient shamanic traditions.
For centuries, Mongolian shamans — known as böö — have acted as healers, guides, and spiritual intermediaries, calling upon ancestral spirits and nature deities through elaborate rituals, drumming, and trance. But beyond the rituals lie rich mythologies that weave together stories of creation, cosmic balance, and the unseen worlds above and below.
In this exploration, Neftaly sheds light on:
- The legend of the World Tree, connecting heaven, earth, and the underworld
- The Three Realms: Tenger (sky spirits), Earth (humans), and Gal (underworld spirits)
- The mythical origins of shamans, said to be chosen by spirits through dreams and visions
- The role of animal spirits, like the wolf, eagle, and deer, as guides and protectors
- How ancient myths continue to influence modern Mongolian identity and spiritual revival
Through interviews, field research, and cultural immersion, Neftaly invites you to reimagine the boundaries between the physical and spiritual. Whether you’re a seeker, scholar, or simply curious, this deep dive into Mongolia’s shamanic myths offers profound insight into humanity’s oldest ways of knowing the world.
