North Asian Magic: Spellcraft from Manchuria, Mongolia, and Siberia by David Borji Shi

David Borji Shi introduces magical traditions of Manchuria, Mongolia and Siberia, including animist, shamanic and Buddhist influences. North Asian Magic moves from cultural background to tools and concepts, divination methods and spells associated with protection, blessing and other everyday concerns.

The author draws on his Manchurian heritage and practice to present culturally specific material rather than a universal model of shamanism. This is a printed study and practice text; spiritual claims about healing, luck or protection are not evidence of guaranteed outcomes or medical effectiveness.
