Overview
Shamanism tour in Nepal explores the Shamanism practice. In ancient time, there was no availability of allopathic medicine and modern health services to cure different types of diseases. People believed in supernatural forces, leading to cause different types of sickness. The trees, rocks, rivers, mountains, hills, moon, sun, stars, passes, deurali (sources of water) were also believed to have been carrying spiritual power that could hamper people or could make them sick. The Shamanism practice was established due to the lack of medicine and health services.
Shamanism is a kind of healing. During the healing, the Shaman carries himself the sprite of causing sickness and explains the reasons behind the sickness. Shamanism is somehow associated with the witchcraft practice that still exists in Nepali society. The Shaman while healing finds out the demands of the God or witchcraft for what the sickness was caused. The family of sick people offer things to the God or witchcraft as asked by the Shaman. Normally, chicken, goat, sheep and some amount of money and alcohol are offered. In many cases, sick people are found to have been feeling better after the Shaman finishes healing.
The Shaman wears a special uniform decorated with different types of colorful long feather of birds and plays a special leather drum and other musical instruments and sings a religious melody. For foreigners, the conduct of Shamanism is really interesting and amazing.
