A Shape-shifter

The state of shape-shifting to shamans is very much like a dance.

The Shaman is not completely lost in consciousness

She/he is still aware of what is happening, however maintaining an art  of allowing.

Allowing their spirits to merge.

Allowing the spirit teacher to take over and lead the actions.

This is an image of an Amur Tiger Shaman.

In Ulchi culture, Tiger is seen as a powerful being of the forest.

People would call tigers “the powerful ones”.
