Shamanism

Thursday, June 14 2007 by | Send to a friend

In many societies, shamans have been credited with everything from making the rains fall to mediating between the spirit world and the living. Host Frank Stasio speaks with Silvia Tomaskova, an associate professor of Women’s Studies and Anthropology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and an expert in shamanism, about what a shaman does and their importance in our collective prehistory.
