Very dubious reference[edit]

The very title of the single reference given, Chosen by the Spirits : Following Your Shamanic Calling, is a clue that its contents - and hence this article's - may be utter nonsense.

I suggest that unless a more scholarly source can be found for the statements in it, this article be deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Floozybackloves (talk • contribs) 01:30, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Researching more on the subject, the author seems to be cited by others on the topic of Central Asian Shamanism. Take for example the Master of Arts thesis "Reusing Ancient Symbols of Power in Modern Energy Medicine Practices" by Walter John Cooke. I am going to cite from them again to add a source for the second paragraph. Eschocat (talk) 14:59, 19 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
