An interesting request arrived from Ulan Bator, Mongolia. A couple is planning to visit Yakutsk and asked me about available opportunities to meet local shamans in the city. That was an unexpected question. I don’t have friends among shamans to ask them about meetings. But, Praise God, my mom has a few contacts :)

Eventually they [...]
