Western New Age practices appropriating indigenous practices is not a new problem but last month a deadly insurrection at the Capitol Building brought light to a man impersonating a shamanic practitioner in a way that is not just harmful but also dangerous. We talk about how this fantasy is harmful with Sagaasha, David Shi, whose book is linked in our show notes as well as his contact for further questions below. David is a spiritual worker and folk magic practitioner of Manchurian descent. Raised in a household that incorporated both Southeast Siberian and North Chinese practices, He has dedicated his spare time to the study of the spiritual traditions of his ancestors and of greater Eurasia. David’s practices are deeply rooted in spirit work in which ancestral and land spirits are called to empower all workings. He is the author of the book “North Asian Magic: Spellcraft from Manchuria, Mongolia, and Siberia,” conducted workshops across the country, and he has been a featured guest on several podcasts. You can ask David questions yourself or purchase his book through the links below.
