No need for pejorative speech and yes we have shamans. We call them bakshi. One of these bakshi found our stolen cows

 

[Targon]

No, not pejorative, I was not talking about Shamans, but like our charmers/fortune tellers.

Hani var ya gidiyosun bağlama büyüsüyü yapıyor bu adamı sana aşık edicem diyor, şunun evine uğursuzluk salıcam falan diyor

You mean like haci hoca, muskaci?

 

[Targon]

Yeah, but Büyücü is a more covering term

What does Bakshi means ? something like Bakıcı(in meaning of Seer) ?

We have them they write muska, tell future by looking into stones and sheep scapula (kurek kemigi)

Bakshi is a mongol word for shaman. while word shaman itself is a tungus (evenki) word. Turkic word for it is kam.

Don’t think change of name will make a lot of difference. Turkey also renamed their country as ‘Turkiye’ a few years back but everyone still calls it Turkey.

Our county's name was Türkiye till the beginning.

@telkon Do you think they may have some Shamanic root ?

@Sinan

It has been written as Turkey in English, they tried to change it to Turkiye, but nobody cared, even we still use Turkey when speaking English

Despite the fact the land is old, country is quite young. Just like the Baltic States Lithuania, Estonia & Latvia, Kazakhstan is quite well known in the oil circles. There are many European countries such Slovenia & Moldova that are even less well-known. Give it time and Kazakhstan will be quite famous.

When did they do that?

I didn't know about that attempt.

Suriye = Syria

Turkiye = Turkia but they call Turkey why.... ? Because we kicked some Brit ***.

No

Of course. Stone divination and scapulomancy are directly related to shamanism.

No

Yes.
