Shamanism, Ancient Form of Human Religion and its Intercultural Features
 PLETKOVÁ, Petra
I characterize the shaman{\crq}s figure and influence on the society in my work. Further I deal with shamanism, its development and mutual comparison of sha-manism in individual cultures. I characterize individual types of shamanic cultures and their geographical placement. Further I describe the way of performance of shamanic techniques and their goals. I also pay attention to a possible power role of the shaman. I also describe the basic shamanic cosmology. I go on comparing individual cultures and seeking differences. Then I perform general evaluation of all cultures and subsequently I consider the task and influence of shamanism in contemporary society.
