The Shamanistic Island
Shamanism has faded in most locations throughout the world, yet it is still alive and well on one remote island in Siberia. The secluded island of Olkhon still practices the faith in its entirety, most likely due to its isolation from other religions. Olkhon Island is not just the home of Shamanism, but it is also the world’s third-largest lake island. The island is covered in trees and has a reputation for receiving very little rainfall. The island has fewer than 1,500 permanent residents, but it has attracted increasing tourists in recent years due to its natural beauty and intriguing culture.
