NYTT LAND - The City Of Ilmun Han (The Tale of the Nisan Shaman, pt.9/13)

"Nishan Saman I Bithe" - The Tale of the Nishan Shaman. One of the most ancient and complete sources on Siberian shamanism that have reached us. Ancient Tungus-Manchu legend about the young shamaness Teteke, who sets off on a journey to the Land of the Dead (Land of Ilmun Khan) to bring back to life the 15-year-old Sigurdai Fyanga, the heir of the local ruler, who died while hunting.
What makes this "Tale of the Nisan Shaman" an invaluable treasure, first of all, is that it contains detailed descriptions of shamanic rituals and, of course, preserved texts and descriptions of spell songs that the shaman and her assistants use to perform rituals and interact with spirits. When recording, we decided to preserve the language and phonetics of these spell songs in order to convey the power of this spells and its sound, atmosphere and rhythm.
