Shamanic divination is an ancient and mysterious method of prediction that is intimately tied to the religion of Shamanism, particularly prevalent among the northern ethnic minorities, where it holds significant social functions and widespread influence.

It serves not only as a psychological comfort for people confronted with difficult questions but also as a means for seeking divine guidance and predicting the future. Within the Shamanic system, shamanic divination is regarded as a sacred activity imbued with special authority and sanctity.
In ancient times, shamans employed divination to foresee the causes and consequences of events, transforming them into a type of prophetic figure. These shamans possessed ancient and primitive “predictive science” knowledge, which incorporated elements of folk science.

As an ancient and enigmatic method of prediction, shamanic divination occupies a prominent historical position and cultural value within the societies of the northern ethnic minorities. It not only reflects people’s reverence and awe towards deities and nature but also embodies their wisdom and courage in confronting the unknown world. As a cultural heritage, it remains worthy of our understanding, appreciation, and protection.
