Wolf werewolf. Shaman costume

The ability of the guardian spirits of shamans to appear in human form and speak with people is considered proof of their power. At the same time, they can sometimes appear in the form of unusual animals – for example, flying snakes or mammals, which is also evidence of the power of guardian spirits. Taking human form is a magical act. Being the guardian of the shaman, the animal endows him with the same power of reincarnation – especially from human to animal and vice versa.
The shaman’s belief that he can take the form of his guardian spirit is a long-standing and widespread belief. Shamans often turned into wolves, bears, deer, fish, birds.
