There are both male and female shamans in some cultures. An absolutely fabulous book that explores this subject is Entering the Circle, by Olga Kharitidi. I highly recommend it....one of the best books I have read.

Exactly. In Mongolia, for example, many shamans are women but not all. And of course, Mongolia is anything but a feminist’s dream society…
