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.

All individuals, male or female have both aspects of masculine and feminine consciousness. To be a true shaman, you must have combined both in order to reach the level where the spiritual abilities are realized. That is why “Love” is so important as it is the glue that holds the soul together facilitating higher development.
