Description: This book examiness mi shamanism in Norway as a uniquely distinctive local manifestation of a global new religious phenomenon. It takes the diversity and hybridity within shamanic practices seriously through case studies from a Norwegian setting and highlights the ethnic dimension of these currents through a particular focus ons mi versions of shamanism. The book's thesis is that the construction of as mi shamanistic movement makes sense from the perspective of the broader ethno - political search for as mi identity with respect to connections to indigenous peoples worldwide and trans - historically. It also makes sense in economic and marketing terms. Based on more than ten years of ethnographic research the book paints a picture of contemporary shamanism in Norway in its cultural context relating it both to the local mainstream cultures in which it is situated and to global networks. By this the book provides the basis for a study revealing the development of inventiveness nuances and polyphony that occur when a global religion of shamanism is merged in a Norwegian setting colored by its own political and cultural circumstances.
