Abstract:
Khorchin shamanism, a traditional worship system with a rich heritage, is characterized by its multifaceted spiritual beliefs and practices. This study systematically analyzes the theoretical underpinnings, regional variations, and typological classifications within Khorchin shamanism, drawing insights from ethnography and historical studies. It explores the foundational concepts of shamanism, examines how local environmental, cultural, and religious influences have shaped distinct practices in Western and Eastern Khorchin, and categorizes the primary shamanic types, including Hondon, Khorchin shaman, Laichin, and Gurdem. The findings highlight the complex internal diversification of Khorchin shamanism and its historical evolution, contributing to a deeper understanding of this unique spiritual and cultural phenomenon
