Reflection
Important notes from passage:




  • Robes and ceremonial clothing are an important part of pre-ritual behaviour.
  • symbols such as the sun and the moon, mountains, flowers and animals such as cranes, bears, and hares. 
  • Bells, mirrors, and teeth are items of power used for protection.
  • Mirrors were seen to be most powerful, a shamans mirror was said to:
  • purify water
  • manifest or press down spirits, diseases and suffering 
  • replenish the soul
  • show the truth
