This text shows how the shamans, during their night-long performances, create the worlds of words in which shamans exist. It analyzes texts that the shamans use to diagnose and treat afflictions that trouble their clients.

Containing three representative repertoires and over 250 texts, this bilingual (Nepali and English) volume includes both publicly chanted recitals and privately whispered spells of Western Nepal's three leading shamans, annotated with extensive notes.
