KOIGUN-HAM: THE IMAGE OF A HARE IN THE SHAMANIC REPRESENTATIONS OF TUVANS

The article considers the image of a hare in connection with the shamanic beliefs of the Tuvans. Many representatives of the animal world in shamanism act as assistants (messengers) of shamans (tuv. ederinci, shapkynchy). Shamans during a special ceremony addresses some of them with a chant (tuv. algysh) to receive their help in completing tasks. The hare appears in different guises in the spiritual culture of the Tuvans. He is one of the main shamanic animals. Special algysh is also dedicated to the hare. In shamanism, in addition to faith in a shaman himself and his spiritual assistants, there is a faith in the magical power of fetishized attributes (tuv. eeren).
