Shamanism was the prevalent communal experience.
In Old Siberian and Mongolian societies shamans of both sexes
(Female ones were called idugan, and male ones were called boege)
served important functions for their people. Female shamans are said to be more adept at receiving messages from the other world(s), whereas men are considered equal or better at transmitting the active forces. Recently, this Siberian/Mongolian tradition in which female idugan play an indispensable role has again drawn attention, both from anthropologists and people who have wanted to acquaint themselves personally with Shamanistic techniques of old. This resurgence of an old religious tradition is most notable in the areas of Tuva and Buryatia, which incidentally lie at the southeast of the Bajkal Sea, exactly in the area where the Mongol nation found its cradle.
