shamanistic ceremonials, rituals, practices


Explanation:
Ссылки на русский термин с тоннами объяснений на Гугле открываются десятками. С аналогами на английском плохо. Часто подчеркивается ecstatic nature, но прилагательное shamanistic на это как бы намекает по определению. Или надо расписывать.

agree  marfus: rituals, yes; practices, no: they may include many non-extatic activities (curative, gathering herbs, &c) that have nothing to do with камлания

... Stepanida singt \"ugadan kurduk\" als eine Schamanin - die Schamanin wird in Kamlania
fьr mдchtiger gehalten als der Schamane - und es ist schwer zu beweisen ...

So in Kamlania female
shamans are considered more powerful than male shamans ))))

agree  Sergei Rioumin: Powwow is the term. I happened to translate a book about ritual cults.

  -> Thank you, Sergei !
neutral  Jarema: You can say POWWOW about the NA-Indians, but not about asian nations. Shamanic seance has a more exactly meaning.
