Imitation of sounds in shamanism

Shamanism in various cultures shows great diversity.[1] In some cultures, shamanic music may intentionally mimic natural sounds, sometimes with onomatopoeia.[2] Imitation of natural sounds may also serve other functions not necessarily related to shamanism, such as luring in the hunt;[3] and entertainment (katajjaqs of the Inuit).[3][4]
