摘要

这篇文章是对图瓦当代萨满教中与诅咒和邪恶咒语有关的概念的研究。作者注意到，尽管诅咒作为一种指向人与人之间关系特征的“诊断”，与后苏联萨满文化中关于超自然物质或恶灵的传统观念并行不悖，但它往往仍然是疾病、抑郁、能量损失的主要甚至唯一解释，以及人类生活中的其他问题。诅咒被萨满理解为一种物质，即使是看不见的，能量或本质必须被丢弃，以确保一个人的康复或防止可能的麻烦。因此，在今天的图瓦萨满活动中，各种净化仪式具有极其重要的意义。文章详细分析了相应的实践和概念的复杂性。

Concepts of Evil Spirits, Bewitchment and Purification Rites Among Contemporary Tuvan Shamans

The article is a study of concepts related to curses and evil spells in contemporary shamanism in Tuva. The author draws attention to the point that although curse, as a “diagnosis” pointing to the character of relationships between people, goes side by side with traditional ideas of supernatural substances or evil spirits in the culture of post-Soviet shamans, it still more often than not functions as the main or even sole explanation of diseases, depressions, energy losses, and other problems in human lives. Curse is understood by shamans as a material, even though invisible, energy or essence that has to be cast off to ensure a person’s recovery or to prevent possible trouble. Therefore, purifying rites of various kinds assume paramount importance in the activities of today’s shamans in Tuva. The complex of corresponding practices and concepts is analyzed in detail in the article.
