from

Alongside Russian Orthodox beliefs, Yukaghir still practice shamanism.
The dominant cults are ancestral spirits, the spirits of Fire, Sun, Hunt, Earth, and Water.
The spirits can act as protectors and as enemies of people.
The highest is the cult of Sun, the highest judge in all disputes.
The spirits of the dead go to “ Aibidzi ” where they are continually watching and helping.
Every clan had a shaman “ Alma ”.
After death every shaman was treated as a deity.
The body of the dead shaman was dismembered and kept by the clan as relics.
