Siberian Shaman from Carpe Diem post. The term ‘shaman’ originated in Siberia.

The story continues:
The shaman is lighting a fire in a hollow dug in the ground

As we read on in “Aleph” we read that Paulo and Yao
are visiting a Shaman who can talk with the wife of Yao,
who past away several years ago,
and by whom Yao was in an earlier stage of his life.
Hilal
has asked if she could go with them,
but
the tradition of the shamans doesn’t allow women at their rituals
so Hilal has to stay alone accompanied by a few other women.
Yao says to her:
‘You cannot go with us, but stay here on the shore of the lake.
You will be part of the ritual …
just open your mind and you will feel if you were really there’.
Hilal accepts that she cannot go and stays on the shore.

I receive your love and I give you mine.
Not the love of a man for a woman,
not the love of a father for a child,
not the love of God for His creatures,
but a love with no name and no explanation,
like a river that cannot explain
why it follows a particular course,
but simply flows onwards.
A love that asks for nothing
and gives nothing in return,
it is simply there. […]
