Siberian mythology encompasses the diverse beliefs and stories of the indigenous peoples of Siberia, including the Yakuts, Evenks, and Chukchi. These myths often feature a rich pantheon of deities, spirits, and mythical creatures that reflect the natural environment and the cultural practices of the tribes. Central to Siberian mythology is the concept of animism, where natural elements like rivers, mountains, and animals are believed to possess spirits. Shamanism plays a crucial role, with shamans acting as intermediaries between the human world and the spirit realm, guiding rituals and healing practices.
