My father was a young Shaman at the age of 18 n still today at 80's. I'm surprised it's being known n documented on National Geographic; I've always love you guys magazine since the late 80's. Ty.
incase you're wondering, the majority of edible parts of the pig is consumed and not wasted, even the organs and intestines are cooked into a dish, they even strip the meat from the head
then they are just judging to fast ... this would be weirdest thing in my country, but that doesnt mean its a bad thing. I love to learn stuff about other cultures, just be a kind and caring person thats all that matters
Probably because rituals and superstitions such as this are nonsensical. You have every right to do it obviously but don't be surprised if it is met with judgement.
@@kenji1516 Hi! My name is Julien Roclaud. I am French and I sincerely believe in your spirituality! I recommend the RUclips video: Oleg de normandie, hmong, hyperboreen. ⚡🔨⚡ God Sooorrrrr !!! Peace and love.
Just because some people don't see it often doesn't mean it doesn't work. I recently read somewhere that a kid was sick and the parents didn't take the kid to the hospital, all they did was prey and the kid end up dying. Can we call church scam too? If u don't understand u shouldn't say anything. I don't understand church and what ever they do so I don't talk crap about it. Everyone should do the same.
I'm hmong and full hmong from Thailand through all are sacrifice and the worlds illness. Shaman is a real in our religion and now we do not fight what's haunted and the remember the dead as haunted we do shamen to travel and call upon our heroes to save the world and what's left.
I love learning about and have mad respect for any so-called "alternative" healing methods, especially shamanism. It's so important not to lose all of this ancient wisdom. I just hate the way animals are treated in so many cultures (of course that includes the west). Let a willing human sacrifice their soul and leave the pig out of it.
only an animals soul can save human souls the pig is taken to the gate of reincarnation after the ceremony because of the great sacrifice they made to save this person from illness they will be reincarnated as a human and one day the human and the animal will switch places
@@hmongb9656 Lol. You know what saved my mom? It wasn't no pig, no chicken and eggs. She wasted $1200 on a shaman ritual. She wasted over $4000 on Hmong herbal rubbish and Hmong massage. She visited over 10 shamans. They all came up with their own BS and came up with their own shaman ritual chanting. In the end..guess what saved mom? The real professional medical doctors and lab results. Mom caught H. Pylori that's why she was in pain or so. After taking the strong antibiotics for 2 weeks she gotten better and recovered. Of course JUST LIKE YOU she deny that it was the antibiotics it was all the shaman ritual. (Take 2 pills in the morning. Wait 12 hours and take another 2 pills. 4 pills per day. Total of 56 pills) The 7th Shaman she visited. This Shaman said that it is my little brother and my fault because we're not married. My mom's soul want a daughter in law to serve her 24/7. My mom's soul has ran away. One of us has to get married, after that we need to do a pig ritual to call back her soul. Lol
What's lacking in today's society is spiritual healing. In order to experience overall wellness, we need to be well in body, mind, and spirit. The soul needs as much healing as the body.
Cool need keep continue. i wish a real shaman help me i dont know what going on anymore after run around with the ignoran christians hope didnt get lost
I'm happy that the hospital takes their beliefs into consideration. Belief is important. But here's the important question: Do they get to eat the pig at the end of it?
chavamara the answer would yes and no. They do eat the pig after when the shaman is done with the ceremony but he also has to offer some part of the pig to the spirits too.
well, I am Hmong and he is an elemental shaman. To us, the color of the face veil represents the type of spirit guides that serve the shaman. Red veil shamans are those who spirit guides are mainly elemental guides like thunder, lightning, tornado, water, air.....Elemental shaman or red veil shamans in the Hmong culture mostly do exorcism, removal of negative entity, speak to the deities and perform healing rituals.
@@kenji1516 had to rewatch to get into context. But yeah, I did indeed have no clue whatsoever, and I really appreciate your nice simple explanation. Thanks 😊
shut the fuck up. Hmong shamans don't charge in reading or divination.. only big healing rituals.. and it usually just cost 50 to 100$.. stfu. It's just like when you go seek a doctor and they see you for consultation charging you 300$ to 1000$.
Alright they are telling the truth about this cause im hmong and ive been through this before and i wanted to see if it was a frod but nope it was real soo i wont have anything against this this is lagit
Thank you for documenting even this small bit! It’s so hard to learn about the Hmong people, especially being second gen born here and having most of my family already “westernized” to fit into society. That’s not a bad thing, but things like this I find are quickly being lost in my age. There’s a whole world i do not know of, and yet the culture and traditions are still in my blood. Again, thank you!
== Hmong culture is like other people culture too .... Hmong have Shaman , but other people they go to Church and believe in Jesus .... It's the same , so please do not say bad words to Shaman or Jesus .........
You care, your heart is pure........it must be heartbreaking to want others to respect what you know is sacred and you respect their practice and they must be fools because you honor yourself and them and they say they honor God and Jesus but they are only honoring themselves to exclude other faiths. I'm so glad divine energy didn't let me be a fool like them my whole life! That would have been a life wasted. Have a beautiful day

Francisco Rodriguez no wrong. if you think you know about Hmong people through this film then you know nothing at all. This film was written by white people for white people. If it was actually written by Hmong people then hell no we would have never given Clint Eastwood any food because he's an a******.
VanGogh22 Of course I don't believe that I know a culture because of a movie, that would be pretty stupid. However, I am spanish, and if it weren't for this film I actually wouldn't have the notion of their existence. You seem to claim that Gran Torino is a racist film, however the imagen portrayed of the Hmong people is very good. There is this line in which Clint claims to hace more in common with these people than with his own sons. And actually (spoiler alert), he sacrifices himself to save them from a violent gang. I suspect that you made this comment because Clint Eastwood is a republican and therefore he must be racist (and an a**hole), you seem to forget that the KKK was founded for democrats against the winners of the civil war led by Lincoln who was, you guessed it, a republican. Next time you come up with some social justice bs I advise you to think twice, unless you want your ass kicked by a foreighner with more notions of culture and history than you.
From all I seen About Hmnog Shamanism ...is talk talk talk ... I have not Found any Shamans That Are Able TO help me for. one matter Hmong or not... This Is not a trashin of HmonG Culture not in any way ...But even there people are using Shamanism more as a Titulary ... thing than that they are actual healers ...

I've heard a story of the time darkness rules the creation. And darkness has no power of life, so it borrowed the life power from light. Because of that darkness was able to create beings. But darkness not having the power of life couldn't sustain the beings it created. So to stay alive these beings has to consume the life force of other beings. After a while it was light's turn to rule creation. Light created a soul for the beings which allows them to live and thrive. But there are beings who have consumes too much blood and flesh that they could live in the light. So they went with darkness. They then comes back to the world of light to steal and eat souls so they can live. Soon they found out that a soul gave as a sacrifice is more filling than one taken. So they make bargains and perform miracles for sacrifices of souls. Now days using the souls of animals to perform healing rituals is not of the light but for the beings of darkness. A ture being of light or guardian spirit of good does not need a soul to heal, only a spirit from darkness devours life and souls. Funny thing is a sacrifice is not necessary to heal if the spirit doing the healing is good.
525Lines Gran Torino is written by White people for White people. Nothing accurate about my Hmong people at all. If you think you know us through this film then you are very ignorant.

Leo Huynh they always turn off comments on LGBT videos because there are a lot of bigots with very mean things to say. I'd rather comments were left on and we had chances to argue though. We aren't children who need shielding from hate.
if its a small ceremony than he doesn't need to be wearing his hmong clothes, but if it was a big ceremony where he was doing 1-3 people then yea wear hmong clothes so that your ancestors can notice you when u start the ritual.
"Someone with a made up title performs something made up to protect something made up from something made up" yeah... not going to waste my time with this.
shut the fuck up. It's not your culture.. you have your culture. This is NATGEO...you're not even Hmong, so why would you care. It's just like we don't care about your kind.

This has help people in the most critical ways. My grandpa does this and has help many people over in their spiritual side.
