morefootnotes date July 2010 Image Shamans Drum.jpg thumb right 225px The Shamanism Shaman s drum depicts the Tungus cosmology with the World Tree at the center joining the underworld, earth and heaven together. The Tungusic creation myths are traditional stories of the creation of the world belonging to the Tungusic peoples of Siberia . In one well known version the story begins when nothing exists but a vast primordial ocean. Buga deity Buga , their central deity, set fire to this water, and following a long struggle the flames consumed much of the water, exposing dry, hard land. Then Buga created the light and separated it from darkness, and descended to the newly created land. There he confronted Buninka , the devil, and a dispute arose between them over who had created the world. Buninka was spiteful and tried to injure Buga s creation. He broke Buga s twelve stringed lyre, and Buga angrily challenged Buninka to make a fir tree and raise it to stand fast and firm in the middle of the sea. Buga agreed he would bow to Buninka s powers if he could do so, but if he failed then Buga would subject himself to the same challenge. If Buga were then to succeed, Buninka must concede to Buga that he was the most powerful creator. Buninka agreed to the challenge and commanded a fir tree to rise from the sea. The tree grew, but it was weak and bobbed to and fro. Buga then created a second tree but it thrived and grew into a stately tree. Buninka was forced to acknowledge Buga s greater power and bowed in homage. Buga put his hand to Buninka s head and turned it to iron. This caused so much pain in Buninka that he begged Buga for release, and Buga relented Buninka was then allowed to roam the earth. Buga collected materials to make mankind. From the east he gathered iron from the south fire the west, water and from the north, earth. From the earth he made flesh and bone from the iron he made heart from the water he made blood and from the fire he gave them vitality, and thus ... more details
