In memory of Sarangerel Odigon

This page is in memory of Sarangerel Odigon. Sarangerel was a founding member of Circle of Tengerism. She was also a founding member of Golomt tuv, the Mongolian shaman’s association. She was the Foreign Outreach officer of Golomt tuv and a member of Hese Hengereg, the Buryat shaman’s association.

Sarangerel helped to organize the first Ulaan Tergel ceremony in Mongolia since the Communist regime. This Ulaan Tergel ceremony has become an annual event in Mongolia and is a testament of her dedication to keep the old traditions alive.

Sarangerel took her Foreign Outreach office seriously and spent many years teaching people in Western countries about Siberian and Mongolian traditions. She wrote books about our spiritual world view and had many articles published as well. She spent countless hours corresponding with people, trying to clear up the many misconceptions about our beliefs.

The best quality she possesed was her immense dedication to the spirits and the traditions of her people. She lived her life in complete service to the spirits.

She will be greatly missed.

Her work shall be carried on by her family, her friends, her students, and her peers. I pray in this way we can keep her memory alive.

We of Golomt tuv are greatly saddened to hear the news of Sarangerel Odigons passing. She was a founding member of our shaman organization and a part of our lives. We pray for her and her family.

We will remember her as a great shaman with honour and respect.
