The article discusses the numerological perspective of naming shamans of Inner Asia and the astrological factors involved in shamanistic nomenclature. Rather than the names for shamans deriving out of a unilateral shamanic praxis, the author argues that they are formed from a dynamic symbolic interaction between numerological and astrological practices. The numerological aspects of Inner Asian cosmography is also discussed, as well as Chinese, Tungusic, and Manchu sources. The author also notes the similarity of the cognitive patterning of the shamanic names of Inner Asia after the psychobiological foundation argued for by other scholars.
