Really need white anthopologists, archaeologists, and historians to stop referring to religious people in W. Europe as 'shamans'. Stop using Indigenous terminology like that. It's irresponsible and inaccurate.
You replied that it was okay to use shamanism to discuss the Hungarians, and I said that it is not. Unless they had a cognate word in their own language, which seems unlikely because Hungarian is a descendant of a different Siberian lang, then I'm not sure what your point is.

Relying on an ethnographer who, when I look at his work, seems to elide spiritual and religious practices of many different peoples under "shamanism" (and uses words like "aborigine") while ignoring that there is plenty of discussion since as to why it's problematic

and that it should not get applied wholesale to Indigenous religions as it has been, and especially not to places where they did not use the term at all and there is no evidence they used it is a highly frustrating conversation to have.
