Abstract

The present work is intended to describe and explain some fundamental aspects of the so-called prehistorical shamanism in the context of the archaic Indo-European religion, and specifically the zoomorphic expressions around the concept of the Axis Mundi. For this purpose we take account of the data derived mainly from the reconstruction of the Indo-European poetic language.
