Everything about Soul Dualism totally explained

Soul dualism or a dualistic soul concept is a range of beliefs that a person has two (or more) kinds of souls. In many cases, the one of the souls is associated with body functions “body soul”, and the other one can leave the body “free soul”. Sometimes the plethora of soul types can be even more complex. Grasping soul dualism can help to understand many shamanistic beliefs better.

Examples

Eskimo

Several Eskimo groups believe that a person has more than one types of souls. One is associated with respiration, the other can accompany the body as a shadow. Soul concept of Eskimo groups is diverse and not alike. In some cases, it's connected to shamanistic beliefs among the various Eskimo groups. Also Caribou Inuit groups believed in several types of souls..

Uralic peoples

The concept of more kinds of souls can be found also at several Finno-Ugric peoples. See notion of shadow-soul (being able to depart freely the body), for example in Hungarian folk beliefs. The Estonian soul concept has been approached by several authors, some of them using rather complex frameworks (online ).
