Shamanic elements in Slovenian folklore are hard to separate from concepts like spirit possession or ecstasy, according to an analysis of Slovenian data and comparative literature. The author argues that these terms overlap in practice and cannot be clearly distinguished. The study also explores the original meanings of the folk figures kresnik and vedomec, offering explanations for their names.
