Dear Kalima,
Concerning classical shamanism, the standard reference work is probably
Gisela Bleibtreu-Ehrenberg, Homosexualität und Transvestition im
Schamanismus, "Anthropos", 65, 1/2 (1970), p. 189-228, later republished as
monograph in an extended version: Id., Der Weibmann. Kultischer
Geschlechtswechsel im Schamanismus: eine Studie zur Transvestition und
Transsexualität bei Naturvölkern. Frankfurt 1984.
A very good list of texts dealing with transgenderism, mostly from a
psycological and socio-medical point of view, is:

Best whishes,
Davide

Subject: Re: [ACADEMIC-STUDY-MAGIC] transgender and paganism
Dear colleagues,
could you, please, recommend some relevant texts dealing with the problem of
transgender and paganism and perhaps shamanism, or even religion in general.
I´ve got rich fieldwork data but almost no theoretical background, dealing
with gender for the first time.
Thank you very much!
