David Shi
Published by: Red wheel  Wiser

David Shi is a shamanic worker and folk magic practitioner who primarily engages in traditional North Asian forms of shamanism. He is primarily of Manchurian descent but can also trace ancestry to Mongolian, Chinese, Korean, as well as a little Tungus Siberian and ancient Central Asian Turkic heritage. Raised in a household that incorporated both Southeast Siberian and North Chinese practices, David has dedicated his spare time to the study of the spiritual traditions of his ancestors and of greater Eurasia. Recognized as a sagaasha/ongodtengertei, a future shaman prior to initiation, among both Mongolian and Korean shamans, David’s practices are deeply rooted in spirit work in which ancestral and land spirits are called to empower all workings. David’s readings incorporate a combination of Tarot, Bones, Jaw-harp, as well as Mongolian stone divination (known as Kumalak in Turkic Central Asia).

David is the author of the new book “Spirit Voices: The Mysteries and Magic of North Asian Shamanism” and currently resides in Manhattan, New York, where he occasionally provides spiritual services, products, and workshops to his immediate communities. Follow him on Instagram @davidjshi311.

Jason Mankey
Published by: Llewellyn

What is there to say about Jason Mankey and ConVocation?  Jason attended his first Con way back in 1999 in the long long ago when he used to live in Lansing, Michigan. Since then Jason has been a regular attendee of Con, and that didn't change even after he moved out to the West Coast back in 2011. Jason has come a long way since 1999, not only does he now have longer hair, he's also become a prolific author, having penned nine titles for Llewellyn since 2016!  Con without Mankey?  The idea might delight a few festival goers but it absolutely terrifies Mankey who loves Con with the fiery intensity of a thousand suns. When not writing about magick, the Horned God, and half a dozen other Witchcraft related things Jason can be found at the local pub cheering on his beloved Michigan State Spartans!  Go Green!  (And Go Con!)
