With Mongolian Shamans, true Medicine man or woman usually has an assistant, and when doing a ritual for a sick person or to bring order and balance for someones lives the Shaman will ask that the person whom the shaman is doing healing for provides the ingredients and tools for the ritual.
If a gift is offered by the recipient, it is important that thanx is given to Mother Earth (Gazar Eej - Etugan), Father Heaven (Tenger Etseg), Tengers and Ancestors.
No shamanist ritual starts without the invocation of Father Heaven, Mother Earth, and the ancestors.
I myself have felt the call to Mongolian Shamanism and looking for a teacher as all my life I have been inflicted with disability and have found healing in Shamanic rituals and I feel so drawn to Tengerism. I do have Mongolian in my blood so to speak and no other way of spiritual life worked for me until I followed my family tree to Mongolian Shamanism and I have been learning and trying to follow the basic rituals.
I live in Australia so finding a teacher is somewhat impossible but if you are an Aussie Mongolian Shaman reading this whom could help let me know.
