Wa Shoua Xiong

Wa Shoua Xiong is a real Hmong shaman who has been helping and curing people for over 20 years. He came to America and he had to go get a permit in order for him to be a shaman. It is illegal for anyone without a permit to get involve with this activity.

We got most of our information from this wonderful man. He was really kind to let us take pictures of his tools. All the pictures that are shown in this web site are taken by Annie Xiong. None of the pictures in here are taken off of the internet.

This is Xiong holding his permit



This is his permit. If you can read, you can see that above his picture, the text "The Practice of Hmong Religion as a Shaman" is written.
