Talk:Ongon

A fact from Ongon appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 25 August 2012 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Mongolian shamanism (which comes in yellow and black) reveres a white old man (pictured) besides ongod such as Dayan Deerh and 99 or possibly 102 tngri?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2012/August. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mongolian shamanism.

Relevant reference source[edit]

There is a good encyclopedic article on the subject of "Ongon" written by Roberte Hayamon in 1987 which was also represented, with additional bibliographical material, in the 2005 Encyclopedia of Religion edited by Lindsay Jones. The source is available on the Highbeam Research site. I believe a version of it is also available free online, here, and another version of it published in a Macmillan compendium is I believe available free on the internet as well. I can access it easily, so I don't think it is behind a paywall, but if it is, let me know and I will e-mail a copy. John Carter (talk) 23:14, 15 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
