Well usually when a young one is still young, obviously they are known the be sick and so on. Usually when you're a bit older they tell you of your fate, because when becoming a shaman, you have to accept it or face death. when they are ready they get really sick, and have to get their "powers" ready. But theres also just not the shaman, my cousin is a "sho" LOL dont know how to spell, um those people like 'buddah,monk ect. They are very helpful too, sometmes even more powerful than a shaman, they can tell future, and so forth. but its a very hard situation because og's sometimes expect too much.
