back to The Visionary Experience of Hungarian Shaman Joska Soos de Sovar: index page
In 1946 Joska Soos moved to Belgium and lived for a while in Charleroi. In 1965 he went to live in Brussels. In the 1980's he moved to Merksem, a part of the city of Antwerp. My first visit to his house in Antwerp was in 1989. Over the years he sent me pictures of himself in and outside his house. I have also added pictures from other sources. You can clearly see that the light-sound beings were an important part of his life. |

This mala was hanging in his shamanization room. It is made out human bones (from deceased llamas) sculpted into large skull beads. |

Shamans like strawberries too! |
In this picture you can see a metal creation he made of a light being. In his right hand he is holding a Buddhist ritual dagger. Around his neck is a special amulet he was given. Power Structure of a Light Being, 1993 |

On the wall is a painting that had such a special meaning
to him that he never wanted to sell it.
