A 6 YEARS LATER UPDATE! :-)

Back in April 2006, I noted a bit of Fundie kraziness that involved "homosexual shamans" and I left it at that.  E. R. Dodds' The Greeks and The Irrational has a bit of confirmation about the existence of this kind of shamans:

The passages from Pindar and Xenophon with which we started suggest that one source of the puritan antithesis might be the observation that "psychic" and bodily activity vary inversely: the psyche is most active when the body is asleep or, as Aristotle added, when it lies at the point of death. This is what I mean by calling it an "occult" self. Now a belief of this kind is an essential element of the shamanistic culture which still exists in Siberia, and has left traces of its past existence over a very wide area, extending in a huge arc from Scandinavia across the Eurasian land-mass as far as Indonesia;  the vast extent of its diffusion is evidence of its high antiquity. A shaman may be described as a psychically unstable person who has received a call to the religious life. As a result of his call he undergoes a period of rigorous training, which commonly involves solitude and fasting, and may involve a psychological change of sex. From this religious "retreat" he emerges with the power, real or assumed," of passing at will into a state of mental dissociation. (p. 140)
