The Old Mongolians were mostly polytheistic meaning they acknowleged many gods. Their chief god went by Tengri who was basically nature itself in the Mongolian world. But there were other "heavenly beings" that served this God and that they also acknowledged like the sun and moon gods. The Mongolians also believed more in shamanism, in which the messenger conveys the message to the people through one particular individual. The names of many of the gods vary.
shamanism
Shamanism is an oral tradition. Some books exist on the subject, but nothing that I would call a holy scripture.

Shamanism, with a capital "S", is the religion of the Tungus people of Siberia. However, shamanism, with a lower-case "s", is NOT a religion. Shamanism has come to be the term applied to similar practices from around the world. A shaman acts as the priest, or priestess, of an animistic society. Shamans commonly provide such services as soul retrieval, medical service, and prophecy for his/her tribe or village.
