The Huns were one of the early groups of Germanic peoples who lived in the Volga river area. They were pastoral and nomadic and appeared in Europe (or what was known of Europe) circa 400 AD. Their beliefs included a large degree of animism, so they tried to live good lives in harmony with the natural world. They had a strong belief in a "female mother" goddess whom they identified with the sky which they saw as a great dome that spread as far as the eye could see above them. The Huns also believed in ancestor worship, by which means they felt inspired and protected. Shamanism also played a large part in their spiritual practices; the Shaman being the bridge between the gods, and spirits of nature. From memory, they also had strong beliefs in the four winds (ie. North, South, East and West) and the soul was described as "wind horse", the personal power to steer one's life.

It's also likely that the Huns were the Xiongnu, which would situate them in Mongolia. A survey of the people around there at the time of the Xiongnu may lend to a vague picture of the Hun's apperance.
