Dont include those Case Processing Summaries they tell us nothing

You're one table is not enough for a full paper but the significance is .27 (non significant) unless you use Fisher exact (and you would need to pay attention to how to do that, how to set up the table. In that case p=.064 for N=52 but there are not many cases for the generalization

Female shamans (N=4) ==> Sex of gods etc Equal (N=16) but not the converse.

This might be a more powerful statement if you could find out WHERE ie in what type of society Female shamans occur. Then in that context (as layer variable) you might find a stronger correlation for how shamans influence the religion generally. (There is a study by winkleman devoted to shamans versus other religious practitioners you should look at altho only 25% of the sample is coded)
