@eueu_music: Korean shamanism, known as musok, is an indigenous folk religion with a history stretching back thousands of years. At its center is the mudang, a shaman who acts as a spiritual intermediary between the human world and the realm of spirits. Through a ritual called gut, the mudang calls upon various deities — ancestral spirits, mountain gods, or warrior spirits — to heal illness, ward off bad luck, or guide the souls of the dead to the afterlife. These rituals are vibrant, theatrical performances involving colorful traditional costumes, singing, dancing, and music, making them both a religious rite and an art form. Though shaped by centuries of Buddhist and Confucian influence, the tradition survives to this day, and in recent years has drawn growing international attention through K-pop, film, and other Korean pop culture. #korea #shamanism #koreahistory
