Korea: Shamanism, Rituals, and God Sickness

The Sacred and Superstitious by Daphne Fama

Episode notes

We're leaving Korea next month and to commemorate our time in this beautiful country I'll be doing a special on Korean shamanism! Shamanism in Korea has a long, deep history but it's a practice that's still very much alive today. Mudang, female shamans, summon gods and spirits into their bodies to perform rituals that can change your fortune or save you from severe illness. It's a fascinating subject! Come back next week for the next episode in Filipino witchcraft.
