Shamanism appeared in Korea many centuries before Buddhism, Confucianism, and Shintoism, which came from neighboring Asian countries. It is shamanic songs that have preserved ancient mythological stories for us. Shamanism is still alive in Korea, and shamans perform rituals for large corporations and ordinary people.

Koreans believe that throughout life, a person is surrounded by various spirits. Only intermediaries—shamans, usually women—can communicate with them. From this book, you will learn who becomes a shaman, what knowledge and songs are needed to summon a spirit, why it is so important to call upon a ceiling beam and dance on knives, and how millennia-old shamanic practices continue to live on in modern times.
