Summary
editDescriptionGuksadang 국사당 國師堂 (5480847865).jpg |
This is a shaman shrine off the beaten path, having been at this location since 1925 but dating back much farther. I was able to find this place based on a travel blog post written by a Delta Air Lines flight attendant. This is a rare place where one can see the practices of Korean shamanism live and in its natural habitat. Despite the rapid modernization, and the demonization of shamanism by military dictators and Christians, shamanism remains a key element of Korean culture and spirituality, and now enjoys official government recognition under the politically correct legal label "folk religion." The courtyard of Guksadang is filled with the smell of garbage. That's due to rotting food left outside, for the mountain spirits (in the form of crows and other birds) to eat. |
