Summary
Description Mudang performing a ritual placating the angry spirits of the dead.png |
A mudang (Korean female shaman) holding a ritual ( gut ) to placate the angry spirits of the dead preventing them from haunting the lives of her clients. Note: Studying Korean shamanism (Muism) and mythology you may notice the many similarities it has with other Eurasian religions and the Germanic traditional religions (for example the triune conception of God—Haneullim—manifest in Hwanin, Hwanung and Dangun, corresponding to Wotan, Thor and Ing-Frey; but also the etymological connection Dangun•Tangur—Tengri—Tonger•Thunor•Thor). In the photo above, the god represented on the cloth to the left of the priestess (right of the viewer) has striking resemblance to depictions of Wotan. |
