Korean shamans (mudang 무당) discuss entering trances and undergoing possession by the spirits of warrior generals (changun 장군). During their possession rituals (kut 굿), the mudang climb sharp blades (chaktu), deliver divinations, and throw charms to their audiences. By Shai and Liora Sarfati. umsinai@hotmail.com

  • If any religion is the intolerant one, it is Christianity. Saying that other faiths are wrong and it is right. Animism is the first religion. If anything is the "one true religion", it is that. And if anything seems demonic and impure, it is the bigoted belief that the faiths of other nations are wrong. It is the Christian teaching that there is only the Christian teaching that is right, that is wrong and demonic. I say, forever live animism, the tolerant, universal religion.

  • @AKUMARYU666 agreed!! while i understand Christianity as a concept it really doesn't hold an ounce of culture or tradition!! christians want to believe their religion is sensible when they all are!!

  • @tehbible No we meet them in life. That's the whole point...

  • this is the real deal. we meet these spirits after we die. christianity is just a metaphor for ancient egyptian religion anyhow. They worship on SUNday.

  • Seo Kyeung Uk elucidates temporal distortion beautifully eloquently. You can be a shaman tonight, too! Just do exactly what she said. Notify the sky that there is a need, and you may receive blessings. If your will is true and your need is heard the spirits will reciprocate. That's all I have to add to her beautifully spoken comment.

  • This is what's great about animism and ancestor worship religions. In Christianity, they say, "I am the one true religious", and thus imperialistically push out and destroy and claim other religions as wrong. But in most animistic faiths, people believe in revering all ancestors and spirits worthy of adoration. Have you seen how they said they revere both Japanese and Mongolian spirits? All all nations were animist at one point in time. And yet Christians claim that they're wrong?

  • Jesus Rules! BOOYAH!!!

  • Thank you very much for this wonderful video

  • Koreans should not forget their old traditions, the traditions are pure, beautiful, and wonderful is a shame and a pity that Christianity is destroying Korea and Koreans
