muism

Muism, also known as Korean shamanism, is an ancient spiritual practice that emphasizes the interconnectedness of humans with nature and the divine through rituals led by shamans, or “mudang.” This belief system integrates animistic elements, where spirits inhabit natural objects and phenomena, and it serves as a conduit for healing, divination, and maintaining harmony between the physical and spiritual worlds. In contemporary Korea, Muism continues to influence cultural practices and societal values, reflecting a profound respect for ancestral traditions while adapting to modern contexts.
