Summary of Daniel Tudor's Korea

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The musok, or Korean shaman, is a tradition that has been practiced for more than forty thousand years. It is a form of communication with the spirit world, and it is still practiced today.

#2 Musok is a set of disparate religious or superstitious practices based in the belief of a natural world animated by spirits, and aimed at bridging between those spirits and living human beings. It is very practical, as it is used to solve people’s problems via communication with the spirit world.

#3 Musok is considered feminine in nature, and this is largely due to the fact that most practitioners are women. It has become a very profitable business, and many musok-in are drawn to it by the fact that it has become a very profitable business.

#4 The process of becoming a musok-in can start in two ways. The first is seseupmu, the inheritance of shaman status from one’s family, with an older relative conferring the status on a younger one. The second is gangshinmu, when a woman is visited by a spirit who takes possession of her.
