They called Korean Shaman "Moo Dang". The origin of Moo Dang is uncertain.
But we suppode that it came from the prehistory age. At that time, religion and political powers were not devided. So Moo Dang had had not only religious but also political leader for long time.
Nowdays Moo Dang’s roles are limited only in the primitive religion, fortune teller and playing special ceremony to prevent evil spirits, etc.
These photos are Moo Dang playing ceremony
I took a photo of Moo Dang, When I had traveled 2 months ago.
It seemed that Moo Dang having a ceremony to receive spiritual power from somewhere.I posted about that
On the business trip, I could’ve taken some photos of Moo Dang’s houses.
At first, their house seems same, but there are big differences among their houses.
I heard that there were strict classifications of hierarchy.
The lowest Moo Dang’s house has only red and white flag
There are Korean national flag and red and white flag in Middle class house.
The highest and strongest house can use the symbol of Buddha.
It looks like hagen cross of NAZI, but quite different from that.
At first colour is red, and the end of symbol goes to opposite direction.
This house can use dried bamboo pole.
In korean Buddhist temple, there are such places to serve the traditional spiritual existence, for example mountain god.
Buddhist temple prepared special place for traditional religion to appease their opposition.
That’s why Moo Dang have been using Buddhist Flag.
I found strange thing. The house of Moo Dang , who has highest spiritual level, looked being almost collapsed.
I heard that the more stronger spiritual power Moo Dang has, the more difficult their live is.
Does your place have this kinds of primitive religion yet ?
You can say superstitious, but it is not enough to say just superstitious.
