Shamanism’s Ancient Korean Roots
Shamanism has shaped Korean culture from prehistoric times to today, existing alongside Buddhism without ever becoming a formal religion. It involves shamans, self-appointed spiritual guides, who promise to connect with spirits to help the living. Though lacking texts or hierarchy, shamanism deeply influenced Korean art, music, literature, and architecture, especially among common people.
Key Facts
Ancient and enduring: Practiced from prehistoric Korea up to the modern era.
Non-religious system: No official priesthood, scripture, or dogma.
Shamans' role: They act as intermediaries with the spirit world, chosen by belief, not appointment.
Popular among peasants: Continued alongside official state Buddhism.
Cultural impact: Reflected in Korean art, literature, music, and architecture.
Historical Context
Shamanism originated in northeast Asia and Arctic regions before taking hold in Korea. Unlike organized religions, it remained a flexible belief system, deeply embedded in everyday life, especially for the rural population. Buddhism dominated the official religious landscape but never fully replaced it.
Historical Significance
Despite lacking formal doctrine, shamanism profoundly influenced Korean cultural expression and spirituality. It preserved a native worldview across centuries, shaping Korea’s unique artistic and literary traditions. Its survival alongside Buddhism highlights Korea’s diverse spiritual heritage and illustrates how indigenous beliefs endure beneath official religions.

Random thoughts and silly questions I have while watching "Genie, Make a Wish" (Yes, I'm slow and still on Episode 10, lol): How accurate are the historical parts of this drama and was the path to Goryeo really blocked centuries ago? Now I'm curious about the Silk Road or Spice Routes, lol. If Persian traders were able to go to ancient China and the Chinese had ties with the people of Goryeo, what does the drama mean by saying that the path is blocked? Why is it so hard for past!Ka-young to return from the Middle East to Goryeo? I'm genuinely nosy and if anyone has the answers, please feel free to let me know, hehe!
