Description: The shamanic mythology of Korea is divided into five regional traditions (Korean: 무가권/巫歌圈 muga-gwon), representing the primary regional variations of the pan-Korean narratives Jeseok bon-puri and Princess Bari. Each of the five regions also has myths not found in the other regions, as well as characteristic preferences in the performance of narratives. The mythological tradition of southern Jeju Island is particularly divergent. Hwanghae Province has no mythological tradition, and shamanism does not exist in northern Hamgyong Province.
