In order to truly understand the meaning of shamanism, shamanism has to reveal its first definition. The word shaman is derived from the word of Evenk, a small Tungusic hunter from Reykjavik and reindeer herders. Originally it was only used to name religious experts in the area. By the beginning of the 20th century, it was applied to various North American and South American customs of the present and the past. Today, the term shaman is defined as a person who acknowledges that he / she has come into contact with a spiritual entity.
Mircea Eliade wrote as follows. "The first definition of this complex phenomenon is probably the least dangerous." Shamanism includes the premise that the wizard is between the human world and the spiritual world. Intermediary or messenger. . Sherman is said to cure disease by restoring the soul. Reducing the trauma affecting the soul / spirit can restore the balance and whole of the individual's body. Sherman also enters supernatural areas and dimensions to get a solution to the problem afflicting the community. Sherman can visit other worlds / dimensions, provide guidance for misplaced souls, and improve human soul diseases caused by external factors.

Chondogyo: Alternatively, heavenly religion based on Korean shamanism, Buddhism and Korean folk tradition, some of them come from Christianity. It was formed in the 1860s and I believed that God lived in all of us and worked hard to transform society into a paradise on Earth.
The role of shamanism in South Korea is opposite. The spirit of shamanism, which is known as Manshin in Korea, will not go anywhere else. Instead, the gods, souls, or ancestors enter the shaman and the shamans become gods. This is a very strong testimony. The conversation and movement with Sherman are totally different, she shows completely different personality - in regional dialect, Sherman himself does not know the way of saying and will accept authority. People are aware of the existence of God, special gestures and bows - this means that you do not understand that Sherman is no longer a shaman but she is a god
