This episode features a story from Korea called "Beyond the Turtle Ocean, above the Western Sky". In it we discover a young sick girl and a shaman or spiritual healer or Mudang who helps the sick girl trace the source of her mysterious illness while discovering another young girl with an mystical incredible story. Mudangs perform various rituals, including dancing, chanting, and sometimes even channeling spirits, to heal the sick and bring blessings to individuals or communities. The dances they perform are often symbolic and rhythmic, believed to connect them with the spiritual realm and channel healing energy to those in need. These healing dances are deeply rooted in Korean culture and are still practiced in some communities today. This story is an excerpt from Wild Girls.
