"신령" refers to a spirit or deity in Korean culture, often associated with nature or ancestral worship. These spirits are believed to have the power to influence human lives and the environment. In traditional beliefs, people may seek the favor of 신령 through rituals and offerings to ensure good fortune and protection. In Korean shamanism, 신령 plays a significant role in various ceremonies. Shamans, known as 무당, act as intermediaries between the human world and the realm of 신령. They perform rituals to communicate with these spirits, seeking guidance and blessings for individuals or communities.
