a very interesting post today, @slowwalker

I know a little about Shamans because our native North American indigenous people practice their own forms of ritualistic worship closely related to Nature - so worshipping the mountain god would be similar.

I understand that some of these shrines in Korea have fallen into ruin but lately many are being rebuilt.

You are very respectful of others' beliefs - I admire that.

BTW, I wasn't aware that there were different classes of houses displaying flags and symbols and that the Buddhist symbol was the highest!

Very fascinating, my friend :)
