On shamanic practices and “rice divination.”
In a recent piece on food divination, Associate Professor David Kim lent his expertise on magic and divination in contemporary South Korea.
“David J. Kim, a professor of anthropology at Purchase College in New York City, says it’s ‘staggering how many people go to see shamans and fortune tellers in South Korea and the amount of capital it generates.’
“Kim, who studies Korean shamanic practices, adds that rice divination is often used to commune with spirits.”
