Abstract
The Pedigree of Succession Based on Ancestry of Women Shamans in Jindo Ssitgimgut+ ×


This study aims to investigate the genealogy of succession in each household of woman shamans performing Jindo Ssitgimgut. A literature review was conducted to examine previous studies and data, and we conducted interviews in parallel to confirm and verify the findings from the literature review. This research focuses on the women shamans of the Park, Kang, Ham, and Chae families. Tracing back the transmission process of Jindo Ssitgimgut reveals two distinct succession patterns. Among the two is the Jindo Ssitgimgut Preservation Association, which is centered on Park's family, and the other is the Ham family. The Preservation Association accepted a variety of successors, both shamans and non-shamans, and established a method of passing them on through education rather than through hereditary descent. In the case of the Ham family, after the death of the shaman Chae Jeong-rye, a possessed shaman who was also a disciple of Chae became the successor. These two patterns suggest that Jindo Ssitgimgut cannot expect hereditary successions within the family to continue.Due to the change of times and unsuitable succession environment, the Jindo Ssitgimgut hereditary is on the verge of extinction. In order to ensure the proper succession and preservation of the existing hereditary dance, it is necessary to understand the genealogy of woman shamans.
