🔮 How is the Thai vs Korean shape different?

Have you ever wondered why K-Drama often sees scenes going to fortune tellers and saying, "Grandparents come to tell" 🤔

Today, let's open up the belief in the Thai vs Korean body!

🇹🇭 What is a Thai vessel?

Practice:

✅ Before Possession: Prayer, pay homage to the teacher

✅ During Possession: Use Flowers, Candle Incense, Holy Water

✅ Dress: Thai Dress Draped Fabric White / Red / Yellow

✅ Language: Thai-speaking, sometimes ancient language.

✅ Advice: Telling about the future, brewing, eliminating perils

Famous examples:

❇ Ruby Goddess (Mother Ruby Shrine)

□ His Majesty the King (Ubon Ratchathani)

❇ The main mogul (several provinces)

💬 Why do Koreans like to say, "Grandfather came to tell"?

Because of Korean Shamanism:

1️⃣ believe that the ancestors did not leave - still watching over the offspring.

2️⃣ Grandparents know family stories well, so they can give advice on the spot.

3️⃣ Culture Respect Adults - Being told by grandparents makes it credible.

4️⃣ want to comfort - knowing that the dead still care makes peace of mind.

Both Thailand and Korea:

🌟 Summary

Thai shape

□ Emphasis on gods, calm, sacred

□ Short ritual. Use candle incense.

❇ Give a prophecy, fix the brew

Korean vessel

❇ Emphasis on ancestors (grandparents), bustling, living

❇ Long rituals, music, dance

□ Expel the soul. Consolation.

Both: It helps people to be mentally dependent, but it requires conscious use!

P.S. Whether it's believed or not, it's important to respect other people's beliefs and use judgment to make decisions. 💕
